This week we'll head to a strip mall in Limerick and ask your opinion on what new and exciting business you'd like to see in our area. Familiarize yourself with Ridge Pike in Limerick. Do you know where Dunkin Donuts is? How about Franklin's? Make that right onto Kugler Road and see the shopping center behind it. That is where this week's empty storefront rests. This is the old "Time 2 Party" location. The shop sits between Bravo Pizza and Blinds 48. Looking inside the windows of the shop, I saw a big empty space with a colorful floor. You know what that means? A lot of potential for any kind of store. You can literally put anything in here - the sky is the limit. So let your imagination run wild, folks! I was thinking this might be a good…

Three faults were documented when the Limerick nuclear plant was planned over 30 years ago.
Local residents last month questioned whether the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission knew of local faults when the Limerick Generating Station was planned for construction. "The short answer is, 'yes,'" said Diane Screnci, NRC senior public affairs officer. Folks at a meeting in Limerick Township last month showed NRC officials a document which referred to "the Sanatoga fault" and asked whether the NRC was aware of its proximity to the Limerick site prior to initial licensing. The NRC hosted the meeting -- which included workers from the commission and Exelon -- to discuss with the public an annual safety performance assessment of Exelon's Limerick nuclear power plant. At that time, members of The Alliance For A Clean Environment …

Last week, we fielded your thoughts on the old Acme location on Ridge Pike. Many people saw the need for a Trader Joe's, but we also heard a few requests for Shop Rite and even a Dave and Busters! This week, we're staying on Ridge Pike and taking a look at the old Rite Aid location on the corner of N. Lewis Road and Ridge. See the above photo to refresh your memory. The store has sat vacant for quite some time, and in my personal opinion, it's pretty good real estate. Looking at the surrounding area, across the road, you'll see Kelly's WorldClass Automotive and Hillbilly BBQ. Perpendicular, we have Rascal's Fitness, Piazza Presto, and a Chinese takeout. So, what makes the most sense over here? Does a restaurant make sense? It will provide …

When we redid the wallpaper and stained glass and bar top and things like that, we also wanted to create something local. So we did the …
