Sinking Roads, Billboard Blues, Stolen Gold Top Local News

Palmer Township battles sinkholes and billboards, thieves tried to swipe gold chains and cologne and Larry Holmes' home goes on the market was all in the week that was.

First there was a report of a water main break. Then that turned into two sinkholes. And those sinkholes shut a key Palmer Township road.

While Palmer Township officials fought what they deem as an illegal digital billboard, work crews were trying to fill the sinkholes on Northwood Avenue. Meanwhile, over at the Palmer Park Mall, thieves were trying to swipe gold chains and some cologne.

And while Palmer provided some good news that work on its bike path is progressing, two former officials of a township company pleaded guilty to defrauding schools. If that wasn't enough, Palmer Township's celebrity, boxing legend Larry Holmes, has put up his house for sale.
