Jenkintown Borough Council Meeting, January 23, 2017
I think we made a little history here. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time anyone has live-streamed a council meeting. This video is a cleaned-up version of the live-stream and resides on YouTube. As this was a first-time attempt, we look forward to improving the quality of the video (if not our own Council). If you’d like to help in this effort, please get in touch.
This could be Old York Road, Jenkintown
This video comes from our new friends at Strongtowns.org, an organization that we recommend for everyone in Jenkintown and in Jenkintown Borough Hall.
Jenkintown Centennial Parade 1974
For anyone too young to remember Old York Road when it served as an actual, pleasantly walkable main street, we offer this video taken by Louise’s mom, Claire Eccarius. When Jenkintown celebrated its centennial in 1974, they closed off Old York Road and held a parade!
Louise’s father appears at the tail end of the video, but long-time Jenkintonians will likely recognize some of the more prominent figures of the time, probably a few responsible for the selling off of the parking spaces.
NBC10 shines a light on our sidewalks
It’s short and sweet, and barely scratches the surface of the real issues, but the region now has an inkling about what’s happening in our little Borough.
