East Whiteland wants a pat on the back for updating their website where it concerns the data center? Here’s the link but don’t expect a pat on the back from me:

https://www.eastwhiteland.org/news_detail_T2_R315.php

If they want praise, then they can stop the data center, right?

I am quite honestly sick of the municipal soft shoe here, aren’t all of you? This project IMHO will be worse and more destructive that Foote Mineral the EPA superfund site it’s being built on. Note I said in my humble opinion/IMHO.

Also IMHO? They should have said no and could have said no when Charlie the fig wanted a hydrogen hub in West Whiteland way back when right?

Now stockbroker turned developer Charlie is getting pissy on his LinkedIn and seemingly defensive according to this screenshot isn’t he? I ditched LinkedIn as a useless social media appendage a few years ago now, so this was sent to me as it is currently circulating as curious, right?

The eternal puzzle of course is how is there work going on over there at Foote if they don’t have the green light letters from AQUA or PECO? And crushing what exactly and does the township, PA DEP, and EPA give a f😡ck?

Of course what is most amusing about this LinkedIn rant are this dude’s assertions that without his data center we will have no cell phones, no Internet, Netflix, etc etc? Oh ok we’ll wait for the proof that his ever changing project is for all of that right? I mean especially since we have all of these things without his community and environmental killing project now right? And I guess he and big orange are best buddies since he makes a misleading national security statement?

Is he like freaking Moses with the electronic Ten Commandments or what?

Here’s his excellent website this morning FYI:

(Tried several different browsers so far and if he can’t put up a consistent or basic website, East Whiteland wants to trust him with a data center? 🤣)

Here’s the website of the New York crew: https://sentineldatacenters.com/

Note that they are in Louden County Virginia:

So Charlie the fig seems to really want his data center? How’s about putting it in his front yard in Willistown then? What could possibly go wrong?

I will close with a video from Louden County, Virginia…the place East Whiteland didn’t know about when starting the data center journey back when Rich Orlow and Sue Drummond were still supervisors but couldn’t have been bothered checking out before they started down this path to hell, right? And then when was it in the last year or so that they said they spoke to Louden County, Virginia officials and still did not get it? They never physically went to visit did they?

Well here East Whiteland Township, watch this you collective of data center-centric idiots. This is what you are dooming us to:

Oh and read this:

Frazer Antique Market

Yesterday I wandered into my favorite haunt to celebrate day 1 of the first anniversary weekend of the rebirth and rejuvenation of a beloved local business.

Now under the direction of Kristin Smith of Smithfield Barn fame, it is an absolute wonderland of antiques, vintage finds, and artisan crafts people. With Kristin at the helm, it is an ever changing kaleidoscope of wonderful!

Yes I essentially have frequent flyer miles, but I love the place!

This weekend, there are special treats every day to celebrate this market. Antique markets used to be plentiful in this area, now they are more scarce than hens’ teeth. this market is shopping local and it’s wonderful.

on “targets” and b-i-bizness in east pettyland?

A comment on social media led me to take a little dive into the September meeting of East Pikeland Township. Please note I have renamed it East Pettyland Township. and before the old dog, Ron Graham gets his knickers in a twist, covered under my first amendment rights. (just wanted to save him on his solicitor bills since he said at this meeting that he’s basically has lawyers and stuff around because he’s being “targeted” or he’s a “target”.

So this was the comment that made me go look at their most recent meeting, which thankfully are now being recorded by residents.

Also, at last months meeting Ron said he has to have the lawyers around for everything, because he is being “targeted”. Then implied I am the one targeting him 🤣 So around here, when you ask elected officials questions, it means you are targeting them. If you need a lawyer present at all times to cover your ass, that is on you, and highly suspicious.

It appears in the above snippet of the meeting in public comment. And I have to ask is it no longer good to be king? The option is dude can retire, right? But then he’s no longer king so heavy as the head that wears the crown I guess?

Humor courtesy of First Amendment and YouTube

Other things of note? The police reports apparently they have a lot of domestic and mental health calls? Is there something in the water? I mean, I guess we can ask that question since this township is home to its own super fund fun, right?

