Town Talk: Happy Day Dessert Factory — We all scream for ice cream!

Town Talk: Happy Day Dessert Factory — We all scream for ice cream!

“You scream, I scream, we all scream for ice cream” are the catchy lyrics of the 1925 song entitled “Ice Cream” recorded by Fred Waring and the Pennsylvanians. Many of us (who are older) have chanted that phrase as we waited our turn at the neighborhood ice cream truck or local Dairy Queen. 08/19/2024 09:00 AM

Jonah’s Call Anglican Church moves to Deutschtown

On May 5 Jonah’s Call Anglican Church moved into its new location at 907 Middle St. The move converted Our Lady Queen of Peace Catholic Church to an Anglican Church that traces its “spiritual heritage back through the historic Church of England,” according to the church’s website. “Jonah’s Call” is in reference to the Prophet Jonah, “who was called upon to preach the news of God’s love to a city that needed to hear it,” according to Jonah 3:1-10 in the Bible. 08/14/2024 09:00 AM

District 20 News: Kinkead: It’s time to legalize recreational cannabis

District 20 News: Kinkead: It’s time to legalize recreational cannabis

The War on Drugs has been a complete and utter failure. As addiction and overdose death rates continue to climb every year, it has become abundantly clear that criminalizing a substance does not deter its use and, in many ways, creates more problems than it solves. In 2024, it makes no sense at all to continue arresting people for possessing cannabis, perhaps the least harmful recreational drug. But in 2022, over 12,000 people were arrested in Pennsylvania for cannabis crimes. 07/29/2024 09:00 AM

District 1 News: New resolution authorizes city to contract with plumbers

Hello everyone, At the start of the summer season, my office received numerous calls asking about the status of various water features and drinking fountains within city parks. The City has one plumber who is responsible for preparing the pools, spray parks, drinking fountains, and bathrooms along with addressing any issues that arise in recreation centers, senior centers, and any other cityowned building. One person cannot manage all of these responsibilities and these city services need to be provided for all of our residents. 07/22/2024 09:00 AM
