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.

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.
On Saturday morning, community groups united to clean up leaves. The effort included members of the Columbia Park Rangers, Old Public Grounds, Lions Club, Borough Highway Department, and National Honor Society, who worked together at multiple locations including Locust Street Park, the Columbia Library, and Janson Park.

Yes, there was fog.
