Sinclair's Sunrise Cafe & Tearoom, 127 E. State Street in Kennett Square, is the place to see and be seen -- as I found out on a recent rainy Tuesday morning. I met borough council member Dan Maffei for coffee there to chat about his new landscaping business -- and ended up getting three additional stories while I was at it.
1. Dan's new business is Maffei Landscape Design (http://www.danilomaffei.com/) After 15 years at W.D. Wells & Associates, Dan said he decided to go out on his own "in response to an evolving marketplace and the desire to provide a more personal, customized experience for my clients." Dan and I had a terrific, wide-ranging discussion that would have gone on into the lunch hour, were it not for my expired parking meter.
2. Sinclair's has had a lovely makeover. In the words of owner Lynn Sinclair: " `History and Heritage' is the theme, with plaid wallpaper resembling the Sinclair tartan and a bit of Kennett or family history tucked beneath each of the glass table tops."
3. Former borough council member Doug Stirling has started a new gig, doing the morning news broadcast on WCHE (1520 AM) weekdays starting at 7 a.m. In addition to now being a very early riser, Doug is a member of the Kennett Consolidated School District school board and pastor at Kennett Square Bible Methodist Church.
4. The West State Street restaurant formerly known as Challie's, which closed a few weeks ago, will become "Lily's Sushi Bar & Grill." And the former owner of Challie's will be doing his famous lunches just across the street at Portabello's restaurant.
