COLUMBIA SPY

   

Recent pics . . .  Crimson and Gold in bloom Hey, that light cover is back.  Well, it's not exactly the same one.  This one was fabricated out of galvanized aluminum. It's a replacement for the one that went missing a few years ago. The old one matched the building.  More work on those self-storage units along 441, ya dig?  Steel storm sewer cover that looks like it was made in metal shop. Does this makeshift-looking thing pass muster? Why is it the only one in town that looks like this? It's on the "forgotten" block of Union Street. Red-eyed pigeon from Hell?  Saturday morning bridge inspection  This area of River Park was recently cleared in preparation for the park's Phase III.  MAYOR  Don't ever park like this.  Wait - what?!  Four feet above normal today New plaque at Columbia Crossing  History lesson ...

On yesterday's "About Town" post, we cited a quote by State Senator Scott Wagner that demonstrated his ignorance of science. We said the quote tells you all you need to know about Senator Wagner. We were wrong.  There's more you should know about the senator.  Yesterday, he disrupted his own speech, stole a videographer's camera and apparently assaulted him. Fortunately, the videographer continued filming with a cellphone.  The two videos plus the rest of the story can be found here: http://fox43.com/2017/05/03/ tracker-captures-video-of-sen- scott-wagner-grabbing-camera- during-speech-in-york-county/

Pics from our fair borough . . .  How much is that Boston Terrier in the window -  The one with the cast-iron tail?  Remember to walk your walker daily.  Is there any other kind? Many who claim to be conservative aren't really.  Intrigue under the bridge or just a new parking place?  Art station at Columbia Crossing  Coming up  Lions lyin' on Chestnut!  Spelling is passé.  Hidden in plain sight  Tuxedo on the lookout  Two-face! Does Batman know about this? Right leg up is buying, left leg up is selling. Or is it the other way 'round? Or is it an early clue to a new fashion?  Let your freak flag fly!  Awaiting an arrival?  Chest out, stomach in  Grackle cackle  Handmade "treats" hung at the river  Watching the rat race  So . . . were these signs approved by the Borough? ...
