Conshohocken voters will see a home rule charter on the ballot in the Nov. 3 general election, according to MoreThanTheCurve. The outlet published a long explainer and labeled it opinion, since it takes a side. Well, yes, a charter is not light reading, but it is worth knowing what you are voting on. Patch lists the official state tools for finding your polling place and checking your registration.
Police are investigating burglaries of multiple storage units at the Public Storage facility off Chemical Road in Plymouth Meeting, 6abc reported. One customer says thieves took nearly $1,000 worth of items, including a dishwasher, from his family's unit. The reports we saw did not say how many units were hit or whether anyone has been arrested. If you keep things in a unit there, a quick visit seems reasonable. I guess a dishwasher is a bold thing to carry out.
6abc's The Dish recently visited Aroma on Ford, a new Italian spot in West Conshohocken. Reporter Alicia Vitarelli spoke with two chefs, and the featured plate was the malfaldine bolognese, which 6abc called authentic, rich, creamy and meaty. Details were first noted by MoreThanTheCurve. Now my biases are obvious, but a pasta review is a pleasant break from the ballot.
An opinion piece on MoreThanTheCurve says the Borough of Conshohocken is preparing to spend approximately $20 million on a new public safety building. The writer argues the borough should suspend its union-friendly RCO as it builds the emergency services facility. That is the author's position, not a borough decision, and the material we have does not show a borough response. It is still a big number worth keeping an eye on.
