We might be done with the mayflies, but the mayflies aren't done with us

More mayflies, many still fluttering, were gathered in the vicinity of the former Masonic Temple on the 300 block of Locust Street on Thursday morning.

This datestone might also designate the number of mayflies on and around the building.

This white one hid in the grass at River Park. The next wave of mayflies coming this year will reportedly be white.

Do you know these ladies?

These ladies, who are well known to most residents of Columbia, were sitting in the Columbia Plaza parking lot Wednesday evening.

Can you name them?

If you know who they are, then you probably also know they were there to collect donations for the first night of the "Fill the Bus" campaign.

Throughout July, donations of school supplies will be accepted at Musser's Market parking lot (in the Columbia Plaza) on Wednesdays, 6-8 p.m. and Saturdays, 9 a.m. to noon. The donations help Columbia Borough School District.

More information can be found HERE.

Brucekie's busted

Sorry, Brucekie's.

And in a few days, this song will finally be relevant

"Saturday in the park,

I think it was the Fourth of July."

Everyone loves Loreto's

And that empties the jar.

And this is

THE END.

Something's burning, once again, in the vicinity of the Canoe Club

This video and the following photos were taken Tuesday evening. They show a fire in the vicinity of the Columbia Canoe Club. Fires have been spotted there several times in the past. Columbia Spy hopes last night's fire was not unattended and wonders about the legality of such fires within the borough.

Artillery near 304 Union

We initially thought this was the artillery piece to be substituted for our existing piece in the plaza of the Veterans Memorial Bridge, as discussed at a council meeting last year.

Columbia Spy checked the plaza and found that no substitution had been made for the existing piece.
