COLUMBIA SPY

The mayfly issue on the Veterans Memorual Bridge has apparently made it to cracked.com : http://www.cracked.com/article_22696_the-14-most-insane-things-happening-right-now-623_p9.html

A creature that seems more myth than mystery, and  sounds like a miniature Bigfoot , will be the centerpiece of the Albatwitch Festival from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 26, in Columbia, Lancaster County. Sightings of the albatwitch - reportedly a very slender, 4- to 5-foot-tall, ape-like creature covered in reddish-brown hair - date back 400 or 500 years to the Susquehannock Indians.

Columbia Spy hopes someone is keeping an eye on the structure at 208-210 Locust Street.  In our humble, non-scientific, subjective opinion, the building appears to have slumped a bit on the left side, near the second-story window (even allowing for lens distortion).   This photograph was taken today:

At last night's meeting of the whole it was discussed how turning off the lights on the Veterans Memorial Bridge lured swarms of mayflies to lights "further inland." The following video, taken at about 10 o'clock last night, shows thousands of mayflies swarming around lights in the Columbia Plaza parking lot and falling to the asphalt below.

Two cat owners took their pets for a walk around town today. Bravo to these animal lovers who took their cats out and about for a bit of fresh air!
