Baseball: Broomall-Newtown scores 10 in the first to roll to take opener
If the Broomall-Newtown 13-year-olds were looking to get off to a fast start in the Mid-Atlantic Regional tournament, they couldn't have hoped for a much better opening salvo than Thursday.
The Broomall-Newtown club jumped all over Prince George County (Md.) with a 10-spot in the first inning, waltzing to a 13-1 win in five innings in the first game of pool play in Atlantic Shore, N.
Softball: Cullen, Dolly, Palmerio team up to lead Murray's to championship
Murray's Bar & Grille cooked up a winning combination Thursday night, blending solid pitching, timely hitting and stellar defense into a 7-5 victory over Dolan's for the Suburban Women's Slow Pitch B Division softball title.
The deciding game of the best-of-3 series turned in Murray's favor thanks to Kelly Ann Cullen's performance in the circle, a two-run double by Eilleen Dolly and an all-around strong game by Jen Palmerio - who went 2-for-2, scored once, drove in a run and flashed some serious leather at second base.

INFORMED RU replied to Tom park's discussion Farmer'sMarket"PSA? Ad for texting and driving I see! Not promoting a fair or flee market, how is that public service. If it's free does anyone know how to approach getting free ad space? I thought the daily rates where out of reach for small non profits."

Hello everyone! I am a new member to this site and this is my first post. I just recently realized it even existed. I am not new to RP, however. I've lived here my entire life. I currently live in the 3rd precinct by the ABC field. I've lived by the lake before that.
My question is in regards to the re-pavement of streets that were torn up to lay new piping. Our streets between Moore's Lake and the ABC field were amongst the first torn up to lay new Aqua pipe over a year ago.…

I'm really impressed with this tool. It's a terrific way to collect information on keeping RP looking sharp and sustaining its great curb appeal. I doubt most communities have such a resource.
Is there a way to see if issues are being dispositioned? I understand that not everything can be fixed immediately.
