COLUMBIA SPY

This week's photos of Columbia Superman in jail? The bars must be made of kryptonite.  This will happen soon enough.  Here's a cozy little home shrouded by snow on the first block of South 3rd.  Last of the season, most likely  Not necessarily good advice  But this probably is good advice.  The many steps to pumpkinhood  Starling convention near the railroad tracks  Speaking of the railroad tracks, here's a couple of fancy train cars.  And there they go.  Assuming the snacking stance  When nuts aren't available, he'll settle for maple tree seeds, as shown here.  The Keeley stoves are still inside the Market House.  Here's the third one.  Differing views on religion  The Railroad Administration Office of Safety - mobile, no less  CAT ON BOARD  Pick yourself up afterwards  Yes, please patrol. ...

Dr. Larry Laird positions an aluminum time ring (the white part) on a wrought iron clock face. The ring is held slightly away from the surface with rubber spacers to prevent electrolysis between the aluminum and the iron. Why is Dr. Larry Laird working against the clock? Well, to renovate a clock, of course. Or more accurately, four clocks. Laird, who owns the local company Global Time Wizard, reluctantly took on a big project several months ago: renovating four 19th-Century clocks from an old German Lutheran church in Philadelphia. The clocks had slowly deteriorated since their installation over 150 years ago due to exposure to the elements. Each clock face has a little square door to access the clock movement once the clocks are installed. The doors are original. Each face is four feet in diameter. Laird and assistant Cody spent over half a year working on the project at Laird's Locust Street studio. To begin, Cody spent several months wire-brushing rust and ...

This year, Christmas festivities in Columbia Borough - including a day full of public appearances by Santa Claus, Mrs. Claus, and their elves - will coincide with Small Business Saturday on Nov. 30. Recognized in towns and cities across the country, Small Business Saturday is an effort to encourage people to patronize small, locally owned businesses. As an added incentive, parking will be free in downtown Columbia on Small Business Saturday. MORE: https://www.townlively.com/santa-claus-headed-to-columbia-for-small-business-saturday/

Pyramid Construction is planning to lift materials to the roof of the new building’s steel superstructure at 401 Locust Street on Thursday/Friday, November 21-22, 2019. A crane (larger than the previous one) will be situated in the street to perform the work. The intended timeline is two (2) days, weather permitting, with the specific goal to finish late Friday (11/22). Flagger Force traffic control personnel will provide support and signage at strategic places in the one to two block area to minimize convergence of traffic when the crane is operational in the street.   After the Thursday workday the crane will be staged in the north parking lane of Locust Street to allow overnight traffic to flow normally. Friday work will again start early and close the street until roof material loading is completed. [Source: Columbia Borough]

Columbia Borough School District is in need of Winter coats for students in grades 5-12. If you have unused coats in good condition please consider donating it/them. Here is more information from Superintendent Strickler: Good Evening to Columbia Borough School District Community Partners: The weather has turned cold very quickly.  Two years ago (2017), you helped our students obtain winter coats.  The response was so great, that the coat donations lasted until now. At the high school and middle school level (grades 5 through 12), we gave our last coat away this week.  We still have coats remaining at the elementary level. Our students ages 10 through 18 are in need of winter coats – male and female, all sizes. If you know of any new or slightly used winter coats – young people style – and would like to donate them to the District, please contact me or drop them off at the District office (200 N 5th St,. Columbia, PA).  If you need items picked up, a ...
