Sidewalk still not cleared

This is the sidewalk along 462, near 6th Street, still not cleared and worse than ever.
A few minutes before I shot this photo, I saw an elderly woman carrying bags of groceries, trying to navigate this ice field.

What I saw recently

All the creature comforts you could want from a convenience store.

The rest you can get here.

Uh-huh

Car into house

A vehicle accident with entrapment occurred this afternoon when a car crashed into the front porch of a residence at 901 Park Avenue.  Emergency crews cut off the top of the car to free the three occupants, who were then taken by ambulance to Lancaster General Hospital.

What I Saw - March 2, 2014


 Someone recently wiped out this NO PARKING sign on the Barber Street side of the Columbia Plaza.
Note the tire marks under the signpost and the broken pole (left side of the photo). 

 Another view of the same.  It was only a matter of time before it got knocked over, as it had been leaning for several years, attached to its base by a single bolt.

 As this one is.

 Flocks of snow geese flew over this morning,
That means spring can't be far behind, despite the impending snow.

 Near 6th and 462: still not completely cleared, after all this time.
No worries, the coming snow will cover it up (thus making it even more dangerous).

 Another winter casualty (along 462)

Let's hope everyone is all right.

This part of the 200 block of Locust is a "minefield."
(So is the 100 block of Walnut on the right side, going towards River Park. Also, parts of 2nd Street are a dog poop disaster.  This morning, I saw a group of people letting their dog run and crap along 2nd, next to Avenue H, as they watched from the porch.)
