To say that politics is not my cup of tea is putting it mildly. It is a topic of conversation that I often stray from, as I tend to keep those opinions to myself. I struggle with the “small fish in a big sea” feeling when it comes to national […]

Election season is upon us and this year, without the shadow of a national election, we have the luxury of being able to focus on our local elections. For the first time in twelve years, Ambler will have a new mayor. There are five council seats up for election, as […]

The need for fresh food is not a new topic in town, and frankly, neither is a Farmer’s Market. You may remember some discussion about an Ambler Farmer’s Market back in 2010, unfortunately things got derailed. Two years later the market concept is alive and well, as there is a […]
