No pedestrian crossing at W Ridley and Chester Pike?

Does anyone know why someone, I assume Penndot, wiped out the pedestrian crosswalk that used to go across W Ridley at Chester Pike? They also put signs for "No pedestrian crossing" the ones that have…Continue
Does Aqua give notice?

There are sections of Ridley Park that have been worked on by Aqua, replacing water pipes (I assume). I'd like to know how Aqua handled notifying residents that their section of street would be dug…Continue

Not sure if this is the right way to do this, but I have a request. Is it possible for people to put captions on their pictures? There are a ton of pictures displayed on this site, but no way to know…Continue

Linda Shockley commented on Paula's blog post Wawa now Open!!!"Usually when a Wawa that has a gas station opens near an already-existing Wawa that doesn't have gas, the old Wawa is sold. From what I've seen a new store (maybe a franchise?) called Food Mart takes over. Wonder if that will happen here."

Linda Shockley commented on RidleyParkOnline's blog post Election Day Photo ID Requirement"Lindsay,
I don't know why you would have had to produce ID every time you vote. Before this new law, you only had to produce it the first time you voted. Maybe you always changed party affiliation or address between elections?"

missing cat
Posted on September 5, 2011 at 4:00pm 14 Comments 0 Likes
I hope it's OK to post this here. I was taking care of a cat that's been living where I work. I took him home this weekend for safekeeping b/c the place I work was getting its driveways repaved so I thought he'd be safer at my house. I was keeping him on my enclosed front porch. Overnight, he bashed out the screen in my door and got away. I am heart… Continue
lights went out again on West Ridley!
Posted on September 1, 2011 at 7:50pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
How many of us groaned and said "Not again!" when the electricity went out at around 5:50 this evening? Came back 20 minutes later, which was just long enough for all 85 (according to PECO) households to start getting nervous!
Ridley Park's Police Chief on youth curfews

Police Chief Tom Byrnes is quoted quite extensively in the Daily Times today. The article shows Ridley Park in a good light, too, with few problems from kids being out after curfew. I just wonder if a 10:30 curfew during the week is too late, I'd like to see it being…

Someone asked me if my brother Bill Zane would be bringing his Studebaker to the car show. Can anyone send me the info so I can forward it to him? He has made a note of the event in his calendar, so he will be here if he gets registered. Thanks.

The message threads seem to be missing me. My "Louisiana-Style Pulled Pork Bar-B-Que" will stand up to anyone else. My experience has been that in competitions like this, there are no losers, just different tastes! The tasters are the winners.
I was raised in Indiana, but my paternal grandparents were pioneers in Louisiana (circa 1910). They lived near Laranger, LA. My Grandfather bought a .22 rifle to shoot the alligators who liked to crawl up under the house. This pleased my Grandmother who gave birth to my Dad in 1913. Somewhere I have a picture of him on the family mule. Grandfather put his "fortune" into a huge crop of green beans which were picked, packed and loaded onto a boxcar headed for Chicago and the markets there. Refrigeration didn't exist yet, so the entire crop ( and those of the other farmers) were packed with ice , an expensive commodity in the South at the time. Long story/short..the train was sidetracked en route, the ice melted, the vegetables rotted into worthless glops.
They moved back to Indiana, but not the entire family. I retained many wonderful cousins, aunts and uncles in the South: mainly in McComb and Magnolia, Mississippi. I once traveled to Laranger and saw the family's home in town. The culinary heritage transcended the physical homes, farms and geography. My pulled pork rules in my neighborhood. Bring it on! :)
