Parade Registration Open
|
You can now register online for the 51st annual Souderton Holiday Parade! We already have several groups who have registered since it went live on September 1. Let's see if we can come close to last year's record of 100 units in the parade.  We are proud to announce that Harleysville Savings Bank is our name sponsor for this year's parade. They are opening a new branch office on County Line Road in February and saw this as a great way to let our local community know they are coming. |
Don't Miss this Thursday Night!
|
Last week, Main Street manager, Pam Coleman, and Board member and Souderton Borough Councilman, Jeff Gross, attended a viewing and discussion of a documentary at the WHYY studios in Philadelphia.
The New Metropolis Series includes two half hour films, "A Crack in the Pavement, Rebuilding America's First Suburbs" and "The New Neighbors, How One Town Created a Vibrant, Integrated Suburb." 
The first explained the growth of first suburbs outside the cities and their current challenges with infrastructures. The second followed a community that made racial integration the centerpiece of revitalizing Pennsauken, NJ.
Pam and Jeff had the opportunity to meet the film maker, volunteers from Pennsauken and community leaders from the Philadelphia region and to discuss how these issues affect our communities. The films did a good job of taking complex regional issues and illustrating them in a personal fashion. The discussion afterward were very good.
You have an opportunity to watch these films for yourself on WHYY TV on Thursday, October 8 at 9 pm.
For additional broadcast information, go to www.whyy.org or the www.the new metropolis.com.
We also have a DVD of the films the Main Street office.
