UPDATE 3/11: It appears that the cars have been removed.
As a Northside resident, I have been witness to the collection of burned out vehicles that started to appear in the park on Mowere Rd. in January. There was no explanation for their appearance until the Phoenix ran an article on Feb. 17th indicating that the cars were to be used by the fire department in an effort to receive the '1006 Core Rescue Certification in Vehicle and Machine Rescue'. The article then went on to say 'Gable said once the training is completed, the vehicles will be removed from the property by Pejey's Auto Body, Phoenixville.'
Well, its now March 9th, training finished up on the 22nd of February, and the cars remain. Since Councilman Senley has all but dropped off the grid, I have decided to email our other councilman, Mr. Richard Kirkner. I urge other northside residents to do the same. His email address is rkirkner@phoenixville.org.

"Bodies in the room" usually gets results.
I've emailed Senley on issues and had him respond. My impression is that he was only cutting back his blog, but he can certainly speak for himself.
The recession happened and Friendship Field went into cost overruns. We're maxed out with the state and the county.
It will take $5 million dollars to create Veteran's Memorial Park. Donations from Northridge residents (who can probably afford it) will make it happen faster.
As far as Councilman Senley, he has quickly proved he is not up to working on a government council. He has zero people skills and he has proven to be lazy, lazy council person.

" I was also wondering about the liability of a town employee giving out liquor to the public during a town sponsored event.
Anyway....I could have predicted the closing of businesses in the downtown. Thats why we left. No customers. March is our 2 year anniv. since moving our business out of the downtown. Best move we ever made. Heck, we are paying less rent on the main line and we have more customers. Customers with JOBS! All Barry could do when we left was bad mouth us. What a lovely town leader! Barry wont leave Phoenixville, He is the king there. King of loser town! What a claim! And his blog just proves his unprofessionalism!
I dont think the rumor was Elle was closing. I think it was Ellie SHOULD be closing. Just got mixed up in whisper down the lane. Its nice for a junk shop with outdated merchandise! I always feel good knowing she is in her sidewalk chair, talking on the phone, puffing away.
Phoenixville is just a drinking town. Barry knows it, hence his bar expansion plan. A bar on every corner, and then some.
Yes, the town is great for arts and beer. Yes, we will wait and see first fridays are crowded. People will flock for free music and beer. But day time retail is just not there. At all. So if you like having a business that does well with drunks, 1 friday per month, then Phoenixville is the place for you!
Happy to be out of Pville, Michael Weinstein @ Charmingly Lindas Quality Consignments. "
Your comments are just rude and un-called for! Just because your store had issues doesn't make it ok for you to bad mouth anyone! It just shows your ignorance! Obviously your jealous! Ellie has been there for many years! Good luck on your store, and what is it again? Because honestly for you being around for a few years, I haven't heard of you or your GREAT store! If it was so great how comes you didn't stay?
