Home Care In Dublin, PA

DUBLIN BOROUGH, PA — Big changes are happening at the Shops at the Square in the Dublin Town Center.

Farm to Toast has relocated to a larger space with a bigger kitchen and additional seating at the entrance to the shops at the rear of the building in Dublin Borough. And a new Italian market is setting up shop with a planned March opening at Farm to Toast's former location.

Farm to Toast, a gourmet toast and wellness café, will celebrate its new vibrant space with a grand relocation celebration on Saturday, February 10 from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Featured will be new drink and food specials, a raffle for a free Farm to Toast T-shirt and Elixr Coffee and a grand prize drawing where one lucky customer will win a free smoothie a week for an entire year.

The cafe specializes in various gourmet toasts, superfood smoothies, salads, acai bowls, and all things coffee and tea.

“The new space is stunning and we can't wait to see you there this weekend,” said Corinna Garis, Dublin Town Center’s marketing director.

The Shops at the Square have also announced an exciting new addition - an Italian market - that will be taking over Farm to Toast’s former location next to Pineapple On Main and the Boiler Room and around the corner from Wildflower Valley and Makers: Vintage and Handmade.

Mercatino Pronto Dublin will feature a 1,400-square-foot quick service grab and go market with pre-made panini, meals, salads, sides, desserts and much more.

“To say that we have an amazing group of small businesses located all under one roof is an understatement! You will have to see it to believe it! We cannot wait to be a part of the @dublintowncenter community,” said the market owners.

Renovations are underway at the space with a March opening planned.

Dublin will be the third location for the popular Mercatino Italiano, which has a store in Quakertown and will be opening soon in Bethlehem.

Mercatino Italiano offers a wide selection of imported goods and products as well as local vendors. The store markets itself as a great place to explore the tastes of Italy and its selection of meats, cheeses, home-made, ready-to-eat meals and much more.

The Shops at the Square are located inside an old, restored factory brought to life as a “Town Square,” a place for the community to gather with quality food and drink, local makers and retailers, health and wellness experts, and commercial office space under one roof.

The Shops at the Square is part of the Dublin Town Square, which also includes the Station, a modern food hall and culinary destination located inside a renovated garage from the 1930s; the Lofts, home to 30 luxury apartments; and the Boiler Room, Dublin’s premier craft cocktail and wine bar featuring Crossing Vineyards’ award-winning selection of varietals, PA-crafted spirits, and local brewery selections.

UPPER DUBLIN, PA — Before kids go out trick or treating on Halloween, fall is a good time to take an inventory of who is living in your neighborhood. Upper Dublin currently has four registered sex offenders with local residential addresses listed on the Pennsylvania Megan's Law Sex Offender Registry, a publicly available online database. None of them are Tier 3 offenders, the tier which includes kidnapping, rape, and aggravated sexual assault.

Nearby, Springfield Township has eight offenders with local addresses. Each of those addresses is included in the map below, as well.

Pins on the map, which is at the bottom of this article, represent addresses of offenders convicted of sex crimes. Roll your cursor over the pins, and you will see more information pop up, including the address of the offender, and a notation if they are a Tier 3 offender.

It's important to note that this list does not include sex offenders who may happen to be employed in the Abington area while residing elsewhere.

In some states, registered sex offenders are prohibited from passing out candy on Halloween. This is not the case in Pennsylvania, as the state does not restrict offender activities on the holiday.

You may want to avoid trick or treating at these houses and apartments on Halloween, or merely be aware of who's living in your neighborhood during the rest of the year.

Law enforcement officials and researchers caution that the registries can play only a limited role in preventing child sexual abuse and stress that most perpetrators are known to the child. The U.S. Department of Justice, which oversees the National Sex Offender Public Website, estimates that only about 10 percent of perpetrators of child sexual abuse are strangers to the child.

The Justice Department estimates 60 percent of perpetrators are known to the child but are not family members but rather family friends, babysitters, child care providers and others, and 30 percent of child victims are abused by family members. Nearly a quarter of the abusers are under the age of 18, the department estimates.
