What I saw recently

Some pics from around town over the last few days . . .

 Hangin’ out

 Seen at the former United Telephone Company building

 An empty on the shelf

 And two more on the step

 Now, that’s a constructive use for a parking lot (4th & Locust).

 Plus, a few plants on the roof

 The Confederates have infiltrated . . . 

 and decided to stay a while.

 Cardinal in a tree

Some tats about town . . .

 The Addams Family house at 9th & Chestnut is now held together by caution tape.

 A visitor to River Park.  I think it’s some sort of heron.

 Cleaning the park on Sunday morning.

 Further uptown – another caretaker of the grounds

 A former WWII pilot?

Last but not least – THE END

Bid stage under way for Columbia bypass project

LANCASTERONLINE
The Columbia bypass is finally ready to launch, with a bid opening early next year and work slated to begin by the spring.

The goal of the $12.7 million, state-funded project is to take truck traffic out of downtown Columbia, where it has rattled windows, torn up roads and vexed residents for years.

What I saw recently

Some pics from around town over the last few days . . .

 These notices have been popping up on properties around town lately.

The government is once again in the process of confiscating private property.

 Grammar anyone?

 So what DID happen at this property on the 200 block of Locust?
It’s the same place as shown HERE.

 Little Boy Blue casting his fate to the wind (or at least his line to the water).

 The hands of fate?  Nah, just more cool kitsch at Burning Bridge Antiques.

 Jailed without due process

 Spelling . . . ?

 Hitchin’ a ride

 Seen on the 200 block of Union Street.  Is it legal?
If so, I want one for my property that says WHOVIAN ZONE.

Seen in Wrightsville.
Hmmm . . . .
