🍺 Casey's Saloon & Eatery Is Closing
Google StreetView
A longtime Hatfield Borough restaurant is shuttering after almost four decades.
Casey's Saloon & Eatery announced its closure last week. It will remain open as a BYOB establishment for the time being, but the restaurant has sold its liquor license. The eatery's historic South Main Street building is also on the market; it opened as a grocery store before World War II and was The Speedway Grill for decades before Casey's took over in 1988.

🚨 Alleged Car Thief Runs Out Of Gas ... Literally
He probably should have thought this through more.
A Monroe County man allegedly stole a car in Mount Pocono and ran out of gas in Upper Gwynedd several days later. He then called police for assistance, eventually leading to his arrest. The man initially claimed he had borrowed his sister's car when questioned by cops; police also found drug paraphernalia in the vehicle.
🚔 Local Police Comings And Goings
The Upper Gwynedd Police Department recently hired three new officers while Officer George Johnson, a longtime Lansdale Police Department member, retired from the force after 27 years.

🐶 Rescue of the Week
James Short | North Penn Now
This feature is a bit different this week. Meet Gobble, who is being fostered in Blue Bell through Home At Last Dog Rescue but is not yet ready to be adopted. He is a “special needs medical dog” receiving therapy and treatment to address his four abducted limbs — which means they were positioned outward at abnormal angles. He has made progress with walking and in his recovery, but he still has a lot of work to do before finding a forever home.
If you would like to contribute to Gobble’s recovery and medical needs, you can visit the group’s website to donate. HAL also accepts Venmo, @HomeAtLast-DogRescue. In addition to monetary gifts, HAL also needs food and supply donations for its dogs. If you would like to donate supplies, arrangements can be made here.
