Where Is The Parkesburg Fountain?

Up until a week ago this beautiful fountain, both a historical artifact and a source of pride for the residents of Parkesburg, was sitting atop a brick base at the corner of Main Street and Strasburg Ave directly across the street from Rocco's and Anna's fine Italian restaurant.

Not anymore. All that remains is the brick base, minus a couple of bricks, and the exposed water pipes.

Anyone know who took it and where it is?

Updated Police Web Page

Parkesburg's Police Department, a police force that serves not only the residents of Parkesburg but Atglen, Highland and Avondale as well, introduced a terrific new website over the weekend.

The website (www.parkesburgpolice.org), who's five year cost was covered by a local business, will serve as a platform for residents to learn about the services the Police Department performs as well as provides a way for residents to reach out to individual police officers via email.

In addition Chief Sheller hopes the web site gives those looking to move to Parkesburg another positive impression of the community.

Check out the page for yourself. I'm sure you'll agree the pictures and the information about the men and women of our police force show Parkesburg in a wonderful light!

Great site. Kudos to our police force and Police Chief Brian Sheller.
