 This week’s photos of Columbia

(Click/tap on photos to see larger, sharper images.)

Santa D and his elves were down at the bridge plaza this past week.

They were collecting for Toys for Tots.

As of this past Friday, they collected 12,692 toys, plus over $36,000 in monetary donations, according to the 96.1 SOX Facebook page.

Way to go!

Here’s a shot of a vine-covered tree at the Laurel Hill Memorial Gardens.

These people were at the former McGinness airfield on Thursday.

A little later, this sign appeared.

(Shouldn’t it say PUBLIC PROPERTY, since we the people own it?)

And something else was added . . .

This construction fencing was placed in the field.

Here are a few fog photos at the Holy Trinity Cemetery on Saturday morning.

Almost done – the Habitat for Humanity project on South 5th

The boys are back in town, or at least back on the bridge.

This is another in recent series of bridge inspections. PennDOT must really be concerned.

Another new sign

And another

This building on the 300 block of Walnut was once a bakery.
