Much of the trash has been removed from the 100 block of South Fourth Street, due in part to the citizen shown above, who was cleaning up with a dust pan and broom the other day.

Tell Jack Hubley: They might be here for a while
A few weeks ago, on a WGAL report, Jack Hubley gave the impression that the mayfly swarms plaguing Columbia and Wrightsville would soon be a thing of the past. Unfortunately, that hasn't turned out to be the case. On Saturday morning, swarms of mayflies were quite apparent at River Park - presumably freshly arrived, because many were still fluttering on the ground.
Ben Burner, Columbia Crossing's intern, had to clean them off the building once again. Columbia Spy assumes mayfly cleaning wasn't in his job description.
(Hang in there, Ben, and keep up the good work! This has to end sometime.)
Maybe they should be ticketed.

Sometimes a sidewalk is just a living room - and pedestrians have to walk in the street or take another route.
