Snow and ice fortress complete with a window

A play place was discovered by April Shepperd over the weekend in the Save-a-Lot parking lot on the corner on Burkesville and Guardian Streets in downtown Columbia. Neighborhood engineers created a fortress, complete with a window/skylight, from the huge pile of icy snow that had been pushed away so shoppers could get into the parking lot. Looking inside, you can also see the concrete wall art done by Vonnie Kolbenschlag a few years ago.
If anyone can share the names and/or pictures of the building in progress, Columbia Magazine would happily add them here with April's story. Thanks to all for the smiles!

A unique architectural parking lot marvel

Winter storm Fern brought snow, covered by ice, covered by more snow, and this picture is an example of the creative responses. First responders move the snow and ice as quickly as possible, pushing it up into piles to get it out of the way. Neighborhood kids took this huge pile of snow in the corner on Burkesville and Guardian Streets that hasn't had a chance to melt and created a fantastic play space. April, pictured in the entry way, says, "Thank you to the talented, albeit cold, engineers who braved the wicked temperatures to bring joy to our community!" Comments | Permalink
