Murrysville Among Top Seven Safest Communities in Pennsylvania

The essence of a safe community has become a focal point for many, especially in the wake of nationwide lockdowns. Pennsylvania, known for its scenic beauty and historical significance, hosts a plethora of safe and welcoming communities. A recent study in 2018 spotlighted Murrysville among the top seven safest places to live in the state, a testament to our town's dedication to ensuring the safety and well-being of its residents.

The full list of the top seven safest communities includes:

1. Fox Chapel

2. Franklin Park

3. Turtle Creek

4. Bellefonte

5. McCandless

6. Murrysville

7. Clarion

Murrysville's low crime rate is a reflection of the diligent efforts of our excellent police department, whose regular community outreach programs and crime prevention initiatives have fostered a sense of security among the residents. This, coupled with strong community bonds, creates a welcoming atmosphere that is hard to find elsewhere.

The neighboring communities, each with their unique offerings, also contribute to the overall serene and secure ambiance of the region, making this part of Pennsylvania a cluster of safe havens.

As Murrysville residents, we share a sense of pride and comfort in calling this safe and nurturing environment our home. Our town, along with the other six safe communities, sets a sterling example of how safety serves as a foundation for thriving social connections and a flourishing quality of life.

A Savory Surprise: KFC Debuts New Menu Item in Murrysville

Fast food aficionados in Murrysville have a reason to rejoice as Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) has rolled out a new menu item exclusively in the Pittsburgh area. The Smash’d Potato Bowl, a comforting concoction, is KFC's latest endeavor to tantalize the taste buds of the community. This hearty bowl melds mashed potatoes, fries, bacon crumbles, and a luscious cheese sauce, offering a delightful divergence from the usual fast-food fare.

For a limited period, this savory bowl is priced at an affordable $3.49. And for those who fancy a meaty bite, an upgraded version with chicken nuggets is available for $5.79.

The good news for Murrysville residents is that they don't have to venture far to indulge in this new offering. The KFC outlet at 4400 William Penn Highway is among the chosen test locations for the Smash’d Potato Bowl. This exclusive debut in our locale underscores the pivotal role our community often plays in the culinary explorations of popular food chains.

This isn't merely an opportunity to try a new dish; it's a moment for Murrysville to partake in a culinary trial that could potentially influence KFC menus nationwide.

So, whether you're a fast-food enthusiast or someone who enjoys a novel dining experience, make your way to the local KFC. Be among the first in Murrysville to delve into the flavors of the Smash’d Potato Bowl. Your palate is in for a savory surprise, and your feedback could very well propel this dish to permanent menu status across KFC outlets!
