We survived the end of summer pool party. It was a great day all around, but I was most impressed with the manners of all 20 kids.
Every single one of them came to say a nice thank you before they left. Sometimes you worry if we’re raising the next gen right…the answer is, we are.
Now if only they had also taken pizza to go instead of leaving us with 6 whole pies 😒
Anyway, here’s some good news around our suburb.
Kids will still argue the call
Youth leagues are spending the fall giving local fields the high-end treatment. Laser-leveled dirt, actual drainage and grass thick enough to survive a stampede of eight year olds.
The fields will look like pro venues, though the players will still use 100% of their energy to debate calls that were five inches off the plate.
Not another townhouse invasion
Pennsylvania dropped some cash to buy the development rights for two farms in Plumstead (20 acres) and Bedminster (18 acres).
That’s 38 acres officially saved from becoming a 400 unit vinyl siding jungle. Oh and the farmland stays land forever, no matter who owns the deed.
Playground for sore muscles
This fall Petroski Physio is moving into a massive 13,000 square foot recovery joint in Bensalem.
It’s packed with physical therapy setups, force-plate tech (whatever that is), cold plunges and saunas. Basically, a shiny new temple dedicated entirely to making your rec-league injuries hurt slightly less.
Enjoy the 70 something weather in August. I’ll be back Thursday with the weekend goods.
And let me know your end of summer traditions (our is Hersheypark, where we’re at today!).
May you remember you’re doing (or did) a good job parenting,
