In the month since his death on July 8, Stoy-Velazquez family have maintained a memorial to him on the corner of North Third Street and Linden Street, covering the corner with candles, photos and messages to keep his name and memory alive.

Columbia recovers after 5-6 inches of rain, flooded basements reported
Except for this wheelbarrow half-filled with rainwater (and leftover concrete), there were very few obvious effects this morning from yesterday’s torrential rains. However, some residents did report flooded basements. Columbia received 5 to 6 inches of rain, with scattered thunderstorms possible this afternoon.
