Some 18,000 vehicles cross the Route 441 bridge over Chickies Creek near Marietta every day.
Many of those are heavy trucks carrying waste to the county incinerator in Conoy Township or pharmaceuticals from the Glaxosmithkline facility in Marietta.
Yet the 85-year-old bridge on River Road is listed as “structurally deficient” by state Transportation Department inspectors and is one of 46 in the county on a list facing weight-limit restrictions.
Some pics from around town over the last few days . . .
Columbia Borough Police in Lancaster County are looking for the suspect who robbed the Turkey Hill on Linden Street around 12:30 Wednesday morning. He was able to leave the store with the cash register tray, but police are not releasing the amount of money that was taken. Police believe he is in his early 20s. He was last seen wearing a gray shirt and jean shorts. He was driving a silver four door car with a PA license plate.
Anyone with information pertaining to this investigation should contact the Columbia Borough Police Department at (717-684-7735).
Here’s a closer view of the same pic. Unfortunately, it’s not of very good quality, because I was using a small point-and-shoot, and I “shot from the hip.” The mallards were all females, and they didn’t fly away, because their ducklings were with them. The ducklings can’t be seen in the photo, because they swam a bit further out to escape the predatory dog.
Here’s a red-tailed hawk keeping watch over the railroad tracks from a height.
One-man band Nick Disanto performed at River Park on Saturday.
He has quite a set-up.
Later on Saturday afternoon, Washington Boro tomatoes, the best in the world, were on display at the tomato festival.
It was a little past five o’clock, and the crowd was already starting to grow.
A selection of pies. I want one of each.
Thanks to whomever removed that eyesore of a sycamore growing on Second Street. Compare with HERE (fourth picture down).
Why is the street light on at 5:07 in the afternoon?
