  If you have never been to a First Friday in West Chester,  is it fun!!!! Go on this web site and see what's going on. http://www.downtownwestchester.com/ Now is when we start seeing the benefits of living near a college town. But lets face it, spring is really sprung, right?  (think positive)  ...

Over the past two days I went out and about previewing properties in some of the BEST neighborhoods of the school district.   Was I ever impressed!  When you see an average of 20 houses a week in your business, it is not too often that you get impressed, but I am impressed with what is out there ...
