Grab yourself something hot and let’s do this.
Once upon a time for Valentine’s Day, I did a post on Instagram accounts I love. In full support of virtual escapism, I thought I’d revisit the topic with some West Chester newcomers (or newly found) who are doing their best to help us live vicariously. It’s not exactly easy to keep content fresh during a pandemic but these pages keep chug, chugging along.
The year may have just started, but we already have our first look at the future.

I don’t know about you, but I am ready to leave 2020 behind. However, before we do I thought we should take a minute to remember the people, places and things we lost this year. While some were fleeting, many were West Chester fixtures, leaving their indelible mark on the Borough.

For several years, we hit up a tree stand just north on 202. Then last year we tried the Christmas Tree Train. Which was great, but is already sold out. So where to now?
