today’s news and information gleanings from here and there!
Quote for today… “Yes, but it is often applied more generally: you can’t fully appreciate or understand a situation/event/place etc. without basic information about its nature/function/context etc.” – One of the responses to the phrase, “You can’t tell the players without a scorecard.”
- Summit Properties adds one more to its stable of Columbia rental properties: “a property on Walnut Street (530 Walnut Street?) to Summit Street Properties LLC for $34,250.” – Lancaster Online
- and last week … there were a number of transfers to OMA&S Realty: “Noticed OMA & S Properties, LLC has acquired three properties in Columbia according to today’s LNP – Always Lancaster. Curiously, the registration with the State’s Department of State Website shows an address of 29 North Fourth Street, Columbia and the County’s property ownership Website lists the home address as Great Neck, NY. Confused, yet?”
- Hang on your hat and get a score card: So this week’s deeds recorded lists a bunch of properties in Columbia being sold to 789 Main St. LLC.
- Moral of the sentencing: Go ahead, steal from your church, your boss, your charity, your fire company, your kid’s sports association … and it’s OK!
- A complete listing of all inspections at food serving facilities in Lancaster, York counties and the entire state, except those in Columbia, are listed at the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture Website. “Inspections are a “snapshot” of the day and time of the inspection. Also, at the time of the inspection, violations are recorded but are often corrected on the spot prior to the inspector leaving the facility. Inspection results are posted as inspections are conducted, and only represent eating and drinking establishments and retail food establishments that fall under the inspection jurisdiction of the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture, and those county and local health departments which have elected to post results.”
- Of course, if you’re trying to see the results of any food serving establishment in Columbia, you’re out of luck – Columbia’s codes folks choose not to share that information, if it exists, unless a right-to-know request is submitted.

WOW, Saturdays event “Thunder On The River” was fantastic. Food stands for organizations, vendor products, vintage and modern autos, motorcycles, etc. not to forget the sound of oldies playing through out the park, WOW.
To all those involved in organization, volunteering, etc a big thank you. The borough of Columbia was rocking.
Hearing the unique sound of the cars from 50’s & 60’s , truly “Thunder On The River” coupled with oldies music made my day.
