It’s starting to look a little like spring, isn’t it? The sunshine is melting away the last of our snow here and (today at least!) you could probably even get away with going outside without a jacket.
Speaking of jackets, you’ll see the new cover of our March issue around town this week. The issue focuses largely on local nonprofits that are making a difference in our region.
On the daily news front, we’ve been covering stories around Harrisburg all week online, too. See below for the latest headlines, which include updates on what will happen to William Penn, City Council’s latest ICE-related legislation and the story of the Broad Street Market’s new fried chicken vendor.
