Month: April 2014

This photo was taken this morning near Route 30. It appears as though construction on the new Columbia bypass is already underway. When completed, the road will permanently detour heavy truck traffic around the edge of town.

 And the point is . . . ?

 Unattached wing in Avenue H – Maybe the “Team” was at work. 

Fortunately, they didn’t get this one, a red-bellied woodpecker that’s been hanging around the neighborhood.

On April 2, a break-in occurred at Columbia Discount Computers, 23 North Fourth Street. The perpetrator gained access by prying locks on a reinforced steel door on the rear entrance near Avenue H. A small amount of money was taken.
The owner is offering a reward for information leading to an arrest. Anyone with information on this incident should call Jesse at 342-2379.

The Veterans Memorial Bridge, which spans the Susquehanna River between Wrightsville and Columbia, will return to its 1930s look this year.

A quick check at Laurel Hill Cemetery on Friday night showed that some graves retained their items while others didn’t. It’s possible that some items were replaced today in anticipation of this story breaking. (See preceding post.)
Previously, there was a sign at the entrance to the cemetery grounds, which stated that items left after a certain length of time will be removed. As of today, that sign was missing.
The cemetery’s website contains a tab to download regulations, which directs the user to a page with a “Not Found” notice.
