After 40 years, a new owner has taken over Village Pretzels and upgrades and new food choices are on the horizon.
With the exception of deep dish pizza, Peter Lin savors the tastes of Chicago when he has a chance to visit the Windy City. Lin, who last month took the reins of the 40-year-old Village Pretzels, is planning to incorporate some of Chicago's tastes - in particular Vienna beef hot dogs, sausages and roast beef sandwiches - into the eatery's menu in the coming months. "We’re going to get hot dogs imported from Chicago," Lin said. "We'll be assembling the premium hot dogs to order." But, Berks dog-lovers need not worry, Lin said that popular variety will be sticking around. "People seem to like them," he said.

Attorneys differ on whether the arrest of former Hatboro Police detective sergeant John Becker, who was assigned to the Montgomery County Drug Task Force, could impact arrests he made.
A criminal defense attorney contends that “every case” that ex-cop John Becker assisted with could potentially be jeopardized and Montgomery County may have been “exposed to liability." Becker, 42, of Horsham, a 17-year Hatboro Police veteran, as well as a special county detective for the Montgomery County Drug Task Force for more than a decade, is accused of coercing informants to buy drugs for his own personal use. He has also been charged with allegedly stealing cash, guns and drugs from the Hatboro Police Department’s evidence locker. The thefts alone - some of which Becker admitted to in this criminal complaint - are enough to taint his credibility, according to criminal defense attorney Peter Scuderi. “Who knows what to believe? Why …
