Robins hanging around 

The clock tower’s backside 

Lions emerging from the snow

Ice-covered downspout at the Market House 

At the bridge plaza 

Tractor in the snow on Bridge Street 

More snow

Hydrant in the snow

Onward to the bridge!

Another lion emerging 

Another victim of PennDOT?

Yet another robin

Cedar waxwing

Even more robins

Down at the ramp

Wheelbarrows with wood

Highway workers are still at it . . .

At the town square 

Ready for next time

Also ready for next time

Work has resumed at the former Columbia Drive-in site. The work had stalled for a couple of years.

One assumes that this is still the plan for the site:

“A planned development that will include 18,000 square feet of retail space, a 3,000 square foot restaurant, a 3,500 square foot bank, 163 mid-rise apartments, and 9 low-rise townhomes, according to West Hempfield Township Planning Commission meeting minutes of May 16, 2019. The project was also discussed at the February 2, 2021 and October 5, 2021 West Hempfield Township Supervisors’ meetings.”
