The easiest way to be in the know.
July 3, 2025: Happy Thursday! This week, your favorite weekly newsletter is coming to you a day earlier, so you can get all the gossip and still enjoy a nice, long weekend. Cheers to that, right? But first, West Chester Restaurant reports are out for June. Violators include a smoothie shop in need of a good scrubbing and several locations caught serving foods beyond their expiration dates. Also, definitive closing dates for all area Rite-Aids and what’s happening with the prescriptions held at each, the best firefly viewing, and one road in West Chester that PennDOT will be paving.
Short and sweet this week, as summer intended. So, grab something frosty and let’s catch up.
From around the state: The state Senate and House passed a bill allowing the Pennsylvania Lottery to use more of its earnings on player payouts. They hope the change will raise more money for older Pennsylvanians.
Also, in honor of the birth of our nation, free speech, and importantly free press – this week’s issue is free to all. So, please share far and wide. Informed communities make the best communities. And we’re pretty great. Happy 4th, everyone!
