Welcome to the new Coatesville Roundtable. It's not really a blog ... more of a forum where readers are free to express their thoughts on the news out of Chester County's only city.

This replaces the popular Coatesville Sidebar, but I expect the same spirited discussions. My posts will be short, acting more like threads on a message board, just enough to get the debates started. If there is something you'd like to comment on, and you don't see an appropriate topic, contact me at jtuleya@dailylocal.com.

Also, if anyone has suggestions for a better name than Coatesville Roundtable, you have my attention.
