Ex-mayor’s town: John Fetterman, Pa.’s lieutenant governor and Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate, was mayor of Braddock in western Pa. Today, he still has plenty of supporters – and critics – there.
Winter is coming: How much snow can central Pa. expect from the coming winter? Well, things that are making that hard to determine include a “triple dip La Nina” and the eruption of an underwater volcano, Accuweather says.
Ballot questions: Key questions on Pa.’s mail ballots remain unsettled. That could bring more legal action and public confusion to another election season.
Farmhouse’s future: Upper Allen Township did not receive any viable bids on a pitch to sell and relocate an historic farmhouse. The structure could be torn down as a park is put up around it.
Paranormal Pa.
Back to ghoul: Ghost stories can be found across Pa. campuses: Penn State students hear a murdered woman. Chatham U. may be visited by Andrew Mellon. People at Drexel see unexplained shadows and hear strange noises.
‘Amityville Horror’ in Pa.: A Pittston family said dark forces tortured them in their home for more than 18 months. Not everyone believed them, though.
Food & drink
Adulting at McD’s: McDonald’s is trying to recapture the unbridled childhood joy of getting a Happy Meal by offering Happy Meals for adults. Here’s what they’re like.
Labels lead to waste: Unlike “use by” labels, which are found on perishable foods, “best before” labels have nothing to do with safety and may encourage consumers to throw away food that’s perfectly fine to eat.
New owner: An established Harrisburg restaurant owner is taking over The Midtown Tavern. Adam Sturgis confirmed he’s in the process of buying the beloved neighborhood bar on North Second Street.
Restaurant coming down: The former Country Cupboard Restaurant and Gift Shops has been closed since February, after 50 years of serving customers. Starting next week, it will disappear for good as the new owner begins demolition.
Sports
Star watches history: Dallas Cowboy and Harrisburg native Micah Parsons watched in person as New York Yankees’ Aaron Judge hit his record-setting 62nd home run of the season Tuesday. Judge signed Parsons’ ticket. A well-off fan caught the ball.
Trying harder: Penn State lost four fumbles in its 17-7 surprisingly close win over Northwestern. Coach James Franklin said work on ball security is a constant mission.
