Two great ideas. One I wrote about, one I just found out about.First is a cash mob. (You can read my piece on Philly.com )
Second is a Daily Salvo video below about a Lower Merion Township Commissioner named Lew Gould who wants parking meter use suspended on Saturdays to help small businesses during a bad economy.
Anyway, at bottom check out Daily Salvo video, but right now, check out a little piece I wrote on something called a Cash Mob. A cash mob would be perfect for Chester County Book and Music Company. After all, maybe they have an interest in staying open given the survey on their website. A cash mob descending on Chester County Book and Music would give them cash, and possibly much-needed media and public attention – but Chester County Book and Music Company can’t organize their own cash mobs, a customer would have to do it. Or a business district authority or chamber of commerce if one exists in and around West Goshen.

This would be SO perfect for Chester County Book Co! Let me know if you organize it – as there is a large FB group dedicated to Saving the Book Company!
I will put the idea out there. I am sure they have super fans who would love to do this
I think it is kinda cruel to pick on Lower Merion — it’s like taunting a guy in a wheelchair that you can beat him in the 100 meter sprint.
After all, the LM Supervisors are the bunch of people who let Philadelphia steal a $25 billion art collection by having Lower Merion sue the Barnes into bankruptcy. Definitely not the brightest light bulbs on the porch, if you catch my drift. But LM still has some Wawas –that’s something.
