Saving spaces

Throughout town, various forms of using chairs, trash cans and other items have cropped up to save parking spaces.

Who is to shovel these sidewalks?

Columbia Borough's ordinance says all sidewalks must be cleared within eight hours after a snowfall. It farther says a path of three foot wide must be cleared. Apparently someone forgot to tell the owners of the sidewalk which stretches from Florence Street east to the bend on Barber Street. Since many residents of Trinity House use this stretch, they are unshoveled. The owner of the sidewalks -- COLUMBIA BOROUGH!
