I grew up in Mountville but it's as bad as/worse than Columbia anymore. I guess with Columbia on one side and Lancaster on the other it's only a matter of time before Mountville crumbles and dies too. Shame. It was a nice place to grow up 30 years ago.

I was going to keep my mouth shut on this one, but you will have no such luck to day. Born and raised a river rat(I live in washington boro now) but anyway, I still go up there because of family and what not. Onea thing I can assure you is that most of the challenges that occur in columbia are not from the true columbians, it is from the ppl that find there wat there off the busses and stuff. it doesnt help that we they have landlords that will let all kinds of riff raff move in either. Columbia is always gonna have that reputation, but for the most part, it is not the true columbia people. Its out of towners. Dont get me wrong, there is a bad bunch everywhere you go.

Excuse me litlmo, but you are wearing blinders. The people who cause trouble in Columbia [and have for a long time], were born and reared in Columbia. I was reared a "Washington Boro Tomotao" or river rat, also. I remember when it was safe to walk to Columbia to catch the bus to go to Lancaster. But, even then Columbia was not totally safe. You had to know where to walk and where not to walk. Columbia was like most extended towns. There were folks of all kinds and demeaner. The worst folks did not all live on "the other side of the tracks" or on "Front Street", either. Some very good people lived on the first few streets of town, in addition to "the other kind". Columbia may now be inundated with negative people, just as all other areas of the county. However, there have always been "all types" of "true Columbians" in Columbia. Columbia has not had a good reputation for over 50 years. I have no idea how you came to your conclusions.

I lived in Columbia over half my life. My one uncle was mayor, another was the hospital administrator, another was a boss at Tidy co., my aunt owned the corner store another owned the piano that once played in the opera house and when she passed it was donated to the Columbia Little Theatre.
The best years of my life were spent in Columbia and it has always and will always get a bad rap. There is NO TOWN, borough, twp whatever isolated from "bad" people. I am proud to say I came from Columbia. WITH SARCASM---The bad people from the town are so terrible that when my 3 year old daughter was diagnosed with cancer (and I was 20) these bad, bad people got together and started a fund to help me with expenses. The bad people that lived there donated money and time, the bad people from the companies in the borough donated money, goods and time, the bad people from the fire co.'s did the same and then some. The bad people did so much they even sent us to Disney World.---END OF SARCASM. She is now a healthy, beautiful adult with 2 terrific sons living in Columbia. She would not be if not for the town of Columbia and the wonderful people, businesses and organizations. Our world is what we make it no matter where one lives. |

I hate to be the "crazy" one, but the year is 2009!!! Do people really think that if you were born in a certain town/township/boro here in Lancaster County, that it's going to stop people from committing crimes or keep your neighborhood safe from criminal activity. What about the Haines murders, was that kid a McCaskey Kid or a Manheim Twp kiddo? What about the successful metal artist who made a metal sculpture for Central Market and was found dealing kilo's of cocaine in Ephrata... The East Pete resident with a stash of guns and Marijuana...People from all races, walks of life, commit crimes every day. Unfortunately the public only see's a handful of the crimes that are reported in the paper. If the readers of LNP only had a clue of the the sheer number of people in Lancaster County actively on/in Probation/Parole/ARD/Section 17, all would be shocked. I
t's unrealistic to walk around in this day and age and think that our neighborhoods are safe from any type of crime... |

It just makes the faithful feel better that LNP doesn't publicize it. I mean who would they blame all the ills of the City/County on if not those pesky non-whites. |

Even though it happened in Mountville, it's Rick Gray's fault.

There are so many smiles to share, laughter to share, yet hate and crime is more important to some. A real shame and sadness to know it's on the streets. |

Okay, educate me. It's okay to carry a gun in a holster but not in a purse, etc.? Is that considered concealing it?
I should probably know this but I don't. |
