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. The third public hearing regarding the Franklin Mint development was held Thursday and the developer said they will revise the proposed plan for the property. We recapped the Bark for Life charity event in both a news story and as our weekly Viewfinder feature. There were a lot of cute and talented dogs at the event. We did a story on high school coach surveys and talked about which schools use them in the area and how, following some controversial coach firings in the Haverford School District. Check out the photo gallery of the Media Easter Egg Hunt in Glen Providence Park Saturday. Everyone had a blast despite the messy weather. Check out these stories below and more to get a full recap of all the week's news.
