West Chester Weekly News Roundup: Sept. 26, 2025

The easiest way to be in the know.

Upgrade | Hello podcast

It’s Friday, Sept. 26, 2025: We take a look at Iron Hill’s shocking closure. What happened and what we know about what’s next? (Ok, it’s admittedly not much.) Also, West Chester’s rental population is pushing record levels. What can the Borough do to regain some balance? One idea in particular looks pretty promising. This week, West Chester took some meaningful steps forward in welcoming some new housing options. Plus, West Goshen residents are getting scammed at record rates, and no, it’s not just seniors, nor, am I guessing, is it just West Goshen, the Best of West Chester, fall sports edition, and in honor, of the Gay Street Closure’s final 2025 weekend, I catch up with Roland Jennings, the man behind the boom box. 

Before we get started today, I wanted to acknowledge a sad, sudden goodbye.

Yesterday, at 8:47 a.m., an email went out to all Iron Hill employees announcing the closure of all Iron Hill restaurant locations effective immediately. The sudden closure was attributed to “ongoing financial challenges,” and the company acknowledged the impact that the short notice would have on employees but maintained it was unavoidable. 

“We understand that this news is coming with limited notice; however, we have been working diligently behind the scenes to secure new sources of funding and explore alternative solutions to avoid the situation. Communicating the financial challenges to the Team ahead of time would have compromised our ability to secure the additional funding needed,” the email reads. 

Seems discretion was not enough; the company will file for bankruptcy. 

Locally, Iron Hill’s 1998 Gay St. opening in the cornerstone space once occupied by Woolworth’s department store has long been credited with launching downtown West Chester’s revitalization. Opening its doors during West Chester Restaurant Fest (now the Chester County Restaurant Festival), Iron Hill drew a crowd so large it had to close for a few days to restock inventory. The success helped raise confidence among other business owners that they could do the same.

Fortunately, for the downtown business district,  it has come a long way since those first fateful days, and while Iron Hill will be missed, the Borough will move on - we’re just not sure where yet.

“We are very sad to see Iron Hill closing its doors,” Downtown West Chester Executive Director John O’Brien said in a statement. “It is no secret that the craft beer market has been struggling nationwide for years, and Iron Hill wasn't immune to that. The decision to close just happened, and I don't think there is any plan to find a replacement at this moment,” he added. 

Well, you can’t blame me for asking. As for Saturday’s Oktoberfest, Iron Hill will not be participating. This includes the stein holding contest or any other activities they advertised. You can find more on what is happening below. 

Ok, now, back to our regularly scheduled programming…    

Correction: Last week’s newsletter stated that owner Bruce Wray was leaving DP Dough. I had that backwards. Bruce Wray is not leaving. He is coming. He is actually. the new owner of DP Dough on Gay St. Apologies to Mr. Wray, and thank you to the astute reader who caught that mistake.   

A Move Towards Town(homes) 

The West Chester Comprehensive Plan, finalized in March 2016, clearly outlines the importance of housing to the Borough, stating: 

“The primary goals of the Land Use and Housing plan are to ensure compatibility among differing land uses, target development to key locations, promote neighborhood stability, ensure that new development contributes to the small-town character of the Borough, and provide for a range of housing types to support different types of households and a range of income levels.”

The plan, finalized just shy of a decade ago, specifically raises concerns around student housing, a lack of affordable housing, and housing for the Borough’s growing senior population. In this regard, it seems to have met some of its housing goals, although perhaps with unintended consequences in terms of traffic, parking, and owner-occupancy levels. New high-end complexes, such as Chestnut Square, have proven popular among both young professionals and retirees. It’s a model that developer Eli Kahn hopes to replicate at the two new West Chester apartment complexes he is building. At the same time, renting is still less expensive than owning, making it the more accessible workforce housing option.*

Good or bad, the Borough’s Zoning Code seems to have been the driver of these changes, making it easier for developers to combine lots and push through high-density developments “by right,” or in alignment with the zoning code. When developers comply with what is listed in the code, essentially following the rules established by the Borough, there is little opportunity for officials to challenge the plans, even as concerns over building height and density, and traffic and parking mount. 

Now, West Chester Borough and the West Chester Planning Commission are trying to direct development efforts in a new direction, starting with the Zoning Code.  

