Good Morning, Upper Merion!

Welcome to Sunday! I have two words on my mind today: longer days. Since we celebrated the winter solstice yesterday, that means brighter times are literally ahead! 🌞

• Today, we’re highlighting the new Tommy Bahama Marlin Bar opening in Upper Merion. I know this cold and snow is giving you all some island vibes?

• Penn State’s defense came to play, dominating SMU in a playoff victory. Nittany Lions fans, this one’s for you!

• And don’t miss the magic at Elmwood Park Zoo’s Dog Nights, where you and your pup can enjoy a paw-some evening under the lights. 🐾✨

Ok, let’s get to the rest of today’s lineup. Ciao for now!
