Have You Seen Souderton's Viral Video?

Souderton Area High School's lip dub of Sara Bareilles' "Brave" has gone viral and benefited children at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, thanks to the hard work of a few ambitious seniors! The inspiring video has even caught the attention of Sara Bareilles, who further publicized the video on her Twitter.  Be sure to watch their Youtube Video here!

The video and campaign have been spearheaded by Bianca Picard, Kassidy Mason and Richard Curtis of SAHS. Check out more about their organization here!

Favorite Local Coffee Shop: Main Street Java!

Tucked away in a renovated brick building on Main Street, Souderton, is my favorite local coffee spot: Main Street Java! The relaxed atmosphere, friendly owners and employees, and delicious artisan sandwiches are just a few of the reasons that I bet you'll love Main Street Java, too.

Main Street Java is a great neighbor, too: they only offer fair trade, organic coffee and teas...some of which are even from local distributors!
And if you're really lucky, you'll visit on a day or evening featuring live music from some of the area's most talented artists.
