Lehigh Valley Ramblings had some good posts this week and a couple of call outs so I had to feature Bernie's site first. On Tuesday, at the stroke of midnight, Bernie conducted a study of area sites and blogs and their Alexa Ranking. I don't pay too close attention to this for NOC, because how high could it conceivably rank given a focus on a population with less than 25,000? Well, the site is in the 2.8 million range, meaning there are that many more popular than NOC around the world. Bernie did note readership on NOC was up 60% over the past three months, which was a pleasant surprise, though I'm expecting a summer slow down (very common).
Ramblings were outside the top 1 million but didn't hit 2 million, way to go Bernie!
Informationally, Bernie has a great run-down, including resumes of the three candidates to fill the County Council vacancies.
Thanks for the plug on the Town Hall meeting NOC reported Charlie Dent having on Monday!
And finally, Bernie has been practicing extensively for the kazoo parade (this has to be a post on Weird Nazareth next week!)
Andy predicted and saw his prediction come true - no PA budget on July 1. Not sure how he sits through full coverage on PCN, but he does it!
From Cozy House to Home has a great piece on a trip to an antique show complete with photos of items to purchase, kids enjoying the event, and purchases on display in the home - nice job Michelle and loved the pictures of the kids! She has also announced the winner of the throw rug.
Weird Nazareth continues to intrigue with a great post on the history of Christian Springs. I knew the community was originally a Moravain settlement, and got the spring part, but the rest was all news to me and I think some further exploration and potentially historical recognition would be great for the area. Nice job! If you know of local history, or more importantly local rumors related to history, contact Weird Nazareth or send me a note and I'll forward it along.
Those taking early holiday leave included Breakfast in the Valley, Joe Owens Blog, Lower Nazareth Citizens Forum, and Tatamy Happenings.
If you have a Nazareth area or Nazareth based blog that you would like to have included on the sidebar and in the round-up - please let me know: editor@newsovercoffee.com

Thanks for the good words about the Christian Spring post. I have been looking into the history around here fairly intensively and it's full of fascinating tidbits, although many do not quite qualify as weird (and some, of course, won't do on a family blog).