“There’s an opportunity to go the other way more and do something that’s scaled more consistently with development that has taken place over hundreds of years,”  West Chester Planning Commission chair Jim Cherry said earlier this week. 

Just how big is the problem? 

According to 2023 census data, Borough homeownership dipped below 35 percent (34.9 percent) for the first time since 2010, while renter-occupied properties have ticked steadily upward since 1990. Set to exacerbate the situation is the proposal (and approval) of several new apartment complexes. The problem hit fever pitch in December 2023, when Borough Council approved plans for a 128-unit apartment complex on an acre-lot at 410 S. High St. It was the third such approval in as many years. 

Together, the combined complexes stood to add 530 new rental units to housing counts, while owner-occupied builds remained stagnant. In May, Megill Custom Homes advertised that they have the Borough’s only new construction homes; their property features four-porch-fronted units on S. Matlack St. 

Positive steps forward. 

Shortly after its approval, a group of neighbors challenged the plans for 410 S. High St. and won. While the first decision is being appealed, a second similar development has been submitted. It, too, could face legal challenges. The ongoing legal battles and their costs are looming over the property. Recently, it became enough to persuade property owners to consider a new option: townhomes.

This is similar to an approach that was presented earlier this year for a property on W. Washington St. Instead of another box crammed with dozens of apartments, developers took a chance on an 8-unit townhome development. Four homes will face W. Washington St, and four more Patton Alley. Each owner-occupied unit will have space to park two cars, and there is even a small strip of green in the middle of the development. It is a design and scale similar to what was seen on the street 1935. Still, the project required a number of variances, and a Zoning Board hearing for approval.  Developers got their go-ahead to move forward Monday night, after the Borough agreed not to send a solicitor to challenge their request.

 “Everyone was pretty pleased,” West Chester Building and Housing Director Aaron Flook reported on Tuesday.

• 8 new townhomes have been proposed for 210-214 W. Washington

• Just under 40 townhomes have been proposed for 410 S. High St.

This isn’t the end for the W. Washington development, dubbed Axle Square; it's just another step toward Borough approval. As for the owners of 410 S. High, they are wrestling with decisions of their own. Townhomes are not as lucrative as an apartment complex, and with the Borough Zoning Code as it stands, they are at even greater risk of legal challenges. For residents, though, the new plan shows promise. With just under 40 units, the townhouse proposal would mean less traffic, manageable parking, lower lot density, and a sizeable lift to West Chester’s owner-occupied housing units.  

So, with the outline of a project in hand, West Chester Borough Planning Commission is working to create a new Zoning classification “Unified Residential Development Use” that would allow developers to propose Townhome Developments “by right.”  The details of the classification are still in very early stages, so we won’t go into the specifics of what conditions might be required. However, you can assume there will be requirements on height, density, parking, and location. 

You can also assume it will not do away with apartment complexes, which remain the more profitable option for owners. It will help the Borough meet its goals of increasing housing variety and maintaining character.

“A lot of [the buildings] individuals like around the Borough are not even allowed, so we’re just trying to start creating those pockets again,” Jim said. 

Want more on the background of how we got here, and what we should do about it? This article has proven great foreshadowing to the current situation. 

*Rental averages in West Chester are $1787/1BR and $2089/2BR. By comparison, the median sale price is $608,000. Assuming 20% down, current interest rates, and a standard 30-year mortgage, the average monthly mortgage payment would be around $2300/month

The Warnings.

Fight club. West Chester Police are seeking public assistance in identifying four individuals wanted in connection with a street brawl that occurred late last month. The assault took place on the 200 block of Linden Street around 1 a.m. on Aug. 31. If you recognize any of the men seen here or have information about the incident, contact West Chester police at 610-696-2700. 

This comes as news of another Aug. brawl broke earlier this month. In that fight, which involved at least seven individuals, two brothers were sent to the hospital. “I abhor violence," West Chester Police Chief Joshua Lee told 6 ABC earlier this month. "It's terrible in anybody's community, but especially ours. We don't like to see it, and it's disturbing to watch that level of violence in the video." 

West Chester police are still seeking to locate three suspects wanted in connection with that incident.

