Good news for anyone who has been mourning the absence of one of Conshy's quieter dinner spots. Trattoria Totaro, the Italian BYOB run by Vince and his family, has reopened after a late-March fire damaged the kitchen, according to MoreThanTheCurve.

If you have not been watching, Fayette Street has quietly become one of the most active dining strips in the region, a thing MONTCO.Today has been pointing out for a while. Totaro coming back is a small but very real piece of that. A neighborhood restaurant takes a hit, rebuilds, and reopens. That is the version of small-town economics that actually works.

Meanwhile, Angelo's Pizzeria continues its push to preserve Conshohocken's bread-baking history through its wholesale arm, another nod to the fact that the food scene here has real roots, not just a hot opening every few months.

The long-awaited public hearing on the second Cleveland-Cliffs data center proposal in Plymouth Township was set for Thursday night, with organized opposition urging residents to show up, according to Plymouth-Whitemarsh Patch.

Why should a Conshy family care about a hearing one township over? Because data centers bring noise, traffic patterns, and electricity demand that do not respect borough lines. The folks campaigning against the project have framed it as a cross-aisle issue, which around here is rarer than a free parking spot on Fayette.

If you missed the meeting, the discussion is not going anywhere. This is the kind of land-use fight that tends to come back for a sequel.

Mark the calendar. The Conshohocken fireworks display is scheduled for July 3, per a notice circulated by the Colonial School District. Patch has also put together a broader guide to fireworks, parades, and America 250 celebrations in and around the borough, available on the Plymouth-Whitemarsh Patch.

If you would rather skip the crowds, Elmwood Park Zoo in Norristown is offering free admission to all guests on July 4 from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Strollers, sunscreen, snacks, the whole drill. Details are on the Elmwood Park Zoo site.

One thing to keep an eye on as the holiday approaches. WHYY is reporting that PECO workers have voted to strike on the Fourth of July if no contract agreement is reached. That does not change the fireworks schedule, but it is worth knowing about if you depend on PECO for anything more sensitive than a phone charger.

If your kids are already chanting that they are bored, the William Jeanes Memorial Library has the lowest-cost fix in town. Their summer reading programs run from June 15 through August 9, according to a Colonial School District community announcement.

It is a useful complement to whatever camp or pool plan you have in place, and unlike most things in the modern parenting toolkit, it does not require a six-week sign-up window or a credit card on file.
