Your Dog Deserves Better Than Mystery Kibble

Most kibble is cooked at extreme temperatures that strip out the nutrients your dog actually needs. Your dog deserves better than that.

Spot & Tango's UnKibble is the only human-grade dog food that delivers all the benefits of fresh food without taking up fridge space. Made with USDA-grade meats, plus fresh fruits and vegetables, then gently dried at low temps to lock in up to 99% of nutrients. As vets say: "This is the food dogs were born to eat."

It's pantry-friendly, delivered to your door, and comes with a personalized scoop sized to your dog's exact needs. No guesswork, no prep, no refrigeration.

350,000+ dog parents have already made the switch — and 87% saw health improvements in their pup after switching.

Local Student’s Letter Wins

Hearts at Gazzo’s Steaks

A simple letter from a local student is warming hearts across the community after Gazzo’s Steaks shared the thoughtful message online.

The letter, written by Braden McManus, praised the business and wished the team success, thanking them for bringing quality cheesesteaks to the area and helping make the community a better place. The heartfelt note quickly caught attention for its sincerity and kindness.

In response, Gazzo’s Steaks publicly thanked Braden’s parents for raising such a respectful young man and invited Braden and his family to enjoy dinner on the house.

The exchange has become a feel-good reminder of how small gestures can make a big impact on local businesses and the community.

We here at Pottstown Local Scoop might have to go in and introduce ourselves as ‘Braden McManus’…😂

In all seriousness though, way to go Braden!

Suspect Arrested in Fatal Pottstown Stabbing

Authorities have arrested a man accused in a fatal stabbing in Pottstown that occurred Wednesday afternoon on Walnut Street.

According to the Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office, Ryan Grace, 37, was taken into custody Thursday after police received information about his location shortly after announcing a reward tied to the case.

Investigators allege Grace fatally stabbed Shaquille Kare Nicholas, 33, during an argument inside a bedroom at a residence in the 300 block of Walnut Street. Police say the incident happened around 2 p.m. Wednesday.

Officials noted that tips from the public quickly helped lead investigators to the suspect’s whereabouts. Grace has been charged with first-degree murder and related offenses.

The investigation remains ongoing.

Nick DiPaolo Returns to SoulJoel’s

for One Night Only

Comedian Nick DiPaolo is set to return to SoulJoel’s at SunnyBrook for a one-night-only performance on Saturday, Nov. 7 at 8 p.m.

The veteran stand-up comic, known for his sharp wit and politically charged humor, has built a long career through appearances on programs including “Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn,” “The Sopranos,” “Louie,” “Inside Amy Schumer” and numerous Comedy Central Roasts. He has also performed on major late-night shows and currently hosts “The Nick DiPaolo Show.”

The event will take place at 50 Sunnybrook Road in Pottstown, with doors opening 30 minutes before showtime. Tickets are available in both general admission and preferred seating options, with select seats including a post-show meet-and-greet.

Guests can enjoy food from Gatsby’s Pub as well as drinks available throughout the evening.

Mini Golf Fundraiser Supports

Mental Health Awareness

The Borough of Pottstown Parks and Recreation Department is encouraging residents to take part in two community events happening this Saturday, both focused on supporting local causes and celebrating the arts.

From 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., Manatawny Green Miniature Golf will host the “Putt Past the Stigma” fundraiser, benefiting NAMI Montgomery County through support from the Pottstown High School Trojans. Participants can enjoy mini golf for $10 per golfer, with proceeds going toward mental health advocacy and support services.

Later in the day, the community can head to Riverfront Park, 140 College Drive, for the Spring Pottstown Arts in the Park event from noon to 4 p.m. The event, presented in collaboration with Pottstown Community Arts, will feature local art, creativity and family-friendly activities.

Organizers say both events offer meaningful ways for residents to support the community while enjoying a fun Saturday in Pottstown.