That’s a lot of lipstick. West Chester Police are seeking community help in identifying a suspect wanted in connection with the theft of $1,481 in beauty and skincare products from the Walgreens Pharmacy at 300 N. Bradford Ave. Anyone who recognizes this individual is encouraged to call WCPD at 610-696-2700.

Car fire closes Wawa parking lot. A vehicle fire lit up the Pottstown Pike Wawa Saturday evening. Fortunately, there were no injuries or damage done to the building.  

Traffic Stop Seminar. No, seriously. West Chester Police Department in conjunction with the Chester County District Attorney’s Office is holding a “Safe Traffic Stop Seminar,” at, and I am sure there is no connection here, West Chester University. The 3-hour seminar, scheduled for tomorrow starting at 9 a.m., will cover the various protocols of different stopping situations. Demonstrations will be provided. Registration encouraged.

Careful, that’s not the break. That confusion, cost Lukoil its front window last night. Luckily no one was injured. 

The Sunshine Report.

Your inside look at local government at work. Each week, key decisions are made about how to spend tax dollars, what new developments go forward, and the best way to deliver key services, like trash - and parking. The Report is here to make sure you don’t miss a single one.  

West Goshen residents lost nearly $300,000 to scams in just six months. 

Scams are on the rise in West Goshen, and Police Chief Michael Carroll says the problem has "exploded," especially this summer. At a recent Board of Supervisors meeting, Chief Carroll reported that fraud cases are up 70 percent in just the first half of 2025.

"If someone is rushing you to pay with a card over the phone, it's a scam," Chief Carroll warned. "And if you're not sure, call us."

Board Chairman Shaun Walsh asked if seniors were the main targets. The Chief's response: "No, it's across the board, even down to kids."

Supervisor John Hellmann pressed on what can be done. Carroll's answer was sobering: while education and awareness are key, most scams originate outside of the country, making enforcement unlikely.

The West Goshen Police Department says the scams they encounter most often include: Unpaid Toll Scams, Bitcoin Scams, and Jury Duty Scams.

The cost to residents has been steep: nearly $300,000 lost to scams in the first six months of 2025, compared to about $187,000 in the same period last year - a 60 percent increase.

Until next time, keep shining! - Margie

Hello.

A classically trained French chef with 30 years in the industry, Ted Thornal served under the watchful eye of Master Chef Christian Deslandes for nine years. “He taught me the disciplines of being a chef. There’s a science behind it,” he says. Ted has the background and the confidence to whip up the high-end French classics you’ll see at Parc or Jolene’s. He just chooses not to. 

“I’d rather come at it with the approach of feeding a family of four,” he says of Mistral, French and Fast, the new takeout restaurant he is opening with his wife, Michele. The casual French restaurant will operate out of the basement kitchen of the First Presbyterian Church on Miner St. (Part of an incubator program of sorts that has now helped two local chefs take a stab at their dreams.)  

Think of Mistral, which is named for the northerly wind that blows through southern France, as the stop before the family meal. The meals are not necessarily to eat on the go, nor is Mistral a destination unto itself. The dishes, which Michele describes as “rustic,” are made using time-honored recipes and quality, wholesome ingredients - but not too wholesome; there is plenty of butter and booze in these dishes. They are dishes best served warm around the family table or cold spread out on a picnic blanket. 

“It’s affordable. It’s delicious. It’s freshly made with all the best ingredients,” says Ted.   

The menu is rich in signature French stews and soups like Coq au Vin Blanc (chicken stewed in white wine), Beef Bourguignon (Burgundy beef stew), and vegetable-loaded Ratatouille. There is also a quartet of classic French sandwiches - think, Jambon-Buerre (ham and butter), Tuna and egg, or Pâté-Cornichon, a chicken liver pate with cornichons, tiny cukes pickled in vinegar.  All served on a baguette.   

The menu will also feature a rotating Global Special, an opportunity for Ted to take his skills beyond the French countryside into regions like Vietnam, Morocco, New Orleans, and the Thornal’s native Charleston, whose cuisines have been influenced by French cooking and culture. She-Crab Soup, Ted’s award-winning, lowcountry bisque, brimming with crab, and finished with a splash of sherry, will serve as the first Global Special when Ted and Michele begin serving on Saturday.  

“We’re excited about it,” says Ted. “I don’t want to say we’re going to be the best in town, but we’re going to be the best at what we do.” 

