Patriotic flags, but the one on the end is a slacker.

Down at Borough Hall

The Lancaster Avenue horror show continues.

It looks like a long fishing pole but isn't.

Sinking fast

Ghost graffiti on the side of the bridge

The mystery of the bridge numbers

PA State Senator Ryan Aument appeared at Tuesday's Columbia Borough Council meeting to talk about bipartisanship (now that Democrats control the House) and extend a hand to council and constituents.

One of Columbia's many antique shops.
