The easiest way to be in the know.
It’s Friday, Sept. 12, 2025: Last year, the bestselling book The Anxious Generation tied smartphone use to the youth mental health collapse. Then the Surgeon General called for warning labels on social media. Not waiting for others to act, a group of local parents has decided to take action in hand, or rather, out of hand. What they are proposing and why they hope you will join.
Plus, a parking update, a visitor drove from Kennett Square this week just to warn the Borough on how bad things have gotten, a buzzy new coffee chain is eying a prime West Goshen location, and The Beans hopes to bring the story slam tradition back to the Borough. And that’s just the start of it.
