Phoenixville Featured on CNN.com

CNN.com today has a feature on Phoenixville. The article, which can be viewed here, primarily talks about BlobFest and a growing culture of people who travel to towns where their favorite movies are filmed. But it also talks a bit about the renaissance we are experiencing and how the Colonial Theatre has played a big roll role in it. Well worth a read.

Thanks to readers David, Ben and Victor for the tip!

Update 8/21/08: Thanks to my anoymous editor for the catch.

Pville just keeps 'role'-ing and we're just getting started. I love the direction the town is going and all of the exposure only makes me feel more passionately about our great little town. Keep it up!

My brother and his wife sent me this article in the mail. It was on the cover of the entertainment section in their newspaper....in MAINE!

The print article was HUGE, too. I felt very proud to be a Phoenixvillain : )
