• Montgomery County food safety inspections found live roaches and unapproved construction (readingeagle.com) — Montgomery County health inspectors recently cited several local eateries, including Towey's Hatboro Tavern and Bleigh Street on York in Hatboro, for issues ranging from sanitizer levels to gaps around doors and sinks. Most violations involve cleanliness, equipment maintenance, and proper food handling, and many were corrected immediately, but residents may want to note which favorite spots are working under follow-up requirements.
   

• Major Bookstore Chain Opening New Eastern Montco Location (patch.com) — Eastern Montgomery County is seeing several business changes, including a new Barnes & Noble in Abington and a spooky-season speakeasy at Montgomery Mall.
