The easiest way to be in the know.

Upgrade | Hello podcast

It’s Friday, Mar. 6, 2026: This was not a good week, West Chester. An illicit discharge of chemicals into Goose Creek left fish and wildlife dead, and residents with questions. On Monday, the PA Department of Environmental Protection confirmed West Goshen firm ATMOS was responsible for the incident. We have new information on the spill, but also a few questions about the company behind the incident. (I’m pretty sure the PA DEP comms team is sick of us right now.)

Plus, a West Chester restaurant was closed due to rodents, a measles case was confirmed in the county, West Chester University’s new brand initiative gets skewered, and we have the history of the now-demolished Bird in Hand barn.

Ok, brace yourself, and let’s catch up.
