The bridge inspectors were on our end this morning.

So, they might be "wrapping it up" soon.

A nearby gaggle of geese watched.

Guess who's back.

This yard sale sign has been down at the bridge plaza for at least a week. When the first commemorative bricks honoring veterans were installed there a few years ago, council said no signs would be permitted in this place of honor.

Good idea to avoid sun exposure.

You never know when you'll need a spare branch.

The fire company was dispatched to the 400 block of Locust this morning for a brush fire which turned out to be smoking mulch at the base of a parking meter post.

A little later, fire personnel responded to a report of a fire at an apartment on Bethel Street.

Paving was underway today on the 700 and 800 blocks of Walnut Street.

This vehicle might prove useful tonight.
