I’d like to know why they can find all kinds of grant money to give to boroughs and townships for these walking trails. Look what Royersford is getting to extend their trail. But they can’t find any money to fix the Keim Street bridge which takes thousands of people a day across the river. Those walking trails maybe accommodate a couple hundred people a day. So let’s replace that bridge and let the people have a shortcut to town. Many people will use that compared to the trail.
I’d like to give a big shout-out to the guy that’s been picking up trash at South Street Park on weekends. The park looks beautiful when you’re done. With four or five trash cans to pick from it’s a shame people are that lazy that they can’t throw their trash in them instead of on the ground.
I want to thank the person who called in about the development in Limerick Township. I’ve been here over 50 years and I used to know the people around me. I don’t know anybody anymore. What is happening? I love Limerick but it’s getting too much development. Please listen to us.
It’s seems that a lot of money is being spent to fix sidewalks and put in places for people with coaches and strollers and walkers that they can cross easily but still certain people just cross in the middle of the street. Saw a lady at CVS push her baby right across the middle of the highway stopping traffic. I can’t figure it out, maybe you can.
For Info Depot, you are truly misleading. The “pigeons” did not say they were coming with 80 people, they were not coming with 80. You were totally misinformed. Fact
Three thousand people have been killed in Chicago, murdered this year. Trump said when he was running for president he was going to take care of this the first month he was in office. Lot of talk.
The Trump administration is running a concentration camp in Brownsville, Texas, where children are being separated from their parents. Sen. Jeff Merkley from Oregon went there to investigate and was denied entry. This is something that should be made public. What are they doing to these children?
Regarding the Upper Providence Township administration building, progress is being made closer to completion. A one-stop for all residents and business transactions was stated in the fall/winter 2017 newsletter. That will eliminate going from one building to another. Having all departments in one location will be a great improvement.
The drug use that goes on here in Pottstown in certain areas, we know which ones they are, it’s just out of control. We don’t have enough police to take care of it. What we need is someone patrolling the streets at night. It would be nice actually to have the National Guard come in to put men out. That would be great. Do that for about a year and I think we might be able to get this place cleaned up a little bit.
I heard that there’s a movement in Canada to build a wall along the U.S. Canadian border. They want to protect themselves from President Trump. They want the U.S. to pay for the wall.
Info Depot, if you have been a lifelong Eagles fan there’s no way you’re not going to watch them. If those players decided not to go to the White House that is their prerogative. Who really cares? Also no one has to stand for the flag if they don’t want to. Just maybe if you don’t pay so much attention to them they will stop. It’s their First Amendment right. Does anyone stand in their home when the anthem is playing? No. DP
How twisted are the liberal left? Lehrer’s comment hoping for a recession shows how much the elite really care about most Americans. To carry such hatred destroys the one who carries it. It is a bad spirit covering America. There are winners and losers in every election but to not come to terms this long after is unprecedented. Keep praying America. Lady Di
We see and read about the wonderful accomplishments of our school athletes, choruses and bands. Some of us also get to see the eighth-grade project at Boyertown Middle School West. Every classmate is teamed with about eight others and prepare a project during which they speak to us about the master plan to improve our community. This project is very instrumental in developing self esteem and cooperation and should be viewed by all parents and the public. It is wonderful. Jim Tribbett
I’m always amazed how some people go through life with a huge amount of debt. They deserve a lot of credit.
