Yay Phoenixville!

Am I the only one who isn't a fan of Molly Maguire's? It's nice inside and the drinks are good, but the food leaves a lot to be desired.

mollys is just ok. it's better than what we used to have. I prefer Ryan, especially for the price.

Irish food really isn't that good anyway so most of these irish pubs in the US are just replicating that type of food.

I have to agree that I like Molly's atmosphere, but the food is not up to par. Gritty potato leek soup...and the Dublin shrimp was just just boild shrimp and white rice in garlic water. Been to a Molly's in Jim Thorpe, much better.

I have not had 1 dish at PJ's that I don't like. I think their Meatloaf Napoleon is tops!! Since they too serve Smithwick's, I tend to go to PJ's a lot more.

I'm hoping the competition from PJ's, 101, and Marley's forces their hand to step it up...

I stopped into Hipster Home the other day and that store is pretty cool. I didn't expect a store like that to be in Phoenixville. I hope their doing okay. Does anyone know if they do good here?

Pretty confident that Hipster is doing an exceptional business.. In one year they moved to a building 3 times the size as where they started.. and since they have been in town have held the Best of Philly title.

Is Hipster a chain? I thought I saw them somewhere else. Who owns it?

Hipster Home is not a chain. It is owned by 2 folks that live in Phoenixville.

Public meeting to discuss future of Melchiorre Park scheduled for Nov. 29th

On Thursday, November 29th, the Borough is holding a 'brainstorming session' in which plans for Melchiorre Park will be discussed with its park planning consultants. The event will be held at the High School and will begin 7pm. For those of you who do not know about Melchiorre Park (of which I am included, even though I apparently live across the street from it), it is a 23 acre park located south of High Street on the land between it and French Creek. It appears, based on the drawing on the Borough home page , to be the land that is next to Westridge Village and across the street from the new Northridge Village community. As part of the meeting, the consultants will 'provide a brief background of the project and present a pre-final master plan for the park'. Source: Phoenixville Borough Website

Local Baker Wins on Netflix Sugar Rush

Peri Anderson, owner of Brooklyn Girl Bakery , was part of a team that won the most recent episode of Sugar Rush on Netflix. I reached out to Peri to learn a little more about her bakery: I started out taking a recreational cake decorating class with my mom when I was still living in NY. I loved it and moved to PA to be with my boyfriend (now husband), where I began interning for a bakery in Chestnut Hill. Over the course of 7 years I worked my way up from intern to pastry chef until I decided to leave in 2012. I do all of my baking in our home kitchen which is licensed and insured by the Dept. of Agriculture. Initially, I wanted to focus on wedding cakes so I immediately started contacting wedding venues in the area to see if they would include me a wedding cake vendor in their packages. I currently work with over 10 venues and several caterers in the area. While wedding cakes are my main focus, I also make cakes and cookie favors for all occasions. While I don’t have a retail loca
