The Jumboree Players In Town For Two Shows

Reader Blanko Dave wrote in to tell me about two shows that The Jumboree Players will be performing in Phoenixville. The first will be held on Friday, June 6th at EarthMart. The show starts at 6:30 and will go until at least 9:30. The second will be held Sunday, August 3rd at the Colonial Theatre. Showtime for that one starts at 1pm and will go until ~ 2pm at which time the Colonial will be showing Easy Rider.

Blanko Dave describes the shows as such:
---
The band is The Jumboree Players. It's a musical collective, more or less. We are a band from South Philly that has about 15 members, and we play many styles of music... rock, pop, blues, country, jazz, and soul, on many different instruments.

For the EarthMart show it will be 6:30 to around 9:30, possibly later depending on the crowd. The show will be primarily acoustic instruments.

For The Colonial Theatre, the band will play an hour of electric late-60's music starting at 1:00, and the movie Easy Rider gets shown at 2:00 (it's the Sunday Classic that day).

Dave also sent a review from a show they did last year which can be read here.

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.

Barry Cassidy Addresses Downtown Rumors

Today's Phoenix ran an article written by Barry Cassidy in which he addressed the various rumors that have been circulating regarding the immediate futures of several local businesses. He paints a much rosier picture than some of the comments here would have you believe. From the article: --- On Monday someone came in and told me Molly Maguire's was closing. I knew that was not correct because they are expanding, not closing. Then about 20 minutes after than I heard from someone else that 101 was closing and the building was going to become a McDonalds. I knew that was not correct either. Marietu' Fanny from the crepe joint at Bridge and Gay called me and was upset that she heard someone at the business association meeting say she was closing... She went on to tell me that they were doing well... Then I heard probably the most outrageous rumor of all... Ellie's Choice is closing. Now think about this one, folks. Here, Ellie has been here for a long time, she was here ...
