All Things Media, PA in two minutes - Recap of the week

Here's a quick rundown of this week's more notable news in Media, PA

CAC PRESENTATION ON THE THIRD ST. BRIDGE:

This is one of two big issues this week, the second being the grand opening of two new restaurants.  On Thursday, 4/4 the Citizens Advisory Committee was to present their findings on the Third St. bridge.  I wasn't at the meeting, so I've yet the hear their formal report.  There's plenty been written by me on the matter in the last few weeks, but it will really come down to what is decided by Borough Council at the next borough council meeting on Thursday, 4/19, and of course the agreed upon court settlement.  I'm sure there will be developments between now and then, and I'll post accordingly.

NEW RESTAURANTS: SPASSO'S and DIEGO'S

Ok, so what everyone wants to know is when are these restaurant going to open.  As of yesterday I heard Spasso's will have a soft, invitee only opening on Monday 4/9.  The full opening is expected Wednesday 4/11.

Not to miss out on the action, I hear Diego's will open Tuesday, 4/10.  So, even if the dates are off by a day or so, it's a building rumor these restaurants will open this week.

April 24th - Primary Election:
Typically, election Primaries are in May, but we will be having one this month, April, 24th.  Here's a link to information about your polling location.

MEDIA 5 MILER: June 15th 2012

If you haven't signed up to run in this event, and want to, you better.   I hear it sells out quickly and I know sign-ups have been brisk.  If you don't make the cut-off, not to fret; as there are plenty of events that go on during this event.  In fact, it's becoming Media's favorite event of the year.  It's $30 to enter and here's where you can register.

MEDIA HOSTS "WELCOME HOME PARADE FOR VETS" April, 28th 2012

With three weeks to go until this event, there's been surprisingly a minimal amount of information.  I've not seen any window flyers, announcements or online updates. 

What: Media Welcome Home Troops Parade
Where: Media, Pa.
When: April 28
Rally: To be determined
Rally time: To be announced.

MEDIA ELEMENTARY TEMP. CLOSURE:

Two weeks ago it was announced that Media Elementary will be closed during the 2012/2013 school year due to needed structural roof repairs.  The big issue here is where will the students be relocated to.  The next school board meeting is April 26th, so there may be further clarification on the issue and possible options.  Though not scientific, people who have taken the ATM poll have been leaning towards using the soon to be vacant Nativity BVM facility.

 EVENT DATES:

• Media's Bastille Day Celebration: Saturday, July 14 2012
• 5th Annual Media Downtown Car Show: Sunday, July 15 2012

 A KINDLE FIRE:

In appreciation of all the readers who visit this site, I somehow I want to find a way to give away a Kindle Fire.  If you have a good cause, or if I can come up with a contest, I'll provide one of the snazzy tablets from Amazon.

 Happy Easter and Passover.
