It’s Friday, Nov. 6, 2026: This week, we take a tour of the new Refillery Station on E. Street Rd. The idea of taking the product and leaving the waste has spawned a growing industry that’s expected to top $6 billion in the next 10 years. We explore the pros and cons with owners John and Kristen. Plus, for the last two years, West Chester University students have operated a live music venue out of their basement. The live music scene isn’t dead. We just needed someone to DM us the address.
Also, we meet high school students celebrating the right to vote, look at what’s behind a tax increase for East Bradford residents, and Restaurant Inspections are out for October. A little bit of everything this month, including rodents, expired products, dented cans, and beehives. Yep, beehives.
We have a fun one today, if I do say so myself. I don’t say this often, but if you’re not already a paying member, maybe this is the day you join? No pressure, but I think you’ll find it worth it.
Ok, who’s ready? Let’s catch up.
