Why we’re fall-ing in love with Wayfair
It's no secret that Wayfair is a fun place to shop, but in a world where every penny counts, we're not just looking to have fun. Our goal is to save big on quality home goods as we gear up for the holidays. In case you're wondering, "Is Wayfair legit?" or "Is Wayfair furniture good quality?", we can confidently answer yes to those questions, and if you read Wayfair reviews, you’ll find that thousands of customers agree with us.
But there are even more reasons to love Wayfair, and Brad's Deals rounded up their top reasons. Brad (yes, it's a real guy) was a broke college student who found cheaper ways to shop and shared them with his friends in the early 2000’s. Now their experts search the web to find the best deals, and share them with users. To join the club, all you need is an email address.

Caln Township Honors Veterans Among Its Own Police Force

CALN TWP — Caln Township will honor veterans within its police department this Veterans Day, spotlighting officers who have served in the U.S. military and now contribute to community safety. The township recognizes six officers for their combined service, including time in the Marine Corps, Army, and Army National Guard. These honorees—Sergeant Joshua Whisler, Officers Travis Hodes, Colin Kaiser, Charles Norwood, Michael Cabry, and Detective Tyler Reece—reflect the shared values of resilience, integrity, and protection central to both military and police roles.

WEST CHESTER, PA - Authorities have arrested two additional suspects in the October school bus shooting in Coatesville, an incident believed to be linked to a prior altercation. Gabriel Johnson, 17, and Jose Medina, 20, were charged with attempted murder and other serious counts. Both are accused of involvement in the targeted attack on the school bus, which resulted in no injuries but raised significant safety concerns. This follows the earlier arrest of 18-year-old Jaki White-Marshall. With one suspect still at large, Chester County law enforcement continues to investigate, calling for public assistance in bringing all those responsible to justice.
Wallace Township Kicks Off Holidays with Grinch-Themed Tree Lighting
