Lead Story

Conshohocken Restaurant Week rolls on as Borough Council gathers for a special budget sit-down

· · 1 min read

Good Tuesday morning, Conshy. If your fork is tired, blame Restaurant Week. Conshohocken Restaurant Week, presented by The Courts at Spring Mill Station, runs through Sunday, September 27th, with 16 participating restaurants on both sides of the river. If you have not made a plan yet, you have five more days to fix that. Details are over at MoreThanTheCurve.

On the civic side, Borough Council has a special public meeting scheduled for this evening at 5:30 p.m. The stated purpose is for Council to discuss goals, which is the sort of agenda item that could mean anything from big-picture priorities to line-by-line budget haggling. Either way, it is open to the public if you want to see how the sausage gets planned before it gets made. See the notice on the Borough news page.

Also worth noting for anyone tracking the Borough's long-running facilities question: the Plymouth Township Zoning Hearing Board voted 5-0 on September 21st to grant zoning relief for Conshohocken's proposed new public works facility, which will sit in Plymouth Township. One vote, five yeses, and a project moves forward. That is not always how these things go.

Flocco's marks a century on Fayette Street

·

One hundred years on one street is a stretch of time that starts to feel less like a business milestone and more like a piece of local geology. Flocco's Shoes, Clothes and Formalwear has been anchored on Fayette Street for a full century, and the store is planning a public celebration on Sunday, September 27th to mark the occasion.

Think about the churn of storefronts in any downtown over the last twenty years, let alone the last hundred, and the number gets more impressive the longer you stare at it. Stop in Sunday if you can. Details and the full backstory are on MoreThanTheCurve.

Local News

NAYA opens Thursday at Plymouth Square

·

Add another option to the weeknight dinner rotation. NAYA is set to open on Thursday, September 25th at the Plymouth Square Shopping Center, on the Plymouth Township side of Conshohocken.

Coastal flooding concern regionally, and a heads up on Belvoir Road

·

Two small notes for the commute. First, AccuWeather is flagging several rounds of minor to moderate tidal flooding along the coast over the next few days. Inland, meaning us, the story is much quieter, cool, and mostly uneventful, but if your day trip runs east toward the Shore, plan around the tides.

Second, the Belvoir Road shutdown in Plymouth Township is now underway and is expected to last about eight months. If Belvoir is part of your normal school-run or work route, this is the moment to lock in an alternate. Background from Plymouth-Whitemarsh Patch.
