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.
