More than 10 years of controversy, bitterness and lawsuits are coming to not just a quiet end but also one that is almost joyous, at least for some people. Pennsbury Township Supervisors voted Nov. 19 to move forward with their plans to buy three parcels of land that were once part of the hotly contested Pennsbury Village development. They earmarked $4.8 million for 23 acres…
The community visioning event at the Chadds Ford Township building was such a refreshing experience for us, and I want to thank Deb Reardon, tireless chairman of the Open Space Committee, and the Brandywine Conservancy team, and all else who helped behind the scenes to make this great experience happen. The subject of trails in Chadds Ford has been a hot potato since it was…

On Wednesday, Nov. 19, Cintas Corporation, a purveyor of restroom programs and supplies, announced that…

But, not all fat is created equally…
Here's an idea – get with your network of friends, relatives and neighbors and put them to work for you. I don't mean putting them on the payroll. I mean tapping into them as a referral source. Consider this. Most people know roughly 250 people. Those 250 people each know another 250. Do the math. That's 45,000-plus potential referral prospects. Even at a close rate…
This week begins with a Pop up show at Galer Estate Winery featuring the vividly colorful and expressionistic paintings of popular local artist John Hannafin. His downtown West Chester winter scene is a show stopper- what a perfect Christmas card! It has the warmth and nostalgia of a Grandma Moses piece, but Hannafin's signature marks make the image fresh and lively. The row buildings appear…
