Lead Story

National Guard water rescue drill over Conshohocken scrubbed by weather

· · 1 min read

Well, that was a short-lived spectacle. Anyone who cleared their Wednesday morning to point at a low-flying helicopter over the Schuylkill is going to need a new hobby. The National Guard water emergency exercise that had been planned for September 2nd in Conshohocken is canceled, according to MoreThanTheCurve. The reason is not local weather but conditions at the helicopter's home base.

These drills are the boring-in-a-good-way part of emergency preparedness. They practice for the day nobody wants, over the river most of us cross twice daily. The Guard has not announced a rescheduled date in the material we have, so consider this a rain check rather than a cancellation with prejudice.

If you have ever wondered why a Conshohocken sandwich hits different, this is a piece of the answer. Grab a loaf, then explain to the kids that yes, bread used to come from a place you could walk to.

Local Trivia

Even Cecily Tynan had to learn how to say Conshohocken

·

Small victory for anyone who has spent years correcting out-of-town relatives. In her final appearance on 6ABC Action News, retiring meteorologist Cecily Tynan mentioned that learning to pronounce Conshohocken was part of her Philadelphia initiation. Thirty years at the station, and our five-syllable town got a farewell shoutout.
