Clock at the former Visitors Center on Linden Street

There's it is, home of the former SVCC.

 

This plaque gives some information about the property.

This Chinook was flying low on Friday morning.

So low, in fact, you could almost reach out and touch it.

There's that balloon again.

It floated over Columbia Saturday morning.

It ended up over Columbia High School.

Passengers inspect the landing zone.

Touchdown in the CHS parking lot

Another successful flight!

The Market House -  Stop in, eat a sandwich, help our taxes.

Uh-oh! What's wrong with this picture?

The ever-weedy 300 block of Avenue G

A Wells Fargo ATM is coming to the Columbia Plaza.

It will be a drive-through.

Columbia has one bank left in town: BB&T.

A BB&T just closed in East Prospect (shown above) this past week.

The Catholic War Vets got a cannon.

"Specialist Toccara R. Green" is printed on the barrel. Green is believed to be Maryland’s first woman soldier killed in combat in Iraq.

King of the lawn

Deer were out and about this morning.

Some recent photos of scenic Columbia

At CVS . . .

The weeds are as high as an elephant's eye -

a baby elephant's anyway. 

 

"Welcome to the Jungle"

Speaking of jungles, here's the Eberly Myers property at the bottom of Locust Street.

The plan was for a 33-unit apartment building to be constructed here.

That was back in 2017.

Part of the backstory is on Columbia Spy HERE.

Here's what it looks like along Bank Avenue.

According to borough ordinance, uncontrolled weeds are considered a public nuisance.

Yeah, but who cares for Columbia?

Touching up above Level Up

Allegiant Airlines flying low

A week ago

At 2nd & Walnut . . .

Borough officials might want to consider all aspects of the highly touted Walnut Street plan, 

like what to do about vehicles like this.

The housing market's on fire. Here's a house for free!

Hasn't been here for years, but the sign remains.

Lookin' good at the Mifflin House on Walnut

There's that navy surveillance plane again.

There's one every week.

Here's a surveyor - surveying, of course.

He was at Columbia River Park today.

200 block of Avenue H

Giant rooster on Locust . . .

It's at Kelman & Swartz, which Columbia Spy reported on HERE, 

when the business was at its previous location.

There's a detective sneaking around town.

By the way, Wells Fargo's for sale 

(the building, that is).
