Neighbors of a proposed mega-Wawa in Cherry Hill say the store will be far from super - and far too close to their homes. A public hearing on the final plan is set to continue before the township Planning Board on March 5. The project does not require a zoning variance.

A team of 28 specialists in various fields, including curriculum and instruction and finance, will be conducting an “in-depth analysis” of the district. In the latest Quality Single Accountability Continuum (QSAC) performance review, the district received failing grades in four of the five categories — instruction and program (7 percent); operations (47 percent); personnel (9 percent), and governance (33 percent). It received 79 percent in fiscal management. http://bit.ly/AurbgB

During the last four weeks, Big Brother in Camden has taken note of 624 vehicles whose occupants did something suspicious near one of the city's busiest open-air drug markets, Sixth and York Streets. The owners of these vehicles will receive letters next week warning them that their vehicles were seen by the city's Eye in the Sky surveillance network in the high-crime and drug-trafficking area. The project has confirmed what city officials have been hearing from residents for a long time: Camden's drug and crime issues are not insulated city problems. Out of the 624 letters going out (205 are repeat offenders), 90 percent are going to residents of suburban communities, Cherry Hill and Sewell being the most common destinations. http://bit.ly/zfCOU4

A wealthy real estate developer said Tuesday he and four partners plan to make an offer to buy the city’s two largest newspapers, whose downtown offices he already owns. The partnership, calling itself Philly Hometown Media LLC, plans to make a cash offer for the newspapers, Blatstein said. Last week, news reports surfaced that two hedge funds with major stakes in the company want to sell. The firms had led the creditors’ $139 million takeover of the company at a September 2010 bankruptcy auction. Former Gov. Ed Rendell also said last week that he, Philadelphia Flyers owner Ed Snider, Cooper University Hospital Chairman George Norcross and others were leading a separate effort to buy the newspapers. http://on.cpsj.com/wF2Ncu

Prom night is not only one of the most important social events of the school year, it is also one of the most expensive. To ensure no girl goes without a dress for the prom, the Osborn Family Health Center, Brimm Medical Arts High School, is sponsoring a Prom Gown Drive. If you have a gently used gown in your closet just collecting dust, you can put that gown to good use by donating it. All donated prom gowns will be distributed to the young women of Brimm Medical Arts High School in Camden. Clean, wearable gowns, dressy cocktail-length dresses and prom accessories such as handbags, shoes and jewelry will be collected throughout the months of February and March. Donations may be dropped off at the Osborn Family Health Center located directly across the street from Our Lady of Lourdes Medical Center at 1601 Haddon Avenue, Camden, NJ 08103.
