Well, my vacation to Chicago and Ocean City, MD has ended. It was a great time. I was very impressed with Chicago, especially its architecture. I took a boat ride on Lake Michigan and also ate some authentic deep dish pizza.

It seems like I returned to West Chester during a busy week. Borough Council will meet at 6:30 tonight to discuss allowing a liquor license for a Thai food restaurant that wants to move into Rex's Bar on West Gay Street. As I wrote before, the fate of this hearing may determine if Donald Moore, the owner of Rex's, opens up a music venue and theater on East Market Street or not.

On Wednesday, council will hold another hearing regarding plans by First National Bank of Chester County to build a nearly 100-foot building downtown, so they can create a corporate headquarters. That meeting is at 6 p.m.

And on top of all that, council will hold its work session Tuesday at 7 p.m. and its voting session the following night at 7 p.m.
