While the Grinch was up to no good in Elizabeth Township this weekend, he showed the true size of his heart when he ran into the community’s young people. On Saturday, the Grinch stopped at the Central Coffee Shoppe, Fox’s, the Boutique, Candelore’s Dog House Diner, Dollar General, Wagners, Giant Eagle, Central Fire Department, Greenock Fire Department and Blane Hill Fire Department. He also walked down Route 48, through Highland Meadows, Buena Vista near the pool and the middle school and rode in a motorcycle sidecar throughout various areas of the township.
