Week in Review: April 24-30

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. There were two fires this week in Media. A house on Lenni Road was completely destroyed by fire. Luckily, no one was home at the time of the incident but three pet cats sadly died in the fire. A box truck also caught fire in Media Borough and was completely destroyed. The Rose Tree Media School District appointed a new superintendent to start July 1. Military families were honored at a county ceremony. We debuted our new column Mommy Follies where a local mom will give her expertise in parenting. And of course we celebrated William and Kate's Royal Wedding. Check out these stories below and more to get a full recap of all the week's news.
