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.

This is in marked contrast to Molly Maguire's, which is too cramped. Plus, the food at Molly's is TERRIBLE.

That said, while walking home last night, I couldn't help but notice the number of people smoking outside--which is great, b/c it's a non-smoking establishment. :-)
What is unsettling is the number of cigarette butts that now litter the sidewalk in front of the pub. They desperately need a Smoker's Outpost. Those butts end up in the storm sewer, which drains to our local waterways = gross!
The www.ryans-pub.com website only lists contact info for West Chester and I doubt that a staffer in W.C. will care or want to forward my concern to the owners and/or Phoenixville managers. Does anyone have an email or phone number of the PHX location?
This, by the way, is littering and should be fined. It should be a swift and hefty fine to discourage people from throwing their butts all over our streets. If the police cannot or do not have the time to enforce these codes then the business establishment should be held responsible for cleaning their mess. Its disgusting.
NEXT! ;)
Also, I found Molly's food to be pretty good (and I've had a few meals there). The only downside is that the prices are steep for the amount of food you get. And the imported beer... be prepared to spend $$$.