Also, they seem to be missing a zoning officer now and why did she resign? Or leave?

Here is the full meeting video from September. Always fun times in this municipality right? And what is with the voice of the new supervisor? I mean he’s like dopey doperson isn’t he?

East Pikeland a.k.a. East Pettyland doesn’t seem to like that the public has taken an interest in where they call home do they? And why is it every time someone asks a question there’s always this like pat response (paraphrasing) it’s not personal, it’s business?

what are we?

I had a rather disturbing conversation with someone I know the other day. It was about a man walking in a neighborhood that people don’t believe was his own shouting at someone who did live in the neighborhood and it was vile.

The man was shouting at someone whose skin color was different from his. Literally, shouting, expletives and “Go back to your own country!”

Is this what we have become?

Isn’t it time for politicians on both sides of the aisle to start addressing these things?

We are a nation of immigrants quite literally. And some of those brown skin people that people like to be offensive towards and about are our Native Americans, and they were here first. And of course the Inuit people of Canada, Geeenland and Alaska. if you research crime against native peoples, there is a lot of crime against both.

Native Americans faced crimes against them twice the amount of every day US citizens. Inuit people do not fare much better although the crimes against Inuit people are tracked more in Canada.

This country is a giant melting pot. We are many ethnicities and races and religions. Why is one better than the other? Why can we no longer respect the differences in one and other?

elizabeth moro has josh shapiro stumping for her? so is she really against data centers?

A commercial appeared when I was watching the 6 o’clock NBC 10 news today. It was a replay and it had a commercial from PA state representative candidate Elizabeth Moro. She is running against Craig Williams again in the PA 160. There she was in a farm field in a plaid shirt, and one of the things mentioned is how she would help her constituents against data centers.

Umm really?

(Mind you I’m not saying Craig Williams is fabulous either when it comes to data centers because he’s a bring your own energy guy which means a potential power plant next door to your residential street.)

This is is not an endorsement for Craig Williams. This is just pointing out the simple fact that while Elizabeth might be a nice human being with a great local business, she’s possibly not your gal for state representative if Josh Shapiro is stumping for her.

Why?

Again it’s simple: data centers and what they really mean to our Governor.

I told all of my readers a few weeks ago now that if a candidate really isn’t for protecting the people against hyperscale data centers, they aren’t your candidate no matter what political party.

Elizabeth is a Democrat and honestly, maybe it would be nice to have one down there in the 160, but not at the expense of the people if she’s not really against mega scale hyperscale data centers OK?

So Elizabeth can either truly be against data centers or just be truly interested in a girly squeaky way wearing high heels with her jeans and her plaid shirts and posing for photos with Governor Josh Shapiro.

I noticed the more folksy touch from her with the plaid shirts in a farm field and elsewhere, and then I saw a picture of her with Governor Shapiro and she had the high heels on with the jeans and that is I’m sorry just too 1980a college for me. Heels are also not farm field attire are they?

Step apart from the corporate Democrat pack Elizabeth. Truly be against data centers (which are gobbling up farm fields like the ones you have been posing in.)

You can’t be a little bit preggers here as a candidate in PA over data centers, so spell it out. Be very specific, do not be a generalist.

Previous to this, Elizabeth has run for this PA state house seat before (against Craig Williams) and for Congress (she withdrew because of redistricting.)

fall is still a season of change.

You know, as a kid fall was always almost anticipatory. The weather started to change you got new clothes for school and so on.

As we grew older, grew up, got out of school started our lives fall was still a season of change. The way you can feel the weather changing at night, literally the air changes.

But now in later middle age, fall is changing again. I have friends just a few years older than I who are retiring.

Today I said goodbye to one such friend. We first met as young girls quite literally. She went to school with my cousins and was first their friend, then a close friend of another childhood friend of mine. We became actual real time friends after we realized she lived a few miles from me in Chester County.

Once upon a time, she and I even worked at the same company. For me, I took a temp position because I wasn’t sure if I would like it, and she began in a full career trajectory that took her from Philadelphia to other places in the country and back again.

