In March 1850, the Borough of Media was officially incorporated by a Special Act of Assembly. This collection is a portrait of the borough as it exists in 2025. To that end, we’re collecting photographs of every building in the borough.
Architecture is interesting, it's part of what makes Media such a distinctive place. Photos that show family members, business owners, organization staffs, volunteers and members, clergy and congregations are also included to provide a fuller portrait of Media in 2025.
During the Media Porchfest 2025, 24 West Street was one of 30 venues around town that featured music taking place simultaneously as the Great Media Garage Sale. The Past Blasters played from 1 - 4 in the afternoon following an earlier set by Lily Rowan. Here is how The Past Blasters described themselves on their Facebook account: "The Past Blasters features Chris Farrell, (vocals, rhythm guitar), Michael Sage (bass) and Dawn Beck (keyboard). we play the music of our generation - the soft rock of the 60s and 70s - a musical era that will never grow old."
Three Potato Four is a gift shop that sells a curated selection of new and vintage goods. The storefront opened Fall of 2022 by Media residents and husband and wife team Stu Eli and Janet Morales.
