No foolin’, the  Chadds Ford Live newsletter and website is five years old today.

When the Chadds Ford Post went out of business in 2009, many people in town didn’t want to lose the local news source and editor Richard Schwartzman. The Chadds Ford Business Association stepped up as the first supporter and advertiser. We appreciate the many additional advertisers and subscribers who followed.

The Chadds Ford Live website grew quickly and added an online newsletter. Readers today demand convenience and accessibility on their preferred platform. To the web and newsletter, we added Facebook, Linkedin and Twitter posts.

Our daily goal is to build community one story at a time.  This post is number 3331.

Long term, we are creating THE archive of 21st century life in Birmingham, Pennsbury, Chadds Ford and Concord townships. We are building a searchable database for our area. Future readers and historians can look back and find out when Birmingham Township celebrated its 325^th anniversary, when Virginia Logan was appointed executive director of the Brandywine Conservancy, when Pastor William Scott retired from the Brandywine Baptist Church.

When we started, the site was locked and readers needed a logon name and password. Two years ago, we went to the honor system. Many of you pay, but we need 500 more people to pay for their subscription to stay on the honor system. Our advertisers pick up the rest.

If you are a member of the Chadds Ford Business Association, your subscription is part of your membership dues.  If you aren’t a member of CFBA and haven’t paid, please visit https://www.chaddsfordlive.com/shop to pay online, or mail a check for $25 to PO Box 113 Chadds Ford PA 19317.  Subscribe today and receive a special Earth Day thank you from us.

Our readers and advertisers (listed below) are the best.  We look forward to the next five years with you.

 

Sincerely,

The Staff of Chadds Ford Live
