Lead Story

Fun Fest Draws a Crowd, and a Candidate for Governor

· · 1 min read

Saturday's Fun Fest packed the streets, and among the sea of strollers and funnel cake dust was Stacy Garrity, the Republican candidate for Pennsylvania governor. She used the stop to talk about data centers, which is not exactly the topic you expect to bump into between the bounce house and the beer tent, but here we are. The gubernatorial race has officially found Fayette Street.

Data centers, incidentally, are having a moment locally. Just a few days earlier, neighboring Plymouth Township had to cancel a zoning hearing tied to a data center proposal after the township failed to post the meeting agenda to its website 24 hours in advance, as the Sunshine Act requires. MoreThanTheCurve reported the missing agenda, and the township pulled the plug on the hearing rather than push forward and invite a legal headache.

So if it felt like data centers were suddenly the topic of conversation in every corner of the county over the weekend, that is because they were. Read the Fun Fest coverage at MoreThanTheCurve and the Plymouth Township hearing story here.

Conshy Band Mid Sentence Wins Local Noise Philadelphia

Nice thing to wake up to on a Monday. Conshohocken-based band Mid Sentence took the top spot in Local Noise Philadelphia, the battle of the bands featured by 6ABC Action News over the weekend. The prize is not just bragging rights around town, but an opening slot at Freedom Mortgage Pavilion, which is a legitimate step up from playing to your friends and one bemused bartender.

Belvoir Road Closure and a Cooler Week Ahead

·

Two things to file away this morning. First, the Belvoir Road shutdown in Plymouth Township is underway and, per Patch, is expected to run for roughly eight months. Residents were vocal about traffic impacts as schools reopened. If you use Belvoir on your morning route, now is a good time to test that detour before it becomes a permanent part of your routine.

Second, AccuWeather is calling for a cooler, breezy, and at times unsettled week across the Philadelphia region, with temperatures running below average. Light jacket weather has arrived a bit ahead of schedule. Forecast details from 6ABC.
