Welcome to The Montgomery County Hub

Welcome to the very first issue of The Montgomery County Hub—a weekly newsletter created to celebrate the best of life in Montgomery County, PA.

Our goal is simple: to bring neighbors together by sharing positive local stories, helpful information, community events, and highlights from around the county. We want this to be a space you feel good about opening and comfortable sharing with your family.

The Montgomery County Hub is a family-friendly publication. We focus on what brings our community together, not what divides it. You won’t find coverage of politics, crime, or negative headlines here—there are already plenty of outlets dedicated to those topics. Instead, we choose to spotlight the people, places, and moments that make

Montgomery County a great place to live.

Thank you for being here at the start. We’re glad to have you as part of the Hub and look forward to growing this community together.

A Plymouth Meeting woman and her small crew are working to reduce food waste by collecting scraps from businesses and residences to turn it into compost.

Known as the "Back to Earth Compost Crew," they aim to keep food waste out of landfills and back into the soil.

Founder and Owner Colleen Falicki explained that they work with various establishments to transform food waste into compost, which is then given back to customers twice a year to fertilize their plants.

Two businesses they collaborate with are Blossom Cafe and Foulkeways at Gwynedd.

What Would You Do? A Neighborhood Dilemma

Imagine this scenario.

You step outside on a sunny morning, coffee in hand, ready to enjoy your backyard. Instead, you’re met with a mess: bird droppings splattered across your patio furniture, coating your deck, and streaking down your car. Again. The clean-up has become part of your routine, but no matter how often you scrub, the problem keeps returning.

The reason? Pigeons. Not just a few — dozens. Sometimes 40 or 50 at a time.

A nearby neighbor regularly puts out large amounts of feed, drawing flocks of pigeons into the area day after day. The birds roost nearby, perch on roofs and railings, and leave behind significant amounts of droppings that impact surrounding properties. Outdoor spaces are harder to use, maintenance costs add up, and concerns about cleanliness and property damage grow.

You’ve tried to find help. Calls to local agencies lead nowhere. You’re told that feeding birds isn’t illegal. Health officials won’t intervene. Wildlife authorities say pigeons aren’t protected, but also won’t take action. Township officials explain that it’s a civil matter between neighbors.

So now what?

This is where we’d like you to pause and step into the shoes of the affected property owner.

What would you do in this situation?

Would you try again to reason with the neighbor despite their refusal to talk to you? Install deterrents and hope for the best? Seek mediation? Consult an attorney? Ignore it and adapt? Or take a completely different approach?

This isn’t about assigning blame — it’s about real-world problem-solving when systems don’t offer clear answers. Situations like this raise questions about personal responsibility, neighborly coexistence, and where individual rights intersect with community impact.

We want to hear from you.

If you were dealing with this ongoing nuisance at your own home, how would you handle it? What advice would you offer? What solutions

would you explore?
