About to take a great fall?

Bricks replaced presumably by UGI, with a nice mortar job - 
Everything matches perfectly.

This building (the former Subway) at 149 North 3rd is going to be gutted, renovated and turned into a convenience store, according to borough documents.

It was keeping on eye on these pigeons, who were hanging together.

This one was a casualty.

Governor Wolf ordered that flags fly at half-staff on Saturday, October 22, in honor of a soldier killed in the Korean War and only recently identified.

Who complied?

Borough Hall
Nope!

Columbia Crossing
Nope!

Columbia Post Office
Nope!

The DAC
Nope!

These were just a few of the buildings around town that were checked.
It's ironic and shameful that the flags weren't lowered to honor a veteran when Columbia claims to honor its veterans.
