Last Week: Hearts, Police Impersonators And A National Treasure

It was another full week of Wall Township news here at Wall Patch. We started out the week with a heroing tale of young heart patients, had a couple of unusual police arrests, forwarded an application for a 7-Eleven and had Camp Evans getting a nod from local legislators to become a National Historic Site. 

Below is a sampling of some of the week's highlights. We're looking forward to yet another jam-packed news week coming up. We hope you come back.
