So this is just going to stay like this?

It was part of a water intake project for the Columbia Water Company, but it was demolished by the mighty Susquehanna, as explained HERE.

Yes, fall has fallen.

The bridge rehabilitation project can't get started soon enough.

Chunks of concrete are falling.

Here are some of the chunks.

Crumbling infrastructure . . .

Hopefully, some of the dollars from the infrastructure bill will be coming our way.  Those ol' socialist Democrats (and a few Republicans) voted to pass the bill.

Here's what's left of a Columbia taxpayer and his friend.

Here's his friend.

Great pumpkin

More evidence of fall

More progress at the Eberly Myers project at Locust Street and Bank Avenue

But what's going on here?

DEAD END

Christmas is coming at Bootleg.

A "hi" from on high

Going, going, soon to be gone . . . 

That grand, old sycamore is being removed.

It's at the former Union Community Bank on Lancaster Avenue, and is being cut down to make way for a Majik appliance store.

That's the price of progress.

Expect more progress this coming week.

Looking every which way

It's line painting time again.