All that sound good to you? Well, make plans now. Mistral French & Fast opens at 11 a.m. and will run until 8 p.m. or whenever the food runs out. While the kitchen at First Pres offers many benefits, cold storage is not one of them. Fresh will be key. 

“It’s here until it’s gone,” says Michele.  

You can find the full menu and hours of operation here. 

Also, this week, Westtown East Goshen Police announced the launch of its Blue Envelope program, designed to help improve the department’s relationship with the autistic community. Anyone on the autism spectrum can request a blue envelope free of charge from the WEGO Police Department at 1041 Wilmington Pike. In the case of a traffic stop, individuals in the program are encouraged to remain calm and inform the officer that they have a blue envelope. On the back of the envelope is a spectrum-awareness guide for officers to follow.  

“We encourage families, caregivers, and residents who could benefit from this program to stop by and pick up a Blue Envelope,” WEGO PD shared this week on social media. “Together, we can build stronger connections and ensure that every member of our community feels understood and supported.” 

Finally, this week, Westtown Township is saying hello, to a new historic marker. Located at the corner of S. New St. and General Howe Dr., the sign recognizes the contributions of the Huey family to the township. With their purchase of the 125-acre lot in 1730, William and Jane Huey of Ireland became two of the township’s first settlers. After their arrival, the Huey family used the acreage to raise cattle and sheep, wheat, and rye, carving out a self-sustaining existence for themselves in the new land. Before the Hueys’ occupation, the Lenape likely inhabited the land and used the spring. Part of the original Huey homestead remains on the property. The site is now owned by the township.

Goodbye.

This weekend marks the last Gay Street Open Air Market of the 2025 season. By Sunday evening, the tables and chairs, the sidewalk chalk, and brightly colored umbrellas will all be put away until next spring, as will be Roland Jennings’ boombox. 

Four years ago, Roland thought the community could use a little uplifting. 

“When I was growing up, a lot of people really helped me out,” he said. “I decided to give back to the community by playing music and making people happy.”

Now, each weekend the street is closed, Roland walks, boombox in hand, blasting the sounds of Motown, Carol King, and Carly Simon. “We go back to the old stuff,” he says, anything designed to raise you when things are down. 

“Sometimes the world [with its conflicts and constant stream of bad news] is not that way,” says Roland. “It’s a nice feeling, that someone cares about you.”

Roland, who holds an official busker license with the Borough of West Chester, is sensitive to those who may not enjoy the musical interlude, moving on if it seems that too many people are not interested. However, his presence is generally welcome. 

“People love it,” he says, noting he has been recruited to take his talents to other Boroughs, which he is happy to do, just not on closure nights. “West Chester is my baby. I was born in West Chester,” he says.

As for next year, he’ll be back. Just has to renew that busker license. 

You can catch Roland out for one last time this weekend. You can also toast your last chance to dine in the streets at West Chester’s Oktoberfest. There will be $6 fall beer specials, a stein-holding contest, and, for the kids, free mini pumpkin painting at the Painted Plate from noon to 2 p.m. 

Fun fact: Stein holding competitions are a real thing. Called Masskrugstemmen, they are a traditional  Bavarian strength contest involving participants holding a liter of beer in a 5-lb stein as long as possible. A feat of strength and endurance, you must keep your stein parallel to the ground, your arm straight and unpropped, and your beer in the stein. Break any of those rules and you are out. Last man, or woman, holding wins. The official West Chester version of the tradition will be held at Bierhaul Townhouse with heats starting at 2 p.m. Finals at 3:30 p.m. (There was a second competition planned for Iron Hill but that is obviously off now.)

Finally, in some sad news, James Camburn, known affectionately as “Jimmy, the can man,” has died. Jimmy passed away on Sept. 17. He was 67 years old. Known for pushing his cart full of cans through the streets of West Chester, Jimmy was a 1976 graduate of Henderson High School. He worked at Camburn Construction Company alongside his father until a head injury sidelined him in 1989.  

“For years, Jim joined us at Penn’s Table for breakfast before heading out to collect cans for recycling. He was truly a local icon whose presence brightened our mornings,” Penn’s Table shared via Instagram. 

A West Chester legend for sure. RIP Jimmy.

The Accolades.

