If you have ever wondered why Fayette Street smells the way it does at certain hours, part of the answer lives inside Angelo's Pizzeria. A recent MONTCO.Today feature traces how Angelo's is carrying forward Conshohocken's bread-baking legacy, a legacy that used to belong to a whole cluster of neighborhood ovens.

Bread history is one of those hyperlocal threads that sounds small until you pull it. A century ago the borough was a mill town with bakeries stitched into the blocks between the row homes. Most of them are gone. Angelo's, running a pizzeria and a wholesale bread operation, is a rare survivor of that lineage. Worth mentioning to the kids next time you are in line for a slice.

The proposed data center at 900 Conshohocken Road has been drawing crowds, and apparently the crowds have been drowning out the microphones. Plymouth Township announced on August 17 that future zoning hearings on the project will move back to the township building, citing the impact of crowd noise on capturing a correct public record. Details are on MoreThanTheCurve.

The subtext, of course, is that public records exist for a reason and it is hard to preserve one if half the audience is shouting. For families following the story because they live near the site or care about the traffic and utility impacts, the venue change matters. A smaller room tends to mean smaller crowds, which tends to mean quieter meetings, which is either a good thing for the transcript or a bad thing for public turnout depending on where you sit.

Whitemarsh, meanwhile, is on its own track. The board of supervisors voted on August 13 to advertise a proposed data center ordinance, with a hearing set for September 10.

ZeroEyes, the Conshohocken-based AI firm that focuses on weapons detection, has named a new chief operating officer and continues to push toward its plan of adding 100-plus veteran jobs, per MONTCO.Today. The company was founded by former Navy SEALs, and its hiring pipeline leans heavily on the veteran community.

For a borough that has watched a few office towers change hands at discount prices, a homegrown company staffing up locally is a welcome counterweight. If you know a veteran in the job market, this one is worth passing along.
