The easiest way to be in the know.
Upgrade | Hello podcast
It’s Friday, Nov. 21, 2025: With just days to go until Thanksgiving, this issue is filled with holiday joy. We meet the new family behind West Chester’s beloved Monkey Fish Toys. “A lot of people thought we closed,” said new owner Laura Wallace. Well, they most certainly have not. We chat about the challenges of running a toy store in 2025 and all the things that make it the best job in the world. Plus, top toys for the holiday! Also, West Goshen releases its 2026 budget, West Chester approves the sewer plan – which is paving the way for a new – wait for it – chicken restaurant, and West Chester has a surprise, new family-friendly Christmas dining extravaganza. It opens today, and we have the first look. It’s a lot.
Ok, who’s ready? Let’s catch up.
