One anecdote says that a former councilman’s brand new dentures reside within this brick wall.
Another story says that a Columbia resident, tired of the drug dealing in Columbia Park, beat up a dealer with an aluminum baseball bat several years ago. The drug dealer never came back.
According to another anecdote, there are bullet holes in the north and south faces of the town clock, resulting from someone shooting from an apartment across the street.
Here’s the north face, and there do appear to be two holes, one next to the 6 and the other near the 12.
And here are a couple of close-ups:
But here’s the south face, with no discernible “exit wounds.”
