Corrective lenses to better see what's going on in town, and it's not all good.

It's enough to make one downright cantankerous.

But here are some happy folks.


They're at Park Elementary.

Something's in that window.

It's just someone watching.
Are we under surveillance?

3 "towers"

Draw your own conclusions.

7th Street still looks like a war zone, but the results will no doubt be spectacular.

This is what happens when you pull out onto 9th Street from Spruce with a long flatbed carrying a huge milling machine.

The rotating camera at 3rd & Locust was rotating this morning.


By the way, are we under surveillance?

********************************

The borough is cracking down on double parking, allegedly.

More activity under the bridge

Here's how you put the boat away at the end of the day . . .

And here's a doggo out for a ride . . .

Shown above is one of three volunteers participating in the 13th Annual PA Hero Walk who walked down Chestnut Street today on their way to the Veterans Memorial Bridge and points beyond.

************************

Road construction continues around town . . .

7th Street, between Chestnut and Walnut, was being milled this morning.




Crews were also working on the 700 and 800 blocks of Walnut Street.

Crews were also at work on the 800 block of Locust Street.

The street was then milled.

And finally - the 800 block of Locust, ready for paving

Another look at 7th Street

And a close-up

Bridge inspector giving a "thumbs up" down at the bridge

Fox 43 visited River Park this morning.

Here's where to get more information on Harcon machines.

This is a vehicle with a trailer, so it's legally parked in the middle of the River Park parking lot.

Are we under consideration for the title of WEED CITY USA?

A giant, mutant mayfly is currently in captivity under glass at Borough Hall.

Kelman & Swartz is about to open its door(s) at its new location at 305 Locust Street.
Columbia Spy previously reported on the business HERE.
