Swinging Thursday, West Chester Borough, Chester County

Last night, the girls and I went into West Chester for Swinging Thursday. This happens the first Thursday of the month, during the summer, and the borough blocks off 2 blocks and there is music, dancing, food, stuff for the children and a good time for all who attend. Last night was no exception and we tapped our feet to the beat of the salsa band. Music was provided by Jimmy Jorge and the Latin Express, and the World music of Siora!

These two little guys really got into it.

My girl Melissa Ford and her dance partner from Salsa dance class had a good time as well!

My apologies for the quality of the pictures, I only had my cell phone. Note to self.... take your camera next time!

The fun goes from 6:30 to 9:00 PM. You can eat at any of the wonderful local restaurants, or you can grab ribs and pork sandwiches like we did from Captain Dick's stand. They were the best ribs I have ever had in my life and I can't wait until next month to eat them again.

So, tune into West Chester borough on the first Thursday in September for dozens of crafters, strolling magicians, jugglers, and the TCL clown! Food vendors and local restaurants provide great eating. You won't be sorry!

Mill Creek, East Goshen Township, Chester County, PA

Mill Creek is a lovely, small neighborhood conveniently located off of Boot Road, between Paoli Pike and Greenhill, in East Goshen Township, Chester County. Mill Creek is walking distance to the Hershey's Mill Shopping center, where you can go food-shopping, get your hair done, get a hoagie at Subway, a wonderful pasta dish at Vano's (wonderful pizza too), or pick up a prescription at either the Genuardi's pharmacy or Rite Aide! Genuadi's, my favorite food store, has everything from fresh meat and seafood to a wonderful deli. Since I like the European style of shopping for what you feel like that day, I am over there almost everyday!

I have had several listings in Mill Creek over the years. All homes are 4 or more bedrooms, the houses range in size from about 2600 square feet up to about 3300 square feet. Most lots are 1/2 an acre or more. The lots are wider than they are deep, giving the neighborhood a wide open feeling.

There is currently one home for sale in this lovely neighborhood. Listed at $625,000, it sits at the end of a cul-de-sac and boasts a lovely floor plan.
