How many of you remember living here as kids, and wishing and dreaming we could get out of this God forsaken hole in the wall? I remember in high school thinking how horrible West Chester was, and why would anyone want to live her, let alone actually move here on purpose.
I grew up in Chester County, this barren land, that as a teenager was boring!! And now...I sit back and see that I started a family here in a place I couldn't wait to get away from. I have become so connected to so much in this community that I couldn't see my life anywhere else.
We are all so lucky to raise our families in a community that cares about each other, and I mean truly cares. I couldn't decide what was going to be my 1st topic for this websites blog, and then it hit me,. after seeing over 115 shares in less then an hour, on my post about the 12 year old missing girl, my blog topic would be Chester County. This place is amazing.
We take so much of it for granted, and it is honestly far superior to anywhere else I would ever think of living. We have such diverse cultures, landscapes, all in a very small area.
I started this page last August, because I wanted to buy and sell from other locals, instead of from people in the city etc. After 8 months of building this page, this community has come together in so many ways. We have feed families together, we have celebrated holidays for those who could not have done it on their own, we have collected money in the cold for those less fortunate, we have made new friends, we have helped our neighbors, we have helped local businesses prosper, and we have helped connect those who might never have connected.
I am so thankful for each and every one of you. To those of you who have made this road a bit rougher then I ever expected and to those who helped pave it smooth. I can't imagine what my life would be like now without you all. It has only been 8 months and this group again makes me appreciate this community, this Chester County community we are all so lucky to live in.
So on days that you are bored, wishing you were lying by a nice warm sunny beach, or a beautiful old relic in Europe, remember, this place has more then those places ever could offer, it has a community that I don't hear about from many others, and look around, Chester County truly is beautiful!! Walk the fields, enjoy the fresh air, stroll through one of our towns, eat in a small cafe, have lunch at a local park, and remember how lucky you are to be part of such a tight knit community...I know I certainly am!
Chesco...here we go!!
