Attorney on High St. in Pottstown caught stealing from the Carousel. This is Adam Sager.

Any grocery stores near blue bell have barrel pickles? Haven’t had one since I was a kid and I miss it so much😭

See title.

My boyfriend and I have been together for over 10 years and we recently decided it's time to become legally married.

We aren't interested in having a ceremony or anything like that. We strictly just want to become legally married.

We applied online at the Montgomery County website and filled out all the necessary information.

We paid the fee, the application got approved, and we have an online meeting scheduled for tomorrow at 9AM.

My boyfriend wanted us to do the standard marriage method rather than the self-uniting one because he's worried about it not being legally recognized in other states that aren't familiar with it (I know he's being a bit paranoid).

I scheduled this online meeting two weeks ago and haven't heard anything further regarding instructions for how we are to access this online meeting.

When I log into the website I just see the message:

"Your application was submitted on Aug 2, 2026.

Your credit/debit card authorization has been received and will be charged upon acceptance of your application.

If your application is accepted, you should receive another email with a link to select a time slot for a Microsoft Teams meeting.

You have an appointment scheduled for Aug 18, 2026.

If you have any further questions, please send them to MLSupport@montcopa.org".

Am I going to get instructions and an invite for the meeting tomorrow online a few minutes before the scheduled meeting?

I sent a message to the email address listed above asking for clarification on how we are supposed to access the meeting tomorrow but I probably won't get a response email today.

Can someone give me the run down on what to expect tomorrow morning?

After this meeting happens, what do we have to do next?

Call our district judge to set up a meeting to get the license officiated?

I also saw on the Montgomery county website that it states "A marriage license is valid for 60 days from date it is issued".

So if we can't get an appointment with someone to officiate the marriage license within 60 days, we have to pay for another license?

Montgomery county really doesn't make this process completely clear, that's for sure.

Any help on this whole process would be extremely appreciative!

I hope I'm in the right place. But I (26yo f) recently moved not too far from downtown Ambler along with my partner (27yo m). We honestly love our apartment and living here but I have been feeling a little anxious about making friends and feeling more comfortable in the community. So I'm wondering where should I start? I am open to suggestions but I figured I might as well put this out there just to see.

Yesterday I was kayaking at Upper Schuylkill Valley Park, and there were several people jet skiing. Two boys (probably 16-17ish) rode by me a few times. At one point, a black man rode by on a jet ski. A few minutes later, the two boys stopped within earshot of me.

Boy 1: did you see that n***er on a jet ski?
Boy 2: no, haha
Boy 1: yea, there’s a n***er on a jet ski
Both laugh

Now. I know river activities can attract.. ehem.. certain types of people, but I was absolutely astonished and disturbed to hear this language spoken so freely, especially in this area.

Extra shocking was that one of the boys was either Latino or South Asian. Like, you are not safe in this circle you’ve found yourself in. And in other conversations I overheard, they sounded like dweebs - not like the typical white trash dirtballs I knew in high school/college who would throw slurs around casually.

Obviously they rode away from me in my kayak, so it’s not like I could’ve said anything. But what do you even say to these people?

The fight isn't over but let's protect our homes from this rich prick! Great precedent. He still needs to be shut down in Plymouth Township so let's not let up. No relent!

I'm looking to get into some kind of casual recreational team sport activity. I'm 29 male, not in the greatest of shape which is part of reason I'm looking for something like this. Anyone know of anything? Open to other options besides flag football

>However, O’Neill was concerned that federal limits on air pollution could present a roadblock to his gas-fired power generation plans. Montgomery County is designated by the EPA as a “non-attainment zone”, meaning that concentrations of key air pollutants exceed national air quality standards. This designation sharply reduces the emissions allowed from new sources of pollution, such as power plants.

>O’Neill was focused in particular on the annual cap of 25 tons on emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), airborne chemicals which increase the risk of asthma, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and other illnesses.

>“Is there any flexibility in that 25-ton number?” O’Neill asked Tierney, one of five points he said he wished to discuss with the EPA and PUC.

>O’Neill said that “emissions reduction credits,” a pollution allowance that companies can buy from other companies that have reduced emissions, were not available in the region, “making the 25-ton limitation difficult to achieve.”

>Since utilities were unable to provide the huge amount of power his project needed in “a timely manner,” O’Neill asked Tierney if the EPA could provide waivers to the emissions limits.

>“Are there strategies the EPA is working on, similar to what they have done with coal-firing plants, to reduce these limits?” O’Neill asked. “Can we implement a strategy in partnership with the EPA?”

Drive through Cheltenham for the first time in forever yesterday. I was struck by how similar it was to Upper Darby: the western edge reminds me of Drexel Hill, in the eastern bordering Philadelphia reminded me of the area is close to 69th St. Does anyone else feel they are similar in character?

"Pinnacle’s latest proposal calls for 210 homes. That includes 50 carriage homes, 87 small-lot single-family houses and 73 large-lot single-family houses. Small lots will run about 7,700 square feet. Large lots will measure roughly 14,000 square feet.

Prices are expected to start in the mid-$800,000s for carriage homes. Small-lot homes will start in the mid-$900,000s. Large-lot homes will start around $1.5 million."

Kinda crazy that 0.33 acres or 14,000 sq. ft is not only considered a "large lot" but is estimated to START AT $1.5M. I hope that includes some serious builder incentives to go along with it (e.g., interest rate buydowns or free builder upgrades).

I was at the mall yesterday for about an hour and saw 3 pet dogs, including 1 off leash with bad recall. Wtf is wrong with people

Hey all-need therapist recs in the area. I’m in East Norriton but willing to drive max 30 mins.

Doctor referred me to CM counsel but they have sub par reviews, so want to avoid if possible.

We've heard good things about Eataly in KoP so we were eager to try it. It's always busy with a long wait, and this past winter my wife brought two kids there for dinner. That time the two kids were fine afterwards but my wife immediately suffered what I'll just call intestinal distress. She wrote it off as a stomach bug not related to Eataly since the two kids were fine. Last night we went back and all but one of us got sick afterwards; two almost immediately and another two about 60-90 minutes later, and for those two the onset was fast and violent.

Anyone else eat there and get sick? I'm having a tough time convincing myself that it's coincidence with the timing, but it's sort of hard to scientifically say anything with certainty.

FWIW, the fettuccini alfredo prepared in the cheese wheel tableside was really good (and that's the dish that the one who didn't get sick ate), but the others were really salty and OK at best (regarding taste, not food safety ;)
