Vehicle crashes through block wall

Late Saturday night or early this morning, a vehicle ran off Route 462 and crashed though a concrete block support wall next to Royer’s Flowers & Gifts.  The vehicle also demolished a real estate sign for the recently closed Turkey Hill Minit Market.  Columbia Borough police charged the driver with DUI.
(The former Minit Market building was just purchased, and the owner plans to open it as a convenience store.)

What I Saw Recently

Pics from the past week or so . . .

 Fetching water

A few pics from the Buddhist temple.  Interesting iconography . . .

 The watcher.
Compare this photo with the one right above it.

 Just hitched

 Big green gift for the bride and groom

 Lurking

 “Maintainance”?  Is that anything like “Maintenance”?  I agree that the word on the sign is probably how it should be spelled if our language made any sense, but “should-bes” don’t make it so.
And what’s that phone number again?

 Lost boutonniere, apparently screaming

 The ghost of Elvis at the State Theater (actually a reflection).
Aptly enough, quite a few of his movies played there back in the day.

Speaking of ghosts . . . a ghost sign

Columbia school district to post comprehensive plan online

The Columbia Borough School District Board of School Directors has announced that the district's comprehensive plan will be placed on public display on its website beginning Sept. 9.

Columbia is a Phase 2 district. The Pennsylvania Department of Education requires that all Phase 2 districts post their comprehensive plans for a 30-day public inspection period.

The plan must then be approved by the board and submitted to the department by Nov. 30.

The comprehensive plan serves as the framework to guide various district operations. After reviewing the plan, persons having comments should direct them to the superintendent's office.
