Coffee, chat and some football

It was suggested earlier on one of my chats to do one Saturday morning, when folks have off work. So this Saturday, let's chat around 10 a.m.

Get there early

For those venturing to the hill for the game tomorrow -- there are three class reunions going to be at the game, its also Homecoming and Football Friday will also be in attendance. so what I am saying without drawing a picture -- don't wait till the last minute to get there -- you might find parking tough and in the ticket line to get in. Plus. you'll miss a pretty good football game and perhaps Homecoming!

Top county official visits

Former West Hempfield Township manager Charlie Douts, now a top official with Lancaster County, was among the many visitors to the Columbia Market House this morning.

21 and counting

Don't know if you have been following the real estate settlements in the Sunday News each week, other than the numerous sheriff sales, one constant has been BHI Properties out of Mifflintown.

The property management firm, according to county records, owns up to 21 properties in the borough, if not more.

BHI is buying up properties in town that are single family dwellings and converting them into Section 8 or multiple family units. I was told last week by a member of borough council, a local broker is involved in this and at least one property was sold to BHI and the deal was negated after the seller found out what was going on. In addition, they are asking for appeals of their tax assessments as

BHI is located at 366 Empire Dr., Mifflintown.

Here is a list of their recent purchases and I think you might add another one, I saw for sale in the 200 block of South Fifth St. today.
