Another casualty

Stopped in for a quick Caramel Macchiato at Starbucks en route to Longwood Gardens today and noticed that Quiznos, the sub place, has apparently gone out of business.
Remember when Molly's ice cream parlour was there?

Citizens

We just saw former Kennett residents Dick and Janice Taylor having dinner in Jennersville; they live at the Jenners Pond retirement community now (as does former Kennett Square mayor Ed Fahey). Dick used to own a print shop on Union Street, north of State Street. Sometime in the 1990s the borough bought it and then tore it down to make way for the Genesis parking garage.

Speaking of Kennett Square mayors.. what a shame to hear that former mayor Leon Spencer was laid off from his job at a private school in Delaware. What a great guy he is.

Unbelievable

I never thought it would happen...but PennDOT has fixed the intersection of Routes 926 and 41. No longer are there ridges that make your car bounce even if you're doing only 3 m.p.h. Whoo hoo! Thank you!

the fine print

"The Horse of the Delaware Valley" is looking for a classified ad manager. I always enjoy seeing people pull this tabloid out of their PO boxes at U-ville. First thing they look at is the social page -- ladies with fancy hats watching the Hunt Cup or the Cheshire races -- to see if they're pictured.

Newlin in the News

Best wishes for a happy retirement to Newlin's Nancy Leech Mohr, who announced her retirement as head of 2020, the conservation/planning group.
We spotted Lauren & Rob Pearson (she's a school psychologist; he's a general contractor and Newlin township supervisor) dining at one of Cool Kennett's hotspots the other night.

Extortion

So we know "who," of course, but the tantalizing question remains: what dirt did Ms. O'Brien have, or think she had, on the would-be victim? We'll see what comes out in the newspaper stories.
