Media's Lukoil Gas Station Closes

Media's Lukoil Gas Station Closes

A handwritten sign posted on the front entrance of the Lukoil gas station in Media, confirms the location has been closed for good as of 8/28/13.  It's not clear if the proposal for a new Wawa in the area had any influence on this closure, but this raises a compelling question: Does this further the need for a new Wawa across the street?

BBQ Smoker Stolen from Jack's Tavern

It didn't take but 10 minutes before someone came up to me and said, "Did you hear the news?"  I replied, "I must not have, what happened?"  It was then I was told of an unlikely theft that still has me shaking my head in disbelief.  

Last Friday afternoon, someone came up to Jack's Tavern and stole their BBQ smoker out of their parking lot.  I'm not talking an oversized Weber grill you throw in

Media's Newest Car Wash or Borough Council Neglect?

You'd think you were driving into a car wash with all the rain water cascading down, but what it really is is the Olive Street parking garage in Media.  Borough Council has known about this for at least 18 months and still, nothing gets done!

A word of caution:  People who have parked in this garage and who have had this water running over their cars have filed insurance claims because of paint

Fireworks at 3:30am?

3:30am noise heard

If you live on the northern side of Media, you may have heard what sounded like fireworks at 3:30am Saturday morning.  It was a LOUD pop, followed a few seconds later with three other pops.  It was disturbing enough to wake people up from Sixth Street, on over to N. Olive and perhaps beyond. Some have questioned, including me whether they could have been gunshots.  Being it

A special thanks this week to the Media VFW.  I was invited down there to help with their Sunday breakfast buffet they had last weekend.  It's quite a daunting task to cook made-to-order omelets there on the spot with a line of people in front of you.  I probably cooked 50 or so, which wasn't so bad once everything was dialed in.  Thanks!

Ok, Let's Go.

A Deal In The Works For The Granite Run Mall?

There's been chatter this week that there may be a deal on the table for the Granite Run Mall.  As reported months ago, this property is up for sale, free and clear for the Mall complex and adjacent buildings (not including Riddle Ale House and Hannum's Harley Davidson).  That's about 57 acres with an estimated appraised value around $27 million from what I understand.  

What I do know is that
