‘Why the Hurry?’
Dozens of residents packed the Hummelstown Borough Council’s meeting room Aug. 18 to support Maritza DeJesus in her continued operation of a beloved hair-cutting business at 33 N. Hanover St. Prior to regular business, council held a conditional use hearing for a request to demolish that building by applicant Talisman 7 Ventures LLC. Although Talisman has purchased the property, pending […]
A Victoria’s Secret

No Checks Please
Over the past five years, I’ve written only two checks. I actually don’t even have checks, but if I’m forced to produce paper to pay for something, I get a money order from the Post Office. In an era of auto-renew, Apple Pay, PayPal and Venmo, it just doesn’t make much sense anymore to give someone a piece of paper […]
