Sunday Happenings in and Around Town

I will try to post here every Sunday things that are happening in and around our area that I find useful or interesting. What would you would find helpful? Let me know and I'll add them to the weekly list!

In today's Morning Call there's a great writeup about the newly opened Rios Brazilian Steakhouse in Nazareth. You can read it here. Also in the Morning Call, there's a great summary of the weekend's storm damage. Earlier this week they had a report on the new Middle School that's being built by the Nazareth Area School District.

The Express Times also has a nice summary of the weekend's lousy weather here, along with a story about a gentleman who may or may not have had too much to drink who allegedly chose to ignore a barrier and wound up stuck in floodwaters on Zucksville Rd. They also are reporting that Northampton County's Reverse 911 system is in place and ready to be used. According to the article, Reverse 911 will enable emergency management officials to send emergency and other information via automated phone messages to listed and unlisted landline telephone numbers in the 911 database.

Officials can create call lists that target a specific location, like areas along the Delaware River, as well as by municipality, zip codes, etc.

(Northampton County Emergency Management Services Director Bob) Mateff said the system makes 60,000 calls per hour and could reach all the landline phones in the county in two hours.

That's about it for this week's summary. See you around town!
