Fourth Street is a mess

The 100 block of South Fourth, that is . . .

Trash constantly lines the gutter and is frequently strewn on the sidewalk.

(This video was shot on Thursday of this week.)

 This morning, a pizza box, complete with remnants, was still lying near Fourth and Union, along with other trash.

Either the street sweeper didn't clean this street on Tuesday, or the litter is fairly recent (although there is always an accumulation of trash in this area). 

Wait, what are those hours on the sign?

Someone better check it again.

And last but not least . . . this "classy" graffiti was spray-painted on the sidewalk outside 137 South Fourth. The residents there must enjoy seeing this, because no one has made an attempt to remove it over the past couple of weeks.

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.

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.
