The easiest way to be in the know.

It’s Friday, June 13, 2025: This week, we take a closer look at West Chester University’s planned improvement projects, including more student housing, the pedestrianization of Church St. (college speak for closing the street), and proposed property acquisitions along High St. As Borough Manager Sean Metrick put it, “It’s almost a comprehensive plan for a city that lives within this city.” Also, the mystery of the missing Jack’s Corner cafe tables, solved, a Gay Street closure update, and a lasagna-only restaurant opens in West Chester. Garfield must be in heaven somewhere.

Who’s ready? Let’s catch up.
