The Philadelphia Phillies are the talk of the town

Seems there are a number of Philadelphia Phillies fans on the Purple Page. The Phillies clinched the National League title last night by defeating the Dodgers.

They will now have to face either the Tampa Bay Rays or the Boston Red Sox. Tampa currently leads the series 3-1.

This will be Philadelphia's first World Series appearance since 1993 when they faced the Toronto Blue Jays. Remember that one? That is when Mitch "Wild Thing" Williams threw the pitch that was homered by Joe Carter and the Blue Jays won the World Series.

No deal for new Schuylkill County Children and Youth Building

No deal for new Schuylkill County Children and Youth Building

The deal for relocating the offices of the Schuylkill County Children and Youth to 500 N.Centre Street in Pottsville fell through.

The major reasons being the lack of parking and also the needed renovations for the building. Had the deal gone through, a $500,000 grant would have been provided for renovations to the new building.

For now, the office will continue looking at other properties.
