Fading away
The beauty of rust
There is reportedly only one Columbia keyholder, but is it the right one?

Ghost horse?
Back to the old grind
Lions under the weather, as in weathered

Sign down!
Another sighting of the elusive spoonbill flamingo
Snake suffocating from a seizure
An omen?
Another omen?
Snow for sale

So, there is such a place.
Big rock
So, why is there an island in Shawnee Run?
Tundra swans whooping it up
Another way to fix a utility pole

People lined up this afternoon (Sunday) to receive food items from Columbia Presbyterian/Hands Across the Street. Sometimes folks need a little help. Tax hike apologists would do well to remember that $12 a month does make a difference to some people.

Nice that the church has these events for those in need but see a couple folks in line that have money for cigarettes and alcohol. Priorities. Also seem like the key holder to the railroad Depot was there this afternoon.

Great job on the pics , this shows that the great 7 don't care about the people of this town, the hot head wants his agenda and the puppets just shake there heads yes. $12 can buy food for a family meal , but council wants street lites on a state road .

They show nothing like that. Come on!! The only reasons these pictures are up there so people can advertise the good they do. Charity is supposed to be done in private. If you need a pat on the back then it really isn't done out of love just looking for praise!
