Golden Girls tea & puppy ice cream?! Wednesday was wild 🍵🐾
Good morning, Delaware County. What was supposed to be a festive Fourth of July ended on a grim note right here at home — a fireworks celebration turned violent when two teenage brothers were arrested after a man was left in critical condition in a local parking lot. It's a sobering reminder that community safety depends on all of us, and in this case, alert bystanders made all the difference. Beyond the local headlines, stamp prices are going up July 12th, Blue Origin is chasing a $130 billion valuation, and there's plenty more worth a read today.
On a warmer note, Wednesday's calendar is surprisingly charming — NAMI Connection, Family Storytime, and a Golden Girls Afternoon Tea are all happening around the county. Fresh real estate listings are also live if you're browsing.
