Citizens for the Train Meeting Tomorrow Evening

The Citizens for the Train, a local advocacy group looking into the possibility of building a train line from Phoenixville to Paoli, is having a meeting tomorrow night (Dec. 3rd).

From the email that was sent out to past Train meeting attendees:
---
The economic down turn has affected the way we are going to look at the next phase of the study. The demand study will need to be funded through a government-sponsored program. We have identified the program from which we could secure dollars and would like to get the consensus of the group to move forward, as well as discuss the change in direction.

The meeting will occur December 3, 2008 on the 3rd floor of Molly Maguire's. The presentation will start around 7:00 PM. Same routine as last time... free buffet and cash bar.

The Citizens for the Train is a loosely confederated group of citizens seeking to improve the transportation options in the region. We will vote whether or not seek the funding for the next phase of the study.

Please come a little early so everyone can sign in and we will start promptly at 7PM.

Please note, the location was changed today to Molly Maguire's. It had originally been scheduled to happen at the Columbia.

The meeting is open to the public. For those who cannot attend, I will be posting a follow up either tomorrow night or sometime Thursday.

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.
