• Pride Flag Raising Planned In Jenkintown (patch.com) — Jenkintown Borough will raise the Progress Pride Flag this Friday at 6 p.m. at the Town Square Gazebo on Greenwood Avenue, and all residents are invited. State Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta will join the ceremony, which kicks off a month of Pride-themed music, family activities, and community booths in town and beyond. 
• AI-driven website is hurting a Jenkintown restaurant's business, ownership says (glensidelocal.com) — Jenkintown diners are being misled by an AI-driven website that wrongly lists Mobay Jamaican Restaurant as open only on Sundays, which the owner says has sharply slowed business. Mobay, along with several other Jenkintown eateries named on the site, actually keeps regular weekday hours, and the owner is urging locals to check the restaurant’s correct schedule and new website instead.
