IN TOWN: Happenings on State Street

On Thursday a friend called while driving through downtown Kennett, distressed that a couple of street trees were being cut down near the American Legion hall and the library. She asked me what was going on. I asked Kennett Square Mayor Matt Fetick, who explained that the removals had been carefully reviewed and approved by the borough's Shade Tree Commission, possibly because the roots were damaging nearby buildings, and the trees would be replaced.
Another friend asked what was going on at Frolic!, the clothing shop at the northwest corner of State and Union Streets: all the merchandise had been removed and there were people inside cleaning. I found out that the store closed and Houppette, the high-end cosmetics boutique in Greenville, Del., is opening a branch there.
