Happy Friday neighbors š
I appreciate all the feedback from last week. Keep it coming! I aim to please.
Thereās a lot to catch up on this week. It was a little wild, to be honest.
Iāve rounded up the latest local housing numbers, another local jobs report, recent court filings, updates on Pennsylvaniaās proposed health regulation changes, and other news from around the community.
Iāll also share the story that drew the most readers this week, which looked back at a former King of Prussia brewery, along with a significant arrest involving a local man accused of chasing a former friend through neighborhood yards and threatening to shoot him.
And, since itās Friday, youāll find plenty of things to do this weekend and a few upcoming dates worth adding to your calendar.
So, if you missed a story or two during the week, settle in. Iāve got you covered š
