Taxi Service in Media on NYE and Interesting Options!

Peer-to-Peer Ride Sharing.  Could Technology Replace the Taxi Business?

For those that don't know this, and who will probably find it out the hard way come New Year's Eve; the taxi service on this night is quite limited.  It's gotten better over the years from the the likes of County Cab, but it is still hard to get a cab in Media, let alone enduring the wait time.

Media in Two Minutes - Go Eagles

Hopefully you're in Dallas reading today's post while getting ready for the big Eagles game later this evening.  I was hoping to be on my way to Dallas this morning while writing this post and doing the same thing. Not to be, so here we are with another round of Media in Two Minutes.

Ok, Let's Go

Media's Biggest and Most Interesting Stories of 2013

When I first thought about writing this article is was just going to be a quick and easy list of the  biggest, if not interesting stories that affected Media, PA in 2013.   Then I got to doing some research and found there were quite a few compelling things that happened this year in Everybody's Hometown.  Some good, some bizarre and others just what you'd expect from a small town of about 5,200

Ruckus on State Street Causes Damage

Broken Window on State Street

If you were wondering why there was a boarded up window on State Street, here's the story.  From what I understand there was a ruckus by Joclyn's front entrance at around 2am Saturday morning. The commotion finished with O'Malley's lower store front window being smashed.

Media in Two Minutes - Merry Christmas

Media in Two Minutes

With the recent warmth it feels more like Christmas in July, than December, but I'm not complaining about this morning's 66 degree temperature.  It's actually a nice reprieve from what I hear will be another cold snap coming in at the end of this month.  I like the cold weather too.

I'm actually working on a Best of 2013 post that will highlight all the interesting news

A Reggea Christmas Coming to Media TONIGHT!

A well known local tradition in Media, PA has always been the informal reggae christmas that takes place at what is now known as Sligo's pub.  This has been going on for years with some iconic bands like Jah Works taking stage in the past.  But true to the spirit, it all started with band members Bruce Scott and Jimmy Ziegler who really made the group "Jimmy Shoe and the Shine" a Media household

Lack of Accountability by Media Borough Council

Believe it or not, I have about a million other things I could and should be doing other than videoing Media Borough Council meetings.  So why am I doing this today?  It's easy, the total lack of accountability by Media Borough Council is something all residents and businesses should be concerned about.  When you have an exclusive majority held by one party, don't expect anyone to step up and

How to report a lost or found dog in Delaware County, PA

Luckily, I've not seen any lost dog/cat posting that you see from time to time on telephone posts or bulletin boards within the borough.  When I find these, I do what I can to post these announcements to this site.  I'll continue to do that, but there is another formal proceedure for reporting a lost or found dog that I wasn't aware of.

Media Borough Council Spends $29,200 on Legal Fees For Third Street Bridge. And for what?

Media taxpayers pay the cost.

The $29,200 Media borough council spent on lawsuit against Third Street bridge may be small in comparison to the millions incurred due to repair cost increases over the last 19 years, but at the end of the day, we still aren't any closer to having this situation fixed.  In fact, it has probably slid further backwards now that the matter will again be presented to

ATM Spotlight - Winter Weather


Media Water Works

In the last seven days we've had three storms that have led to measurable snowfall in the area.  Not sure if that's an indication of what's to come, but with it not even being officially winter yet; we've gotten more snow in the last week, than all of last year. 

This week we also felt noticeably colder temperatures.  Thought not quite

An up and coming rockstar who got a start in Media, PA!

We don't get the celebrity spotlight shown on Media frequently, and by that I mean people starring on the late night talks shows.  Look, I've never been on Jimmy Kimmel, not that I can think of any reason why I would be(at least not yet); but area local singer and songwriter Jeff Campbell who got his start playing on Media's State Street, did! Yes, that's right!  Jeff and his band were the

First Responders - Media Emergencies Don't Take Snow Days

When we get into the winter weather season here in Media, Pa we always have those who comment on the snow removal from the streets and public areas.  With two storms this week, I think the Media Highway Department did a pretty good job, but then again I drive a 4x4 truck which makes the situation a lot easier from my stand point.

Emergencies Don't Take Snow Days!



This week I did receive an

Breaking - Commonwealth Court of PA rules in Favor of BLCC on Third Street Bridge

Media Residents Keep Paying for Bad Council Leadership

This afternoon I was sent the ruling by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania which favors BLCC in their appeal to re-instate the stipulation and contempt of court ruling over Third Street Bridge filed against Media Borough last year.  After 18 years, and more recently the last two years, of borough council not understanding the basic

Roads looking decent for today's morning Commute

Delco Roads Improving for Today's Morning Commute

As of 5:15am this morning the roads for the most part are clear and drivable.  With the current temperature at 33 degrees (F) and expected to rise, the slush is giving way to a lot of water on the road with pooling in some areas.  Media Station road is still a bit snow/slush covered, but I'd expect that to be better suited for driving in the

Media in Two Minutes - Snow Way!

Media in Two Minutes



It very rarely happens, but last weekend was the first time in maybe a year I didn't write "Media in Two Minutes."  I was certainly asked about the omission, but the real reason was because I was sick and not able to get my act together last Sunday.

Today we have snow in the forecast along with the 7-5 Eagles taking on Megatron and the Detroit Lions.  Let the Christmas

A Media Tradition - Bevan's Own Make Candy EST 1959

I can't think of anything chocolate doesn't go with.  I'd probably say beer and chocolate are a little awkward, but others may argue to the contrary.  Beer has its own following and chocolate may even have a bigger one.  Ok, so maybe chocolate is the perfect food which means Media, PA is a very lucky town.  Perhaps not on par with a town named after its famous chocolate like Hersey, PA; but
