The heady saga of a horse with no name

As reported previously HERE, the concrete horse shown below was vandalized a few weeks ago, and sustained severe head injuries.  As a matter of fact, he lost his head completely.  Fortunately, the mechanics across the street at Susquehanna Automotive (Fourth and Chestnut) were able to reattach the head, using metal rods and windshield adhesive.  As of this writing, all that remains to be done is applying body putty to a few places, including the crack in the neck where the head was reconnected, and repairing the left ear, after which the horse will be painted. And voila - back in stable condition.




Hit! Hit! Hit! . . . and Run!

Emergency personnel responded to a vehicle accident on the 900 block of Barber Street at about 7:30 this evening.  A white Chevy pickup truck came to rest on the sidewalk along the one-way street after shearing off a traffic sign post, damaging a tree, and mangling a fence.  The truck sustained front end damage and at least two blown tires. The driver left the vehicle and fled on foot westward along Barber. Witnesses said he told them he was injured and was holding his wrist as he fled. The pickup truck had reportedly sped down Plane Street and onto Barber immediately before the driver lost control. Police identified the driver from evidence at the scene.
