Count the reasons we love this town
Local residents give us insights into what are the best parts of downtown.
Original story,”People of West Chester,” by Sabina Sister.
“I grew up moving around a lot. West Chester has always felt like home. It’s comforting. All my friends live here, and I went to high school here. It just holds a special place in my heart.”
“I do love living right in the borough. I think it’s a great town to walk. I try to walk everywhere if I have to go to the bank or the post office or to visit my daughter. I like that there are sidewalks everywhere, so you can get from one end of the borough to the other. I love to walk in the alleys.”
“I love the music and arts culture. The town is changing pretty rapidly as far as demographics, but there’s still a music and arts scene that’s underground. There are places like Sprout that are doing a great job. We also hold shows and fundraisers upstairs and open mic performances. It’s cool that there’s culture left.”
“The reason why I picked the university was how cute the town was. Everyone who comes into Limoncello is so nice, and I love to see the regulars. The atmosphere, the places to eat, the charm — I just love it.”
“I love West Chester because I think it’s the perfect mixture. It’s just the right size: it’s not too big and not too small. It has everything going on and a good nightlife. Being here every day, everyone is so friendly and excited about living here. We are all on the same page.”
