Union Field 
along the waterfront in Chester, PA (Del County) is a soccer stadium that has been in the works for some time.Scheduled to open spring 2010, the MLS club, Philadelphia Union and Philadelphia Independence (women) are to call the $80 million stadium home .
Meant to be an economic catalyst for the area, there is to be a riverwalk with various entertainment, retail, and residential projects .About a dozen residents from the Union Square neighborhood, directly across from the stadium came to a a city planning meeting to chart the future of their home. The city will use the input gathered from residents over the past two weeks to craft several possible visions for the area.
Held at the Chester Senior Center it was the second step in a $67,000 urban design study on the neighborhood. Union Square will be the most affected by traffic and activity at the stadium, The neighborhood is also isolated from the development by Route 291, which cuts between the residential area and the waterfront projects. With this study, city officials hope they can plan a way to foster positive connections across the highway and revitalize the nearby blocks.
INVESTORS! Looking for property in Chester to take advantage of the new Soccer Statium complex to open next spring, call Janice at 610-764-3062
Nemours Mansion & Gardens, built in 1910, is one of those grand treasures in your own backyard that just has to be discovered.
Some $39,000,000 was spent over the last three years to restore Nemours to its resplendent majesty. Ironically the 47,000 square foot manse originally was built in 18 months.
Architects Carrere and Hastings created this palace for black powder magnate Alfred I du Pont. They also designed the New York Public Library, New York City's Frick Mansion, and Whitehall, the Henry Flagler Mansion in Palm Beach. 
It features the largest formal French garden on this continent, patterned Marie Antoinette's famed Petit Trianon at Versailles. One of the highlights is the magnificent statue Achievement - covred in 23 karat gold ---designed by French artist Henri Crenier.
Presented as a "home", not a museum there are 70 rooms spread over 5 floors - an acre under roof. Furnishings include rare French 18th century furniture and a wonderful individual collection of great art. 
Paintings in the collection are by artists that include J.M.W. Turner, James Peale, Charles Willson Peale, Peter Breugel the Younger and Frederick Remington. Decorative objects are by Tiffany, Limoges, Wedgwood, Sevres and Royal Crown Derby.
The lushly landscaped grounds and woodlands encompass 222 acres with wildlife that includes red fox, white tail deer, blue heron, red tail and red shoulder hawks, orioles, merganser ducks and native yellow-eared sliders.
The original estate was fully self sufficient with orchards, vegetable gardens, a dairy herd, beef cattle, greenhouses, a power plant and even ice-cream making machines. This landscaped jewel in the Brandywine Valley is a fitting crown for the legacy of Alfred I. duPont. His philosophy was one of kindness, fairness and responsibility. He believed that "it is the duty of everyone in the world to do what is in his power to alleviate human suffering." The charitable trust established though his will became the Nemours Foundation and continues to improve the lives of children to this day.
He asked that Nemours Mansion & Gardens be preserved and improved upon for the pleasure of the viewing public. The restoration of the Mansion & Gardens is true to the trust that Mr. duPont placed in the hands of his trustees.
Tours: The Mansion and Gardens will close for the season on December 31st, 2009 and re-open on May 1st, 2010.
