Ferguson Township Police have recovered the vehicle involved in a carjacking last week on West College Avenue.

Tucked away at 140 Kelly Alley, Charmaine's French Bakery and Cafe has depended mostly on word of mouth and people stumbling upon it by accident. So when a site became available underneath the Mid-State Bank branch at 234 E. College Ave, the owner decided to open a second location there.
