Borough Websites
The image was from my trip to Rochester, NY and has nothing to do with the following list. Pennsylvania Borough Website links Below is a list of websites for Boroughs in Pennsylvania. You can use CMD-F to search for a site or randomly select one. I made this to help me explore borough websites and […]
Jenkintown Maps, and I’m on the ballot for Borough Council
So much is happening at the moment. Today I’ve been looking for a job where I can innovate and collaborate, meeting for coffee with Jim Pinheiro to review a map proof, putting together a presentation for the fall Pennsylvania Greenways conference, helping WikiMapping clients make their sites multi-lingual, working on maps for a history book […]
A dying bee in my backyard
I was sitting in my backyard watching this bee, wondering why it was just clinging to the outdoor furniture. I noticed the curled wings. Later it died and fell to the ground.I’m wondering if this is because of Varroa mites, which I was learning about at this website:https://www.honeybeesuite.com/
A night walk in Jenkintown
Ten miles north of City Hall in Philadelphia, and just a 50 minute bike ride or a 25 minute train ride, you’ll find Jenkintown. A walk at each time of day offers a different kind of beauty. The other night I took some photos, mostly along York Road. You’ll see the places like Wells Fargo […]

Bike Ride from Jenkintown to Cape May

Municipal bike plans for Montgomery County
Now that Montgomery County has a bike plan, it is up to municipalities in the county to create their own. It’s true that bike plans can be expensive, but they don’t need to cost anything. This morning I was looking at maps that showed a landscape to serve a different demographic in Cheltenham. When I […]
