There isn't always time to sit down and read the news. So in case you missed any of the week's stories, here's a look at what happened in the greater Media area over the course of the week.
We had our first real snow fall this weekend. Remember to upload your snow photos to Media Patch all winter. You voted for best wings in Media Patch and the Plumstead Inn won. Two men were arrested and charged after they tried to rob a woman in a Granite Run Mall parking lot. We gave you the Top 8 most expensive homes sold in 2011. And we told you about a local photographer who is trying to raise money so musicians can get health insurance.
