I voted and I think its in our best interest to support our stores and make our town more visible. We are all sales people for our town and I would like to think everyone would participate by voting for their favorites.

the cheese place is leaving? That totally sucks, we used to go there all the time. Anyone know why they folded? It seemed like there were always people inside when I went and their lease couldn't have been that expensive.

It will probably be replaced by a pharmacy or an Irish pub.

Re: Cheese
Michael wanted to spend more time with his family and is pursuing other opportunities. He is currently looking for a buyer for the shop as a "cheese shop." I hope to see it continue!

Michael did want to spend more time with his new family. As you know running an upstart business (even a small cheese shop) requires a lot of time and dedication. Michael indicated that his heart just wasn't in it anymore. But he's a great guy and we wished him the best of luck. His business was awesome and hopefully someone will buy it - ANY TAKERS?

Hopefully someone buys the cheese shop and keeps it running. I still have $10 on a gift card that I was going to use before they closed. Too bad they closed a week before they were planning on it.

Treat yourself and have a 'wiz with' at Joeys. Best cheesesteak anywhere around here and much better than Pat's or Geno's. Get a side of the fries to finish it off

Joey's seems to have strange hours. It's like they are hardly ever open when I want to eat there! But it is a quality place.

Best Mexican would be Los Mariachis on Gay Street. Very authentic and reasonable prices.

101 Bridge to Open Tomorrow

Received a phone call from my sister (who happens to be moving into Phoenixville on Saturday) who said there is a sign in front of the new 101 Bridge Restaurant saying that it will be opening tomorrow(6/25). It appears they are having a private opening tonight. If anyone here attended tonight or plans to attend over the next couple of days, please write in with your thoughts on Phoenixville's newest restaurant. Editor Note 6/25: This has been confirmed by a couple of the commenters.
