The Mount Zion African Methodist Episcopal Church has received a $200,000 grant to restore the former Harvey T. Makle building at 230 S. Fifth St, shown above. The restored space will house the new Stephen Smith Community Development and Multi-Cultural Center.
In 2016, community leaders assembled in front of the building to denounce violence, as Columbia Spy reported HERE.

A constable was in town Sunday morning.
Also this morning: Several young ladies, including the one shown here, rode scooters in the cold along Marietta Avenue. Real scooters, not any wimpy e-scooters!
Look at that – someone left a message for borough council.
