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 gave you a spotlight on the new restaurant coming to 1 W. State Street. A Media ballerina signed a contract with a professional ballet company and the next Delco Idol winner was announced. About 75 residents attended a meeting regarding the 3rd Street bridge/dam redesign. And we reviewed the restaurant Dos Gringos this week.
