ICE in Phoenixville PA today. Taylor Alley parking lot adjacent to The Foodery Phoenixville and Borough Hall.

I called the Foodery to verify.

Notice how agents spoke to people along with throwing people to ground.

Once again, you can’t clearly see which branch of law-enforcement they are with once again and masked faces.

I also have no idea if local law-enforcement was notified or not.

I have no idea who these people were they took, or if they were even illegal.

This is unnecessarily traumatic and it’s happening in our communities.

1930s Germany with social media.

Oh the continued irony as America gets ready for a big anniversary this summer. This is not what our founding fathers fought, bled, and died for. This is what they were trying to escape. If this is the way this is going to be.

I will be damned if I go to any America 250 or US Semiquincentennial anything this summer. We should all boycott these events because what we would be celebrating isn’t even represented in our day-to-day life, and I am entitled to that freaking opinion.

fireworks

I was hunting around for fireworks schedules for July 4th and stumbled upon the Phoenixville Borough website.  I am providing an EXACT screen shot of the page as of right now (5:49 pm 6/29/15) because I know without a doubt they will correct it at some point because it is such a d’oh moment….for an “official” government website.

Holy Spellcheck

Ummm dear Borough Manager E. Jean Krack? When your website and administrative wizards are not doing basic spellcheck and has been sitting like this for quite a while… well….unfortunately your inner former Coatesville City Manager self is showing…..again….Jeez ….and so NO ONE thinks I played photo shop with this, here is a time current screen shot without the highlights:

what is with this boarded up place in phoenixville?

phoenixvilleI have apparently channeled my inner bubble head and can’t remember WHERE exactly this is in Phoenixville, only it may NOT actually be the borough.  It is on Route 29.  The nice man at the Phoenixville Historical Society seems to think it is in neighboring Schuylkill Township.

Anyone know anything?  I have heard conflicting stories. Some people say it is historic, others say not historic, just abandoned but some family still owns the land.  I have heard it may have had a retail use at one time too.

Just one of those curiously abandoned structures that litter Chester County.  I figure all of them have a story.

I still do not get how people abandon their land and stuff just is allowed to rot. Sorry the photos are odd, every time I see this place I am a passenger in a car and I have to snap quickly with phone camera….
