Marker dedication to honor onetime fixture in Glen Rock community

Every year, Jon Nicklow pages back through Glen Rock’s long story to find an anniversary to celebrate. And every year, that anniversary is remembered in bronze. A memorial to the borough’s Community Recreation Building rose to the top of the Glen Rock Historic Preservation Society’s list this year. The Baltimore Street building opened in 1926, though it did not live to celebrate its century birthday. The building, bad roof and all, was demolished in 2010. But memories remain — a host of them. It served as the Glen Rock High School gym, Borough Hall, police headquarters, the Glen Rock Carolers hall, site of countless community dinners and much more. “If you grew up in town,” Nicklow of the Historic Preservation Society said, “you definitely knew where it was.” At one point, the building was expanded to cover the family home of prominent residents Jim and Mark Kroh.

So the old building will receive its marker — a $3,000 investment in

Yes, mostly. Angel Studios’ Hershey, in theaters November 25, 2026, is built on the real life of Milton S. Hershey, the Pennsylvania candymaker who went broke before he got rich, and his wife Catherine, who everyone called Kitty. The Hershey true story is stranger and sadder than a chocolate-bar origin tale has any right to be, and the movie keeps most of it. It also adds a villain who never existed.
