Good morning, West Chester.

This November, Chester County offers fall events including a Fertility Dreams Foundation gala for IVF funding on Nov.

8 in Exton — a Fashion For All event on Nov. 19 in Wayne, a symphony concert on Nov. 21 at Valley Forge Middle School in Wayne, a Holiday Light Parade on Nov. 22 in Kennett Square with a tree lighting and Santa, and a Turkey Trot on Nov. 27 in Wayne to benefit the Children’s Hospital — presenting a variety of local activities.

Playa Bowls in Exton will open early November under WCU undergraduate Leo Khugaev, offering healthy bowls in a busy Pottstown Pike corridor.

The restaurant will operate daily from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. & host a week-long giveaway before its grand opening.

La Peña Mexicana in Kennett Square was named one of the region's most reliable places to eat after consistently serving high-quality meals from a shed modeled on an old gas station.

Owner Julian Peña broadened his menu from a homey taqueria (after his food truck crashed) to include seafood dishes like spicy deviled shrimp served with rice and beans (a popular side dish) while offering both dine-in and takeout.

Today, the moon is making its closest approach of the year and will shine 14% brighter as it rises at 4:07 p.m. over Philly, offering a striking view for election voters casting ballots tonight — a supermoon event that highlights its rare brilliance.

After the government stopped SNAP benefits on Nov 1 during a month-long shutdown, student visits at the WCU Resource Pantry jumped from the usual 50 to over 100 on some days as rising food costs drove more need.

Gov. Shapiro declared a disaster emergency on Oct 31 and set aside $5 million for food banks while judges ordered benefits to be paid by Monday or partly by Wednesday—leaving SNAP card reload details uncertain.

The West Chester borough honored longtime real estate developer Stan Zukin by naming the 100 block of North Walnut Street 'Zukin Way' on November 3.

The street naming celebrated his decades of work downtown—his projects include early efforts like Thatcher’s Pharmacy—and 125 community members attended the unveiling.

The Eagles acquired LB Jaelan Phillips from the Miami Dolphins in exchange for a 2026 third round pick— the move comes ahead of today's NFL trade deadline at 4 p.m.
