Things In Coatesville Still Not Great

As you might’ve heard, there have been 13 arsons in Coatesville in the last four weeks, including one on Saturday that burned 15 homes.

Sadly, though, for Coatesville’s residents, things are going to get worse before they get better. Case in point: The Guardian Angels are coming to town! Curtis Silwa and his crew did such a bang-up job patrolling SEPTA, they’re headed to Coatesville to… I dunno, walk around and try to catch someone setting more fires.

And even the city’s charity isn’t working out: The Coatesville Memorial Community Center has put a stop to collecting food and clothing: “The community center at 99 9th Ave. in Coatesville has so much donated clothing that it is hard for it to provide all its normal recreation activities[.]”

Oof. Is there anything people out there can be happy about? Why, yes! The West Chester Daily Local — which did this amazing year-end video — has a new video out with the same awesome narrator. I think he’s doing a Walter Winchell impersonation, but I can’t really be sure. You know what? Forget the other links in this post. You really need to hear the first 10 seconds or so of the video.

‘Joe Biden Picks A Puppy’

I encourage everyone to head over to the website of The Daily Local News (out in West Chester) and view this 2008 year in review video.

It’s pretty much the best year in review anyone could possibly do; the narrator uses a great voice that sounds like a parody of John Facenda, and the video suddenly, randomly ends with, “Joe Biden picks a puppy!” and a prediction for an Eagles’ Super Bowl win.

In other year-end news: Last night, on the Channel 69 news, the #1 story of the year was Obama’s election. The #2 was the debut of the Lehigh Valley IronPigs.

Everyone knows you need 30 people for statistical relevance

Gee, and here I thought the 29 person poll was scientific. Thanks for the disclaimer.
