Today's riddle: How do billboards talk? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Inside the Norristown Firehouse Where Five Saints Distilling Has Made Spirits for 10 Years (vista.today) — Five Saints Distilling continues to transform Norristown's historic Humane Fire Engine Co. No. 1 into a working craft distillery and living firehouse museum, backed by local redevelopment grants. Residents can visit on Saturdays for cocktails, bottle sales, and monthly guided tours that explore the building's history and the distilling process, with easy access from the Norristown Transportation Center.
• Montgomery food safety inspections found medication stored on food prep area, damaged floor tiles (readingeagle.com) — Several Norristown eateries, including Eli's Bakery Café, Empire Family Restaurant, Popeye's, Mama Venezia, El Gordo Bros, Wendy's, Cynthia's Soul Grille, and others, were cited for issues ranging from improper food temperatures to cleaning and licensing problems. Many violations were corrected quickly, but some require follow-up or professional service, so Norristown diners may want to check recent inspection histories for their favorite spots.
• Authorities crush multi-county corrupt organization linked to kidnappings, extortions (delcotimes.com) — Montgomery County prosecutors in Norristown say they've broken up a criminal organization accused of kidnappings, robberies, extortion schemes, and gun trafficking across Montgomery, Delaware, and Philadelphia counties. Several suspects face corrupt organizations, kidnapping, and firearms charges, with investigators alleging the group lured victims online, posed as law enforcement, and used straw-purchased guns to fund luxury travel and purchases.
