Trivia Question❓

What famous historical figure spent the winter of 1777-1778 at Valley Forge in Montgomery County, PA during the American Revolutionary War?

Answer at the bottom of the newsletter

Sheetz has launched its first Montgomery County location, boldly setting up shop at 454 West Ridge Pike in Limerick, directly across from a longtime Wawa.

 

Opening day was marked by a ribbon cutting, a packed crowd, and free giveaways, as locals arrived early for a taste of Sheetz’s famous menu and festivities.

 

Coffee, soda, and merchandise flowed throughout the day, while customers donated canned goods to Philabundance in the spirit of celebration.

 

Fans of Sheetz traveled long distances, citing nostalgia and menu variety as reasons for their excitement.

 

Wawa loyalists across the street viewed the arrival with some skepticism, noting Sheetz’s western PA roots but acknowledging that heightened competition could benefit everyone.

 

No matter their allegiance, residents agree: the legendary Pennsylvania convenience store rivalry has officially arrived in Montgomery County.

From Page to Screen: My Favorite Book-to-Movie & TV Adaptations

Book Review Editor, Natalia M.

I love a good book-to-movie or TV show adaptation. There’s something special about watching a story you loved on the page come to life on screen. I’ve learned that going in with the mindset that it won’t be 100% like the book makes the experience way more enjoyable.

 

Below are five of my favorite adaptations (plus a bonus pick this week!), along with some upcoming adaptations of books I’ve read and loved—and a few more that are either already out or coming soon that are still on my TBR.

 

My Favorite Book-to-Screen Adaptations:

    1. Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens
    2. Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen
    3. The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold
    4. Pretty Little Liars by Sara Shepard
    5. Along for the Ride by Sarah Dessen
    6. The Housemaid by Freida McFadden

 

Upcoming Adaptations (Books I’ve Read & Loved):

• Reminders of Him by Colleen Hoover

• Verity by Colleen Hoover

 

Adaptations Already Out or Coming Soon (On My TBR):

• His and Hers by Alice Feeney (already out)

• The Bodyguard by Katherine Center (coming soon)

• The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood (coming soon)

• Every Summer After by Carley Fortune (coming soon)

Joke Of The Day

Why did the Montgomery County chicken join a band?

Because it had the best drumsticks!

An 18-year-old was killed and three others were injured early Saturday in a devastating crash following a police pursuit along Route 422 in Montgomery County.

 

Authorities report that the incident began in Limerick Township when state police tried to stop an eastbound Kia over traffic violations.

 

The driver did not stop, leading officers on a high-speed chase into Upper Merion Township.

 

The pursuit ended in tragedy when the Kia collided with a concrete highway barrier.

 

The 18-year-old driver died at the scene, while three male passengers suffered injuries and were rushed to the hospital.

 

Officials are investigating the possibility that the vehicle was stolen. The case is still under active investigation by local authorities.