Best of West Chester by sport - 

Football - TBD

The battle on the football field, and it should be a battle, won’t be settled until late next month, but most other sports have secured their bragging rights. Here are the teams you should name drop next time you get into a debate over which school has the best sports program. Don’t worry, there’s plenty of evidence to argue your case no matter the school.  

Boys’ Soccer - Rustin! 

For the first time in 12 years, West Chester has crowned a new boys’ soccer champion. After beating Henderson, 1-0 at home earlier this month, they finished the task last week with a 3-2 victory over the Vikings on the road. 

“We set this as a goal and we achieved it,” said Rustin’s Joey Arabia, of the team’s desire to win West Chester. “It means so much to us.” Joey turned that desire into action, scoring the game-winning goal against East.  

Girls’ Soccer - Rustin! 

A similar outcome but with slightly fewer goals scored than their male counterparts, Rustin Girls claimed the Best of West Chester title with two single-goal wins over their crosstown rivals. First, they beat Henderson 1-0 on Sept. 8 on the road. They then took care of East with a 1-0 victory last week. Actually, after a season-opening loss to Council Rock North, the Golden Knights have been on a nine-match win streak. Shout out to the Rustin defense. The only team to score more than one goal against the Golden Knights has been Council Rock North.  

Volleyball - Draw

With three talented squads, it seemed the home court advantage was too much to overcome this season. Henderson lost to East in five sets on the road, then came back five days later and beat Rustin at home in five sets. East had a chance to grab the title last week, but all that blue and gold proved to be too much, and they faltered to Rustin 3-1 on the road. 

Field Hockey - East! 

“AND THAT’S THE DUB-C,” wce.fhockey posted on Instagram last week, after the Vikings held Rustin scoreless to take home the West Chester win. The title was secured with a Brianna Reidy goal, assisted by Sydney Krause. The Lady Vikings started their quest for West Chester glory earlier in the month with a similarly tough battle and another 1-0 win  over Henderson. In that game,  Lilly Hayes came through with the score, and Caroline Hendrickson, the shutout. 

 Girls’ Tennis - Henderson?

I couldn’t find a definitive answer on this one, but the Henderson Instagram story announcing the match against Rustin is followed by a story post announcing a win. Are the two related? As I could find no additional details about the match, I’m just making assumptions here. (Please let me know if I am wrong. I did try to reach out to Henderson Coach Peter Sok, but I didn’t receive a response.) I do know that Henderson beat East solidly, taking all seven matches when they faced each other last month. Henderson is led by Erika Dunwoody, who plays #1 singles for the Warriors. Not only can Ms. Dunwoody claim Best of West Chester (maybe) with her team, she can (definitively) count Ches-Mont League National Division Singles Champion among her accolades.  

Girls’ Cross Country - Henderson!

Back on Sept. 10, all six West Chester Cross Country teams met at Rustin High School for the Battle of West Chester 2025. In the girls’ race, the first-place finisher was Rustin’s Sophia Hnetinka with a smoking, 12 minutes and 21 seconds. Unfortunately for the Golden Knights, the next five positions were claimed by Henderson runners. Kate Bigler took second and Annie Sellers third. East’s top runner, Hanna Mento, finished 12th, and East took 3rd overall.

Boys’ Cross Country - Henderson!

The top finishers were much closer in the boys’ race, but the pattern was the same. East’s Jack Brannon placed first overall with a time of 10 minutes and 30 seconds, followed by Henderson runners in second through sixth. Rustin’s top finisher came in seventh. Henderson’s Logan Miller and Ezekial Shappell Smith rounded out the top three. 

Note: There are no Boys or Girls Golf winners named because, as best as I can tell, the three schools don’t play each other. 

Other things we are celebrating this week: 

Shining under the lights. Big shoutout to Director Jonathon Kreamer and the Henderson concert choir, which sang the National Anthem at Wednesday’s Phillies game and expertly set the stage for principal Jonathon Sherlock to show off his athletic prowess. Dr. Sherlock threw out the first pitch at the game and set the Phills up for a big win. (Sorry, kids taking bets, unfortunately, the video cuts out before the pitch was thrown.) 

