Reiner voted “no” on granting a request by Harrier LLC, a Grace family business entity, to change the lot lines on three adjoining parcels of land situated between Oakland Road, Route 202, and Brinton’s Bridge Road. One of the parcels is in a residential…
How ironic that Region C U-CF School Board candidates [Beverley] Brookes, [Kathy] Do, and [Gregg] Lindner are running on a platform that proclaims "Education Not Politics." Brookes, Do, and Lindner have all been highly active in partisan politics for many decades and each has served as an elected official. I applaud their involvement in political action, but that campaign slogan is very inappropriate when each…

Well hello. My name is Della and I’m an attractive great legged, brown and white tabby. I’m dressed with a white bib, and white socks.

For this Halloween week, check out the fabulous "Show us Your Dark Side" exhibit opening reception at the Chester County Art Association this Thursday, October 29th from 5-8 pm, showing through November 19th. The diversity of mediums and expression make for an astonishing show, all artfully curated and hung in the Chester County Art Association's recently remodeled main Bradford Gallery.

A remote location – accessible only by entering a rutted, stone roadway and ignoring “Keep Out” signs. A group of individuals wearing gloves and wielding shovels. Days before Halloween, such a scene might have aroused suspicions, but the posse of more than 40 staffers from the Brandywine Conservancy & Museum of Art did not have mischief in mind. Rather than qualifying as shady characters, these…
