West Chester Story Slam

“Into The Wild” is the theme of the next West Chester Story Slam, which takes place at Side Bar & Restaurant on Tuesday, June 11. According to West Chester Story Slam’s website:

The word “wild” is key here. Sure, we would like to hear stories about the plains of the Serengeti, the peaks of Kilimanjaro, and the base camp in Nepal, so bring your favorite outdoorsman story with you. These stories could be about survival, beauty, or solitude. Stories about self discovery. The term “wild” can also be used in other situations that occur closer to home. Did you find yourself in the thick of a potential protest or riot? Perhaps you visited a frat house where the party got a bit out of hand?

The event is sure to bring joy and laughter with the storytelling beginning at 8:00PM. Limited seating is available, so please reserve your seats online by clicking here. Last month’s event sold out so don’t wait get your tickets today!

Borough Adds New Penalty for Smokers

its hard keeping this one on one hand and the ...

The West Chester Borough Council voted to enact a new ordinance that would fine smokers at least $100 if they’re caught littering their cigarette butts. “We have a problem with the cleanliness of our streets,” said borough council president Holly Brown.  “The cigarette butts get stuck in our brick sidewalks, and this is an effort to try to alleviate some of those problems.”

The measure passed, but not without some reservations from borough council member Chuck Christy.“I think our police have more important things to do than chase down smokers,” Christy said.  “The BID [Business Improvement District] should encourage restaurants and bars to put out more containers for cigarette butts.”

Brown said that the BID is currently working on buying a large quantity of cigarette containers to be distributed across the borough. Brown also said she got a call from a citizen who was a smoker, who said he was glad the borough was doing something. Now that the ordinance has passed it will go into effect in a monthly, Nov. 17.