Coming up big. It was a good weekend for West Chester University quarterback Cooper Jordan. First, he came up big for the Golden Rams during Saturday’s home opener, throwing for three touchdowns and running for two more in WCU’s 34-16 victory over Seton Hill. Then on Monday, he was named the PSAC Easter Division Offensive Player of the Week. Way to go, Cooper!

Country living. Just think, if you lived in Philadelphia, you’d have to drive more than 30 minutes to go apple-picking. Here, depending on where you live, you can be out in the fields in less than 10. Picking is now underway at Highland Orchards; 40 varieties are expected to be available this year, from Mutsu to Pink Lady. When they ripen varies, so if you have your heart set on a specific variety, you may want to call ahead. Picking fields are open Monday through Sunday. It’s $3 to pick plus the cost of the apples.  

Getting your name in green. Last weekend, West Chester University announced it was renaming its football field the Tomlinson-Fillippo Football Field, in honor of former players-turned-university benefactors Robert “Tommy” Tomlinson and Tom Fillippo. Congratulations to Mr. Tomlinson and Mr. Fillippo!  

Following in your father’s footsteps. West Chester University announced this week that West Chester Mayor Lillian DeBaptiste will deliver this year’s Dr. Clifford E. DeBaptiste Frederick Douglass Institute Lecture on Oct. 2. She will discuss the struggle for democracy and justice in America. The series, a tribute to Frederick Douglass, the great abolitionist, orator, and statesman, is made possible thanks to a generous donation by Dr. Baptiste, West Chester’s first black mayor, and Lillian’s dad. Congratulations to the mayor on keeping the tradition alive.

Pay it Forward.

“Also, a big deal for us - which may not be newsworthy for the greater West Chester Community - is that we are packaging our one millionth meal for the nonprofit Rise Against Hunger (RAH),” said Westminster Director of Communications Lynn George. I don’t know, one million people fed, sounds like a pretty big deal just about anywhere. Westminster has partnered with the food insecurity nonprofit since 2012.

Want to help them reach this goal? The last push is being planned for Oct. 5. Details on the event below.

Oct. 3-5 - Rise Against Hunger Meal Packing Event, Westminster Presbyterian Church
Volunteer to help package over 65,000 meals Saturday and/or Sunday, help with setup on Friday, or cleanup on Sunday. Everyone from age 4 to 94 is able to help. There will also be face painting, RAH swag, and more to celebrate! Click here to sign up or donate.

Other ways to give back this week: 

Decorate for Halloween. West Chester Public Library is bringing back its Halloween Door Tour, and it could use your help. The library is looking for residents who would like to participate by putting their expertly decorated exteriors on the tour. Tour participation is open to anyone in the Borough as long as decorating is complete by Oct. 17, and know, tour participants will not access your porch or houses at any time. All revenue generated from the tour will go to support Library programs and services.  

Whip up a pot (or 100) of chili. The West Chester Chili Cookoff is seeking more teams to participate in this year’s Chili Cookoff. Got a killer recipe? Get recognized and help contribute to a good cause by signing up to be a participating team. This year, F4 will be helping participants secure necessary supplies, making it easier than ever to take part in the fun Borough tradition. 

Clear the attic of those old books. On Oct. 4, West Chester Library is closing the streets for its first-ever, or at least first-ever reported here, book sale, and in order to get ready for that sale, they need, well, books, as well as audio-visual items in good condition. If you have any such items, drop them in the bin by the main circulation desk any time between now and Oct. 3. Just no textbooks, outdated encyclopedias, or Reader’s Digest Condensed Books, please.

The Freakin’ Weekend.

What are you up to this weekend? We are celebrating a teenager in the house. There will be pretzels, cake, and some game play at Bier and Loathing. 

If you are around this weekend, Downtown West Chester is celebrating Oktoberfest on Saturday. There will be drink specials, stein-hoisting, and pumpkin painting. Also on Saturday is the Chester County Art Walk, where the artwork of more than 75 artists will be displayed in East Goshen Park. There will also be live demonstrations, music, and food trucks. No mention of a rain date, but I would keep an eye on the CCAA Facebook page if the clouds start rolling in. Then on Sunday, DOJO Sound is holding a Flea For All Flea Market at 307 Westtown Rd. from noon to 5 p.m., and Saloon 151 is hosting Lucky Dawg Rescue for an adoption event during the Eagles games. Pups and birds or kitten heels and leopard prints? You decide.
