Three vehicles collided yesterday at Ninth and Locust Streets just before noon.  Two of the vehicles, a red Toyota and a black Dodge van then slammed into the front brick porch wall at 852 Locust Street.  Several people were treated for injuries.

On Saturday afternoon, six people were hospitalized after a two-car collision on North Third Street.  Emergency personnel removed the roof of a car to free one of the victims.

 These two seemed to be doing a rain dance 

at River Park.

 But – uh-oh – there was enough mud without any rain.

 Then WGAL’s Katelyn Smith showed up.

 She checked out the park . . . 

. . . and then her notes.

 Meanwhile, uptown, Steve Madonna strummed 

outside the newly created Glenn Gallery as the
Fourth Fridays celebration began.  

 Chris Davis posed outside 

the gallery with Pandora.

 I saw this interesting notation 

on Locust Street.

 Further down Locust, I saw this speaker 

hanging from a cord at the old Charles Chips building.

 There was also a sign.

 Chris Vera invited us in.

 There was live music inside.

 Back uptown, this guy was adjusting 

the flag at borough hall.

 This lady was selling liquid volcanoes.

 Apparently, they passed the taste test.

 Jackie Shive showed off her creations.

 There were also birdhouses by Mike.

 Back at Fourth and Locust, these guys 

began an impromptu jam session . . . 

 . . . and traded guitar licks.

 At Glenn Gallery, Steve and friends were 

getting into it.

 Inside SCCA, these guys were making 

music, too.  Note the speaker dangling 

from the singer’s neck.

 Outside, Chris picked up a nifty hat from 

the balloon man . . . 

 . . . as did this guy.

 The musicians at SCCA stepped outside. 

I assume they did so because of the heat from the
furnaces inside the building.

 I was told they are members of The Wayfarers.

 Anyway, they didn’t hold back at all 

and sounded quite good.

 This girl liked her new hat, too.

 And so did this kid.

 This guy is another area singer.

Finally, the balloon man outfitted another willing victim. 

Google honors Robert Moog today by incorporating a Moog synthesizer into its logo.
