I
If you're looking for reservations for one of those swanky roof top restaurants in NYC (of course, Refinery rooftop), there's not much I can do for you. But here in Media, we have some exciting action going on top-side with a restaurant that can hold its own with some of the best.
Forget Dining Under the Stars, Azie on State Street is the place to be this week for an

Whether it's programs like Bike-To-Work, awareness campaigns, job expos, transportation safety for schools, or collaborations with SETPA; this group makes an impact.
Thanks to those who reach out week after week with questions, observations about Media and requests for help with promoting an event. I enjoy them and usually get back to people within the day.

This is a story I've been following closely since hearing about it a few weeks ago, which involved a small business here in Media called, ION Sport Juice. What intrigued me about the effort was that they were producing a product right here in everyone's home town and was looking to the community to help fund their business plan.
I liked the idea, but loved the opportunities this could provide
The recent ruling by Judge Proud has found Media Borough Council in contempt of court over Third Street Bridge. Media resident, Michael Jordan writes letter to the editor expressing embarrassment over the matter.

If you live along one of the listed streets and would like to speak for or against the matter, there will be an open discussion about the plan starting at 7pm on Thursday at borough hall.

There's been rumors swirling about another brewery coming to Media for almost a year, but today it's been finalized. The Sterling Pig Brewery will be coming to Media by well known restauranteur, Loic Barnieu. If anyone can pull of a cool brewery, it's Loic with a multitude of experience in the restaurant industry. The location will be at the end of State Street where it intersects with
Beer Here - Cool video from 320 Market I really like what 320 Market is doing with these videos. They run them from time-to-time on their Facebook page, which really gets across a great message of what they're up to, what they're working on and why you should give them a try. I'm not a beer guy, but nice marketing campaign explaining to someone like myself the
If you and your family like the outdoors and watching movies, well you're in luck. Media Family Movie night is back at Barrall Field this Saturday evening (2014). The featured movie is shown on a two-story movie screen that brings back the look and feel of a drive in movie theater.
This is a well liked event by Media residents, so make plans to get there early. For whatever reason,

Is Media getting Bamboozled? Well, I suppose that depends on who you ask, however one reader really is being affected by the overgrowth of bamboo at the corner of Jefferson and Gayley Street on the south side of town. It's a bit hard to see in the picture, but bamboo shoots are seen behind the stop sign and are interfering with vehicles.
Thanks to the person that took the time to bring this to
What was known as Generations Restaurant is officially closed as described by the sign on the front door today. It also stated that renovations are underway which are in preparations for a new restaurant called Maggie's Hook. From what I understand, this will be a seafood grill setup. As for the pub, that'll remain as is, and I believe will
