Today's riddle: What do evil hens lay? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Vaccination Rates At Norristown Area High School: See Newly Revealed Data (patch.com) — Families in Norristown can now see detailed vaccination rates for Norristown Area High School and its Roosevelt campus, thanks to newly released state health data. The figures show very high coverage for key childhood vaccines, alongside a small percentage of noncompliant students, giving local parents clearer insight into community protection levels as officials push back against misinformation.
• Why Does Montco Look Like That? (montco.today) — Norristown gets singled out here as Montgomery County's almost-city, explained as a home‑rule borough in a county that technically has no incorporated cities. The piece walks you through why places like Norristown, Pottstown, Narberth, and King of Prussia are classified so differently, and how those invisible lines still determine your taxes, services, and who actually governs your block.
• DNA allegedly links wanted man to Upper Gwynedd burglary (timesherald.com) — A Norristown resident has been charged after police say DNA testing linked him to tools and items found in a fire-damaged Upper Gwynedd home that was stripped of wiring and copper pipes. Investigators allege his DNA matched samples from a hatchet, lighters, lantern, and water bottle, with damage estimated at several thousand dollars; he remains presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
