On Saturday Dec. 28th a friend and I went to The Ardmore Music Hall to see The Districts and The Felice Brothers. We choose the VIP tickets which entitle us to early admission and a buffet meal. This was a smart choice. The meal was very good and plentiful, consisting of ribs, chicken, garlic roasted potatoes and veggies. You also get a shot at a good seat instead of standing. For $35.00 we got 3 hours of fine live music and a nice meal, a good deal!

As he left court after a ruling overturned his 3 to 6 year conviction, a handful of hecklers pelted him with taunts and insults. Lynn will remain out on bail, living on house arrest and must wear an electronic monitoring device. Monsignor Lynn was warned that a violation of any bail terms will lead to re-arrest and jail. And Judge Teresa Sarmina told Lynn she had already signed an arrest warrant in advance.Read More |
