Week In Review: Jan. 29-Feb. 4

Did you miss any of this week's news?

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. We told you about a Middletown widow who faces charges along with her son in the killing death of her husband in 2008. We also gave you an update on the opening date for Spasso Italian Grill and introduced you to Desert Rose, a Mediterranean restaurant also coming soon to Media.