This is now my first friend who is officially becoming an American ex-Pat and moving to Europe. I’m very excited for them. I think my friend and her husband will have grand adventures.

I also think they’re really brave. After all, it’s not easy to literally sell your home and pack up your life and move to another country.

But given what this country has devolved into, I can’t say that I blame them. They will always be Americans, but they have a rare opportunity at a really fun next chapter.

Today we met for lunch to say goodbye. We met locally at Anthony’s in Malvern and we both can recommend their new fall menu. (Specifically the artichoke appetizer and the fall grilled cheese. Yes, we both had the same thing.)

We had a good yak, and a couple of almost tears, and a bunch of hugs. I will miss her, but look forward to visiting once they are settled, and look forward to seeing them when they occasionally come stateside.

Yet still, I felt like in a weird little way I was losing a piece of my childhood. Which is probably not particularly rational.

It’s more emotional.

After all, we weren’t the closest to friends growing up. We just kind of knew and were aware of each other through other people, but there’s still that feeling.

And then there is the general sadness with understanding that people I know in this country are actually for real leaving this country because America is so fractured. I can’t blame them. And most importantly, I can’t blame them for wanting an adventure for the next chapter. To me, it sure beats moving to Florida or some other retirement centric state.

I wish my friend the very best. But it’s not goodbye forever, just relocating.

Thanks for stopping by.

welcome to west vincent, and can SOMEONE give them social media lessons and save the taxpayers money? is this now a malicious municipality?

I thought West Vincent seemed quiet, which made me think they were cooking up crazy. Well yep. There is a court docket. It’s welcome to crazy town that they filed against a former employee so when this is all done and dusted will this just be plain old harassment of some sort? I don’t know which is why I am asking the question.

Another question: if something was filed September 3rd, wouldn’t it have been referred to obliquely as an executive session item at their most recent meeting which was September 21st, 2026? Here you listen to the snippet where it was mentioned that there were NO executive session anythings from Chairwoman Bobblehead:

Yeah nothing and really strange, right?

Went back to August. Mention of something “potential” and “township property” but no mention of PROCEEDING with anything or did I miss something? You listen:

Imagine my surprise when this popped up:

Say what?

So yeah, a filing:

West Vincent filingDownload

Read it. It’s bananas and if you are a West Vincent resident and/or pay any kind of taxes YOU are paying for some pretty amazing bullsheit in my humble opinion.

Your eyes do not deceive you….the manager and solicitor of west Vincent Township are trying to sue Kristina Casey, former employee (township secretary? assistant township secretary?) over a Facebook Page she is no longer part of and an Instagram page she was never part of. By “part of” I mean specifically administrator.

This fuckatorymagnimus has been going on for what? 14 or 15 months?

Let’s recap:

When Ms. Casey worked for the township, a Facebook page was created for West Vincent Township because well they were among the few that doesn’t have one:

It had 1700 or so followers.

So how do you create a Facebook page? Under your personal profile. Then after creation you can add other admins and moderators.

When Ms. Casey was leaving West Vincent as far as I can tell she wanted to TURN THE PAGE OVER TO SOMEONE ELSE IN FREAKING WEST VINCENT TOWNSHIP TO RUN, right? Never happened. And apparently at first world genius and Manager Tommy Ryan didn’t have a Facebook page.

Then all this Who Shot John (one of my late PA German grandmother’s favorite phrases) started and Ms. Casey kept repeating that she WANTED to turn it over but someone has to ACCEPT it.

Here are some screenshots:

Yeah ummmm okayyyy. And over the course of the time that has passed since Ms. Casey left and now it has been crazy town right? Some kind of private investigator on the township dime? But my favorite was township manager wanting the PASSWORD to the Facebook Page.

Umm hello? Not how it works. When you set up a page, there is an underlying individual Facebook profile but that account’s password belongs to the individual with the individual Facebook profile. When a Facebook page changes hands, it goes under someone else’s individual Facebook profile and they already have their own password….they don’t get Ms. Casey’s password…that would be against Meta rules and possibly illegal right?

Wait let me back up to the investigator who was also hired to sweep….wait for it…West Vincent Township for bugs. How very MI5 CIA of Tommy Ryan, right?

