Jogger Causes Lockdown at School in Franconia

Students told faculty they had seen an armed man in a ski mask.

A man who was out jogging is believed to have been the cause of a lockdown at West Broad Street Elementary School in Franconia on Thursday afternoon, police said. The school was placed on lockdown at about 1:40 p.m. after three fourth-grade students on the school's playground reported seeing a man in a black sweater and black-hooded mask with a gun along a nearby tree line.

Souderton Playground Renovations Calling Community Together

A group of volunteers are in the midst of raising funds for a renovation to Chestnut Street Playground in Souderton Borough

The slide is rickety and sort of sketchy, and its metal gets hot in the sun.  Youth in the area still love to use the platform of the slide as a pretend fort. You can ride the springy duck or horse, but chances are, they are broken. Lunch at one of the tables is nice, if you don't mind the graffiti. And relaxing in the gazebo can be placid - and you can get some nice sun from a busted out section from the wooden roof. The Chestnut Street Playground, also known as the Wile Avenue Playground, at Wile Avenue and West Chestnut Street in Souderton is considered a hidden treasure in the borough. Located across the street from Emmanuel Lutheran Church and Souderton Mennonite Church, it is a popular gathering place for Souderton youth and the …
