All the news that doesn't fit in print. Wednesday, August 5, 2015. A Great Night to be Out Covering National Night Out. There is always some nice sidewalk chalk work at the National Night Out event at Trinity Reformed United Church of Christ at King and North Charlotte streets. Every year, it seems, the celebrations, participation and organization of National Night Out events in Pottstown gets better and better. I had the opportunity to attend three events this year, but this year I changed the order.

All the news that doesn't fit in print. Thursday, July 30, 2015. Changing the Borough's Rental Rules. Photo by Evan Brandt. Say what you want about Pottstown, but the folks who take care of the landscaping around borough hall are doing one hell of a job. This was my view as I walked to the meeting and I have to say it was very pleasant. About a dozen landlords attending a meeting held Wednesday night in Pottstown Borough Hall to brief them about the changes underway in the borough's rental ordinances.

http://evan-brandt.blogspot.com/2015/07/a-resounding-silence.html
All the news that doesn't fit in print. Friday, July 24, 2015. If last night's commissioners meeting is any indication, the taxpayers of Lower Pottsgrove Township don't appear to be all that concerned by the fact that one of their township commissioners has not paid his taxes to the township, or to the school district, or to several other municipalities. At least judging by last night's township commissioners meeting. So much for that. The commissioners were told about a bond re-financing the sewer autho...

Unsealing Initiative demonstrating on the steps of New York's City Hall for adoptee rights legislation in 2013. Hen people ask for something for themselves- rather than others asking for them- they are more likely to get it. Sounds simple, right? I'm thinking about rights for adoptees and natural mothers. Twice recently I have heard the above idea expressed. On.

Birth Mother] First Mother Forum. A place where first/birth/natural/real mothers share news and opinions. And vent. Sunday, June 21, 2015. Fathers: Never too late to find your child. We set aside a day every year for children to honor their fathers. Although the day is co-oped by the likes of Hallmark, Sports Authority, Cabela's, it's still an important rite, enjoyed by families nationwide. Frequently their parents urged them not to marry "before they were ready" and asked- is this the right girl for you?
