Questions about Snow Plowing in Media

#mediapa #delcoI have to think if a borough snow emergency was issued last week, as were in neighboring towns, the roads would have been better plowed leaving for an improved parking situation in Media.

Here's an example of snow banks spilling over on Front Street into the parking spaces that are clearly unusable.  As you can see this street was plowed, but obviously not as a snow emergency

MEDIA IN TWO MINUTES 


Good Morning, World!  I'm dreaming of a white Easter!

How good is your cell phone coverage in Media? What's your experience with T-Mobile?

Again this week I was asked if T-Mobile’s coverage is good enough to justify a switch.  This is hard to gauge without people’s input, but with a recent move by T-MOBILE to pay you to leave your current carrier, it may be worth a frank discussion. I use AT&T and have for years.  I found their coverage(iPhone 4s) here in Media borough to be quite good for both voice and data(3G), but I imagine

MEDIA IN TWO MINUTES


Thanks for reading this week!  I'll try to keep it on the short side as the goal here is to provide a two-minute brief of what's going on in Media, PA.  Sometimes that's not so easy with so much going on, but if it makes M2M, it's important to someone. That's not to say I couldn't do a Media in Five Minutes, but in these times who's got five undivided minutes?

Media Borough Lacked Important Leadership During Recent Ice Storm

#delcosnow

Having had a tree fall on my house, I didn't need Pennsylvania to issue a State of Emergency to know we were going to be in for a rough time during the ice storm earlier this week.  For thousands of others, that misery came in the form of loss of power and heat. This wasn't just a matter of inconvenience, but for many, an unwanted exercise in survival that has lasted for days.
