Burke commits to Villanova

Villanova was the FCS National Champion in 2009 and lost in the semifinals last year.
Notable football alums are Howie Long and Brian Westbrook.
High School football practice in Pennsylvania opens in two weeks.
Is this laziness or too convenient?
This is a continuing problem for Columbia and not only downtown. One, people don't have trash haulers and use the downtown cans as their own trash removal system. Two, most of the problem are in rental areas where there are dumpsters, but those renters don't use them because they are in the rear of their rental unit. I also know of some businesses, who have dumpsters, who lock the because of people using them to dump their trash.
I know when found, the Code Enforcement Office has gone through the trash seeking names and addresses.
Not real safe
Here's a surprise for everyone.
Last Wednesday, one of those big trucks that rumble through our downtown took out a wire and damaged a couple of lights at the intersection of Third and Locust streets.
Oh yeah, we don't need a truck route. More on that later.
In the aftermath of the cleanup, I was informed that this pole, pictured, is a nice safety factor. The larger pole was installed about two weeks ago and the old pole, the short one, was sawed off at the bottom and left hanging not real securely to the new pole.
I was told that borough officials notified the proper utility but not much was done,. I wouldn't recommend parking in the area, which is in front of the old flower shop, until its corrected.

No excuse for not updating more
If anyone is wondering why there haven't been more updates on this site, because, yes there is a lot happening in our town, there's no good reason I can give the good folks of Columbia, other than it being hot.
I was involved in a couple of research-type projects -- one to get nominations for the Columbia High School Athletic Hall of Fame and another researching the number of games played since 1898 by the Crimson Tide in football.
In my way of thinking, neither went the way I expected. More on that in the coming days/weeks.
I also catalogued the thousands of sports cards I have (MLB, NHL, NBA, NFL and the dreaded NASCAR) and I am looking to unload them. Most are from the mid to late 1980s into the high 1990s. More on that later as well.
Other than it being super hot, the words just weren't flowing like normal. I even sat outside the other night and put the words to paper, but not paper to computer.
Well, I got plenty of information to pass along, so stay tuned.
