Conshohocken

Right near the Wissahickon Transfer Station is the Philadelphia Canoe Club.

If you go up the Schuylkill River in Conshohocken, the Philadelphia Swim Club is there.

So you can swim in an area right there in the river.

If you look at the birds and the other animals, life in the rivers, there's a lot to look at.

Another one just cleared right around Gladwyne, so there is still some backup, a little heavier than usual as you make your way eastbound toward the city.

This is around the Conshohocken curve, where things kind of come to a stop, and you inch your way toward the boulevard, about 40 minutes eastbound from the Blue Route to the Vine, moving about 18 miles per hour, 30 minutes headed westbound toward the Blue Route from Center City.

There's also a crash out in Bucks County on Route 1 at Oxford Valley Road.

The southbound side of Oxford Va- Oxford Valley Road is also impacted by this.

Action News reporter Caroline Goggin has more.

There are an estimated 70,000 skill game machines in places across the commonwealth, like bars, gas stations, convenience stores, and VFW halls like this one right here in Conshohocken.

The veterans inside tell me they hope that lawmakers in Harrisburg can come back to the table to address this issue.

Inside VFW Post 1074, the so-called Conshy Casino is now empty.

You wanna tax it, I'm fine with that, but it has to be at a lot lower level.

Governor Josh Shapiro had proposed a 52% tax rate for these skill games, which is in line with slot machines here in PA.

In Conshohocken, I'm Caroline Goggin, Channel Six Action News.

Efforts are now underway to help alleviate the congestion of driving to and from the Jersey Shore.

Our guest today is Brad Mook.

Brad is the Managing Director of Investments and Finance at the Rosemont Investment Group, a Conshohocken, Pennsylvania-based specialist investor that makes minority permanent capital investments in employee-owned asset and wealth management firms.

Brad's career spans three distinct vantage points on the investment industry.

He spent 15 years as a sell-side analyst and director of research, analyzing businesses and valuations across a wide range of industries.

Well, thank you for having me, Robert.

It's a pleasure to be here.

So how long is the drive from Conshohocken? Longer than it should be.

I always underestimate the trip into the city.

We don't know.

Uh, let's go to Michael in Conshohocken.

He's on Talk Radio 1210.

Hey, Michael, afternoon.

...

I learned the one thing, like you remember from, like, one of the, uh, freestyle things is he's like, "Beautiful Conshohocken, whoa."

[laughs] Yeah.

Like, and he does it, and like, you're like, "What the hell is that?" And he's like, "Oh, dude, I called down to some, like, store in Conshohocken-

In Conshohocken.

[laughs]

... and they were, and they were saying it like that.

They were like, 'Beautiful Conshohocken, whoa.'"

Can you help me?" And she was like, "Look, honestly, not really.

I can't promise you anything, but there is an admitted students conference happening in Conshohocken, and it's in a couple of weeks.

You should go there.

You should meet with this guy." For the sake of privacy, I'll leave his name out, but his name started with a B.

We're very lucky to be here.

We're within the halls of the iconic Studio Four in Conshohocken.

Ironically, a studio where I was with a band and we had a record deal that we recorded our album here.

I remember sitting in this room watching Phil Niccolo mix our record.
