Be sure to read Jack Brubaker’s The Scribbler column in today’s Lancaster Newspapers … it is 100% Columbia! Jack answers a letter about the Columbia penchant for nicknames. He says, “Among towns in Lancaster County, Columbia stars when it comes to nicknames sticking to people throughout their lives and into their graves.”

NOTE: Look in the March 11, 2011 issue of Lancaster Newspapers for an addendum Scribbler column about Columbia’s nicknames.
