It's Monday (not Sunday) 7-9-12 - Media in Two Minutes!

Yes, you read that correctly,  the Sunday run-down happens to be on Monday this week.  The reason being, I'll be traveling a lot this month and my schedule hasn't been very conducive to sitting down for an hour to write a post.

Truthfully, I was going to give this week's "Media in Two Minutes" post the week off, but a few of you emailed wondering where it was.  So, although it's a day late, here it is......Let's Go!

Shopping carts left in the borough:

What immediately comes to mind is the recent sightings of shopping carts left around the borough.  I saw one again (third time) this week on Veteran's Square.  Not sure what's going on there, but it's now become the norm that a cart is left there, than the exception.  In addition, three ACME carts were left outside the Raven Hotel across the street in the empty lot.  I'm not sure why all the sudden this has become a problem, or if I've just taken more notice.

Super Wawa:

I don't expect much news on this item for the month of July, though things should start to pick up in August.  Interestingly, Edgmont is in a similar situation with a proposed Wawa in their township.  Media Town Talk covers the story and latest developments.

Trash cans and recycling bins at Media Little League field

A bit off topic, but I wanted to provide and update.  A few weeks ago there was a comment made that the Media Little League field was lacking trash cans and recycling bins.  I notified a few people about this to have something done.  I swung by this week and did see ample bins at the site.  Let me know if otherwise.

Third St. Bridge:

What I've termed as the the "controversial" Citizen's Advisory Committee has been quietly dissolved.  There was no  formal written statement about this, but was addressed at a recent council meeting.  Interesting timing here, as the CAC should have been utilized, especially now,  to provide input on the aesthetics for the agreed upon dam/bridge.

Bastille Celebration and Car Show:

Media has a big weekend coming up with the tremendously popular Bastille Day celebration hosted by the Media Arts Council.  A carnival of sorts that has something for every age group.  You can read more at the MAC website.

What I thought was Media's best event last year is back!  On July 15th, is the 5th Annual Car show held on State St. I won't be able to make either event, but look forward to the pictures.

Here's a video from last year's 2011 event.
