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 told you about an Edgmont car dealership that donated a minivan to a wounded Marine. We asked you what you think about a possible Super Wawa coming to Media Borough and most of you liked the idea.
