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.
Patch's own RV, the Patchfinder, rolled through Media this week. We handed out T-shirts and Patch gear to folks who braved the rain and came out to say hello. The Middletown Township Council approved an ordinance that was the first of several steps for the Franklin Mint property. We gave you an update on the opening of Diego's Cantina and Tequila Bar. Nativity BVM officials set things straight with Patch after the Delaware County Daily Times reported inaccurate information about the school's position on the Blue Ribbon Commission appeals.
Below is a full list of this week's stories.
