'Cassidy on leave'

Today's (5/10/07) Phoenix has an article saying "Barry Cassidy has been placed on administrative leave...". This is the latest chapter in an ongoing, and apparently worsening, relationship between Cassidy and the borough, in particular Borough Manager Anthony DiGirolomo. I am not going to get into my opinion on who is right or wrong but thought it should be mentioned as this leaves a lot of things up in the air. Short term, this certainly calls into question whether or not the weekend music festival that had been mentioned as a replacement for the F.A.M.E. festival will actually happen. It also brings a fair amount of uncertainty to the Summer Music Series which brings in hundreds, if not thousands of visitors into Phoenixville every Friday during the summer.

I, for one, hope that this can get resolved quickly and in everyone's best interests. To read the entire article, please see the link below.

Wow. Strife is always around, it seems. This isn't good news for the borough, yet there's so much momentum now that it's hard to imagine it would do anything worse than slow things down a little.

Several Local Businesses Closing Up Shop

Over the next couple of months, three local businesses will be closing their doors. On Saturday, February 16th, Polka Dots will be closing their store at 246 Bridge Street. The shop, a women's clothing boutique, opened nearly two and a half years ago but has recently found business slow. --- Originally, (owner Susan) Randels said that the store was doing well, but that the momentum could not keep up. "The things that sold in Paoli didn't sell in Phoenixville," she said, adding that some customers thought that the store was too expensive or the sizing did not go high enough (size 12 being the highest size sold). "We tried everything." Randels also said that parking was an issue for many of her customers who could either not find spaces or did not feel safe parking behind the store. --- Polka Dots remains open until the 16th, with hours on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. The phone number is 610-935-5914.
