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 started off the week with the 10th anniversary of Sept. 11 and covered several county and borough events. See our Media fast-food restaurants were ranked in a Zagat survery and we met Bevan's Own candy maker too. Rose Tree Elementary was awarded the Blue Ribbon School Award. Media Borough Council approved a four-way stop sign and the final development application for a condo building. And we previewed three events that took past this weekend, the Great Media Garage Sale Days, Rock-N-Rock Car Show and Super Sunday. Look for photo galleries on all three events coming soon.
Below is a full list of this week's stories.
