Well, this one was a really long time in the making. We were ready to cut over to the new site for the Borough about a month ago, but one little slip of the finger caused 2 months of lost work. Ah, technology. Thank god for backups, even if they are old. So, I was able to recover most of the work that was completed and we have today cut over to the new Conshohocken Borough web site.
So, beat it up, check it out and comment here if you have any problems, errors or complaints. I’m not saying I’m going to fix them, but I’m listening.
Special thanks to Councilman Jason Salus, Councilman Paul McConnell, resident Spencer Lewis, Borough Manager Fran Marabella, Public Works Supervisor Harvey Buek and Borough Secretary Tiffany Griffith for all the hard work and input.

Just a reminder to everyone looking forward to the annual Conshohocken fireworks display…they are on!
Fund raising efforts were successful and the display is back on.
They will be held Friday, July 3, beginning at 5:00 PM and lasting until 9:30 PM at Sutcliffe Park.
On a side note, according to Consumerist.com, Conshohocken is not the only town struggling to pay for fireworks. Not a big surprise.

I’m traveling for work in Dallas, Texas this week. I have a bit of downtime as the project work slows down and I have taken the opportunity to drive around and get a bit lost in the corners of the\is fairly large city. Some observations…
- The Philadelphia area economy is not bad. Not by a long shot. I had to take a trip to the ‘Burbs of Dallas to locate a Fry’s Electronics. (think combination Best Buy, MicroCenter and RadioShack – on steroids) The shear number of empty storefronts, car dealerships and restaurants was incredible. I’m talking blocks and blocks of emptiness. This, on top of the quantity of pawn shops, title loan stores and check cashing outlets remind me that even in the worse economy, someone is able to profit.
- I have not seen a large number of for-sale signs. I have not yet ventured into the more residential areas, but I will. I’m not sure if there are not a large number of homes for sale, the homes have already been foreclosed on, or what. But, I have not seen many.
- The weather here sucks. There have been tornado warning every day I have been here. I hardly slept on Wednesday night because the thunder and lighting kept me up.
- There seems to be an overabundance of chain stores here. There are very few what I would call mom and pop places. There is also no small town or walkable areas. One of my favorite things about Conshohocken is the ability to walk to just about anything I need.
I’m looking forward to heading home. I miss my Conshy.
