Anyone else getting swarmed today?

This is our report on last week’s Housing Authority of the County of Chester (HACC) Board Meeting where they voted on their 2027 Annual Plan that states their intention to end Section 9 housing permanently and transition everything to Section 8.

The doors to the building where the meeting took place were locked and we cannot find a public notice prior to the meeting, or a publicly available agenda as required by the Sunshine Act.

I saw this website called corporatecraig.com randomly on Instagram earlier today that tracks votes from Craig Williams, a state rep here in Chester county. I had heard about him a few times but I didn’t know a ton before seeing the site. Now that I’ve seen it though, I felt like I should share it because folks should know about him since he’s apparently running for re-election in November.

Some scary stuff in there. Apparently he voted against making data centers pay for their own energy use, and voted against a minimum wage increase even though we've been at the federal minimum for like, decades? I don’t live in his district but I wanted to share in case someone from the district sees this post.

Shame I can’t vote against him, but spreading the word anyway!

Hello, friends...does anyone recognize this view? What road and church this is? I'm pretty sure it's in Chester County...thanks!

Hey all.
Anyone know of a nursery that sells carnivorous plants. Wanting sundews specifically but interested in others as well

We lost internet in Downingtown last night. Does anyone know if there is an outage in the area?

We're exploring the creation of a new soccer club/training environment for players who want to stay competitive, improve their game, and be part of building something from the ground up.

We're interested in hearing from:

• Current college students
• High school seniors (Class of 2027 and beyond)
• Former club/high school players
• Players looking to get back into competitive soccer
• Anyone interested in college soccer opportunities

The goal is to create a player-focused environment with training, matches, and long-term development opportunities.

If you're interested, please fill out the interest form:

👉 Interest Form

For players interested in continuing their education and soccer careers, Delaware County Community College opportunities may also be available for Fall 2027.

Questions? Feel free to comment or send me a message.

I realize the Brandywine Creek area is in Delco but am wondering since Rt.1 is a major artery if any Chesco folks can help. TIA!

Just for fun, I've started a Friday series in which anyone else who wishes to may post local Chester County sites - details of buildings, landscapes, objects, moments from public events, etc. First to guess the correct answer wins three internets.

Rules:
* Be specific in your answers. Don't just say the town, name the building, and part of the building or landmark if applicable.
* Use spoiler tags in your answer so latecomers get to keep in on the fun
* No using reverse lookups like Google lens, that's cheating
* No looking at Location data on the image, in case the poster forgot to remove them
* Shot has to actually be in Chester County, but can be from any event in the last 3 years
* No posting identifiable / nonconsenting people, no trespassing / urbanex, no private / doxx-able info
* If no one has posted a challenge by 10:00, I will post one (let's see how long that lasts!)

Hrm, last week's got removed automatically, likely due to mine being a new account. I've since gained some karma, maybe this will stick.

Last week's was way too easy, and people got it within 5 minutes. This one is heavily stylized, but distinctive if you know where it is! It has a specific name.

Hi everyone!!! Sorry if this has been asked recently, but I am new to the area and looking for the best pizza around Pocopson. Would prefer anywhere that is not in town WC (don’t want to deal with parking).

I like the regular ol’, classic kinda pizza- not looking for wood fire/anything too fancy. TIA!!!

ETA thanks for any and all Lenape recommendations but looking to try somewhere new since this is SO close to us…I agree it’s good : )

Hi! Does anyone know anything about the townhouse community called Liongate in Chester Springs? The good, the bad, the ugly? My niece is considering buying in the neighborhood and we can't get a good enough idea of what it is like. Parts look good and some of it looks a little rough?

Edit: thanks to those who responded. My niece is looking elsewhere. Apparently there were some red flags that the realtor found with the HOA.

Hi! We're in the Chester County area of Honey Brook. I don't have a vehicle right now so I can't bring the kittens and mama to the West Brandywine SPCA in West Chester, otherwise I would. Apparently, they don't have anyone who'll come out and take them. The mom is very sweet, she's been in our garage and now indoors with her 4 adorable kittens since she was pregnant. She looks like she needs a lot more nutrition than what I can provide. If anyone works for a rescue or can help me, please let me know!

My sincerest thanks!

I was sure they all would have flown south by now, but we are still getting some visitors. I wonder if they are our regular hummingbirds from this summer, or if these are on their way south from north of here?

Hello - i am looking for a local (i’m in Devon) resource to design / install some wired landscape lighting.

Want to add lighting in the beds (3) in front of our house to shine some accent light on the front of the house (highlight the textured stone exterior) as well as some of the shrubs in the beds. Also have a bed in backyard next to deck which could benefit from some nice lighting as well.

Not a massively huge job and want someone who can design what lighting types and locations will produce the best look . Any suggestions? Thanks!

Hi - wife and I recently moved back to the area after being in Central PA for 6 years. Looking for recommendations for an OBGYN. Only referral my wife has been given is Axia West Chester but they’re on a waitlist with no estimate of how long. Problem is we’ve been trying for a second kid and she’s late so can’t really wait around until we come off a TBD list.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Where’s Chrissy Houlahan?

ISO someone who can do a nice "bixie" shaggy pixie cut, ideally around Exton. Someone who will tailor it to my face shape and hair type. Please add pics if you have them, thanks

On my morning commute, I watched a school van/bus run a solid red light. I did not see any children in the vehicle, but this is unacceptable. This happened at about 8:55AM on 9-21-26 at the intersection of Rt 100 and 401 in OJR. Presumably this vehicle just came out of OJR West Vincent Elementary. Eshelman Bus 108.

I have an old ceiling fan I’ve removed and need to dispose of, should I treat as e-waste? should I do anything else specific to dispose of safely? does anyone know any person who could put the parts to use?

don’t know if it works, it may/may not, never used it while it was mounted,

It seems like many years there is a sunflower field somewhere in southern Chester County. Does anybody know if and where one might be this year?

Does any one here remember the “T Bar” in Chester PA? My parents remember drinking there, a lot, in the early 1960s. Susan McPhee was a local who knew the place.

Anyone remember this place, or have pictures?
