So a few days ago I created a new page for residents of Upper Merion Twp who are frustrated with certain things going on in our community. It’s called #UpperMerionTwpCitizenTaskForce aka @UMTwpCTF which is a new Facebook page and will be on Twitter under the handle @UMTwpCitizen. Anyhow there are a plethora of things happening in my home community in which I’ve been very frustrated. Political situations and Economic situations. A lot of the things I sporadically come across in our community groups tend to frustrate me. I’ve actually been more less dressed down by an admin from Upper Merion Supports It’s Community when I challenged the subject of a post. Another member made a post where he inquired to the public what their opinions were of an educator. Excuse me but that’s not something that you go public with. Request a private meeting with said educator. Anyhow, the admin of the group basically defend the member then turned off comments. FYI the admin had not attended UMAHS nor do I think she is a township resident. Anyway, I don’t think there should be people in certain groups unless they have a connection. I have lived in the township since 1985 and have actually attended a Twp / District school. I also fully support our law enforcement and first responders. With regard to the big ole shopping mecca that I have patronized for decades, usually I am in full support of what happens with regard to the shopping in our township but certainly, things, in my opinion, have gone absolutely haywire. So many stores are closing in the mall and Y’all aren’t being kept in the loop. Every time I get to the mall, I make a point of taking photos of any dead/dying store. If I’m not there, my mom will update me. Anyhow things aren’t as well as the township supervisors are telling us. I have decided to take it into my own hands with the help of some of my Facebook family. @kop_mall #KingofPrussiaMall- @simonmalls @simonpropertygp #SimonMallsAndPropertyGroup
