Recent pics . . .


 Crimson and Gold in bloom



Hey, that light cover is back.

 Well, it's not exactly the same one.  This one was fabricated out of galvanized aluminum. It's a replacement for the one that went missing a few years ago. The old one matched the building.


 More work on those self-storage units along 441, ya dig?


 Steel storm sewer cover that looks like it was made in metal shop. Does this makeshift-looking thing pass muster? Why is it the only one in town that looks like this? It's on the "forgotten" block of Union Street.


Red-eyed pigeon from Hell?






 Saturday morning bridge inspection





 This area of River Park was recently cleared in preparation for the park's Phase III.



 MAYOR

Today is World Press Freedom Day, but here's what Senator Scott Wagner did yesterday


On yesterday's "About Town" post, we cited a quote by State Senator Scott Wagner that demonstrated his ignorance of science. We said the quote tells you all you need to know about Senator Wagner.

We were wrong. 

There's more you should know about the senator. 

Yesterday, he disrupted his own speech, stole a videographer's camera and apparently assaulted him. Fortunately, the videographer continued filming with a cellphone. 

The two videos plus the rest of the story can be found here:

About Town

Pics from our fair borough . . .


 How much is that Boston Terrier in the window - 
The one with the cast-iron tail?

 Remember to walk your walker daily.

 Is there any other kind?
Many who claim to be conservative aren't really.

 Intrigue under the bridge or just a new parking place?

 Art station at Columbia Crossing

 Coming up

 Lions lyin' on Chestnut!

 Spelling is passé.

 Hidden in plain sight

 Tuxedo on the lookout

 Two-face! Does Batman know about this?

Right leg up is buying, left leg up is selling.
Or is it the other way 'round?
Or is it an early clue to a new fashion?

 Let your freak flag fly!

 Awaiting an arrival?

 Chest out, stomach in

 Grackle cackle


 Handmade "treats" hung at the river

 Watching the rat race


 So . . . were these signs approved by the Borough?

 Blossoms on the walk

 Luna looking to learn at CHS

Another art station - at 8th & Chestnut

Are we great again yet?
The line at the bottom of this poster states that it was paid for by Scott Wagner. Wagner is a Republican PA state senator from York who recently said of climate change: "I haven’t been in a science class in a long time, but the earth moves closer to the sun every year -- you know the rotation of the earth," Wagner said, according to State Impact, an NPR affiliate. "We’re moving closer to the sun."

And that statement should tell you all you need to know about Senator Wagner.
