It’s Friday, Aug. 1, 2025: Restaurant Inspection Reports are out for July. With just eight out of compliance, it was a relatively light month. Still, there is evidence that insects are starting to take advantage of this summer’s humid conditions. Plus, as the daycare crisis continues, two state-certified facilities would like you to know, they have openings for fall. A (really) early scoop on a new French restaurant, a middle school principal shake-up just ahead of the school year, and a big announcement. Just keep reading.

Ok, who’s ready? Let’s catch up.

So, some BIG news this week – Hello, West Chester has its first-ever regular contributor, and I couldn’t be more excited. Margie Swart, the investigative genius behind West Goshen Sunshine, is joining the team! Don’t know Margie? You should. I quote her work regularly; now I will be doing it officially. Not only will she help me to better cover government activity outside the Borough, her research skills are unmatched. She is, after all, the one who first uncovered an alleged $13 million COVID antibody test fraud in Chester County – and was the first to break the story on the new Target.

Each week, or as meeting schedules dictate, Margie will be bringing the sunshine through her new “Sunshine Report.” She’ll track public meetings, spotlight key upcoming decisions (so you can make sure your voice is heard), and generally keep you informed and empowered. We already have our first “Sunshine Report,” and I promise you, it’s even better than you imagined. If you don’t already follow her on Facebook, you should do that now, and if you know Margie, make sure you welcome her to the team!