For real:

Real Twilight zone stuff right? Meanwhile Mr. Dopey Manager Dude gets a Facebook profile for himself with a West Vincent logo and a new Facebook page linked to some Instagram page:

And then I found this and have zero clue what that is about:

West Vincent also has an Instagram page…excuse me TWO Instagram pages….set up by someone else:

I asked around and apparently that person set one up a few years ago before Ms. Casey was employed. Seems like this woman who also is no longer at West Vincent must have lost her password, and started a second Instagram page. Her name is Maria. But none of this is something Ms. Casey has access to, so they seriously think she needs to give them control of this account or something? Whose on first here??? Why don’t they just talk to the Maria lady?

I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THIS TOWNSHIP. I also do not understand why and how west Vincent Supervisors are OK with all of this? I mean don’t the supervisors know how Facebook works? I am only sharing two profile screenshots because the new guy has a photo of his kid for a profile photo.

This is bananas and what is WRONG with this manager?? Are the civil rights of Kristina Casey being violated? Isn’t this like she being persecuted most unfairly?

Good lord residents of West Vincent Township are you paying for this? If so, any single one of you could be next and why is this dude a manager? Once upon a time the question was asked if the state needed to come in and manage this township, makes a body wonder if they should be invited to, doesn’t it?

Please note this post is brought to you by the First Amendment and what is publicly available. And make sure you like and follow the NEW West Vincent Facebook page for drivel. I think at the end of the day ol’ Tommy wants to be adored even if that would be a cold dark day in hell?

oh ok, the current west vincent township manager and that federal law suit from east cocalico which seems to have reactivated and other curiosities….as the west vincent turns lives large, eh?

very disappointed in chrissy houlahan and her staff.

You know when Chrissy Houlahan was first running for Congress, I was honestly excited back then. I thought she was so nice.

That was 2018.

That was then, and this is now. And lots of people are pretty disillusioned with her. Part of the problem is is that she has been so handled and shielded since she was elected by the Democratic Party. You literally can’t talk to her unless you’re like some big deal. If you go and participate in one of her Town Hall meetings, your questions need to be approved ahead of time, and that doesn’t matter if you’re in person or like on some big Zoom call or phone thing.

If you contact her, her staff is really nice and you might get a form letter in return, but don’t hold your breath waiting for your actual letter topic to be addressed. i’m literally not making this up. I have experienced it and people talk about this all of the time. There is actually one person I know who was very hurt by a lack of response by his Congresswoman. A man who literally helped make the Democrat Party in Chester County.

I am just disappointed.

And so is another local resident and constituent who contacted Houlahan’s office about a freedom of information act request AKA FOIA request being stalled out by the EPA.

This local resident has literally I think been trying to get an answer since I think April? So that’s like five months right? And no less than 10 phone calls on the topic to Houlahan’s office?

Why was she contacting Houlahan in the first place? EPA FOIA lack of response. And this is the response from EPA staff (finally) on September 8, 2026:

Obviously, this has to do with the East Whiteland data center, which is on a federally noticed super fund site known as Foote Mineral.

So are we to presume it took five months to circle the wagons here? Is something being hidden from the public? Do you guys think that this is acceptable? Why is a congressional office so hand’s off in assisting with a federal level issue?

I mean, who can we count on as residents in Chester County?

If you’ve ever submitted a right to know request, you’re familiar with the dance that often occurs. It’s whatever state municipality or agency you’re contacting asking for an extension. But five months for an excuse laden non-response?

I don’t know and I’m still asking as I close this post, is this EPA woman’s response ineptitude or by design?

Do better, Congresswoman Houlahan. You keep asking for us to continue to vote for you, but you’re not giving us a reason why anymore. This is a basic kind of thing that staff should be able to research and get a response to other than this. From April until September 8? Totally unacceptable, bureaucratic bullsheit, don’t you think?

It makes me really sad.

This person never actually got a response from Houlahan’s Office.

And I know she’s not the sharpest tool in the drawer, so they need to point out to her that she’s a politician and fair game and everyone can mock her.
