“Yellow Springs is a historic village that now offers fine art and ceramics classes. The annual highlight is its 2-week free art show with high level works for sale.”
“the gem is the perfect place to catch a show! the sound in there is amazing. and the experience is so intimate. you really feel a connection with the artists that is so often lost these days.”
“My husband and I cannot say enough positives about Loch Aerie Mansion. The mansion is incredibly beautiful and elegant. You can feel the history as you walk through the mansion. The team that works with Loch Aerie, including John Serock Catering, VB Ellen Design, and The Master’s Baker, were all phenomenal to work with and made the wedding of our dreams come true. The food was incredible, the decor and flowers were beautiful, and our cake was out of a fairytale (and absolutely delicious!). We had our ceremony indoors at Christmastime and we couldn’t have picked a more perfect venue. The bridal/groom suites are perfect for getting ready, and the transformation from elegant ceremony space to fun dance floor was perfect! We loved that our guests could move throughout the mansion during the night, so that older guests like grandparents and great aunts & uncles weren’t stuck in the room with the DJ and could sit on luxurious couches in the front rooms to chat and drink coffee. Our experience with Loch Aerie goes beyond the beauty of the space; the owner, Dana, has really created a community, and it has been great to enter that community and attend Loch Aerie’s annual Christmas party! Loch Aerie isn’t just a venue - it felt like it was “ours” for the night - and we were so excited for our friends and family to see it! Our wedding felt stress-free and we spent the entire day enjoying ourselves due to the well-oiled machine that is the team at Loch Aerie!”
“Align Space has been a major win for my business. Lydia and Michelle are incredible and made the entire process seamless from the first conversation. They got me in quickly, and Align Space is now one of my digital offices. The environment is beautiful, the energy is focused, and the setup is perfect for high performers who want to operate at a higher level. If you run a business in West Chester, you need to be here. This place creates momentum.”
“We were so incredibly happy with everything on our wedding day. Everyone at Franklin Commons and Drexelbrook were absolutely amazing and went above and beyond in making our day special. The venue, food, and cocktails are still being raved about every time we talk with someone who was at the wedding. Everyone was so attentive to our needs and wants, especially Valentina. Working with both Kim and Hannah felt more like being with family then a strictly professional relationship, which was so important for us when choosing vendors. I am so glad we met Hannah at the wedding expo and will forever recommend Franklin Commons and Drexelbrook!”
“This community of believers is a truly wonderful, caring group of people. They have a very large and active high school and college ministry, lots of home groups. Several mission trips a year. The pastors walk in a place of humility before the Lord.
If you are looking for a place to find fellowship and to learn more about Jesus, this is the place to be!”
“A recent visit to Spring Hollow never fails to please! Tho they would prefer a 'busier' time, we love to pop in on a little less busier and off time and enjoy the quieter atmosphere that almost puts you at home but with great food and service. Got to meet Tootsie! and chat with our favorite owner/manager Debbie who makes a point of remembering and renewing a friendship even after a long time seeing you. Would highly recommend and without hesitation , working with Debbie to host and plan an event at SHGC. We have had several. They aim to please! Thank you for many special moments!”
“I met my Spring Hollow Golf league friends for Brunch today.
As always, the food was delicious.
We started by sharing the Creme Brule French Toast. It was fantastic.
3 of us had the Tempura Fried Eggs.
They are a perfectly cooked soft egg, then it is dipped in a Tempura batter and fried. When you cut into them the yolk is still perfect, they are served over a Tomato, Braised Leek Herb Cream Sauce. They are delicious.
The other two ladies had the Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict and the Classic Eggs Benedict which they both enjoyed.
All of us enjoyed the Mimosas.
If you haven't been here, you have to try it. You won't be disappointed whether it is Brunch, Lunch or Dinner.”
“I choose joy! #JOY #FEAR be gone!
And people places and things that bring me joy!
Today I planned take my delicious healthy keto lunch in a beautiful Park in West Town called
Oak
I don't know and wasn't as concerned with the history but it's pristine beautiful lands and a well-preserved building and just a good quiet place to go for a walk and take my healthy lunch. Although a number of other people had the same idea it was very quiet and very pleasant!
And you know how sometimes you get fears going in your head and waste a lot of time? Well mother Nature finally called and I begrudgingly stealed myself for the porta potty experience only to discover it was the cleanest neatest odor free and bright red portapotty I had ever seen or used LOL...
So so much for f e a r future expectations appearing real!
At this park even a porta-potty is part of the positive experience LOL
And as I enjoyed the gentle breeze with all four windows down (my car off, no AC), my sinuses began to act up and I feared once again that I would have to leave and that allergies might become a new thing for me, but lo and behold the homeopathic remedy I brought along with me worked wonders and sneezing and dripping gave way to relaxed peaceful enjoyment!
Joy can be found in tiny moments like this it doesn't need to be a momentous occasion or experience...does it?
I can take a lifetime to unlearn patterns of thinking that jump to conclusions including and especially negative ones, but the journe, and it's different destination, are so worth it!
And it's so nice that Pennsylvania is getting back to warm sunny days today is 81° and gorgeous! #YAYPA!
Do you have a funny story about something you feared that turned out to be complete nonsense, and not worth wasting your precious JOY on?”

“Our wedding at The Desmond was everything we dreamed of and more. From the very beginning, Karen was incredibly communicative, organized, and accommodating to all of our requests, making the planning process feel seamless and stress-free.
On the wedding day, Andy and his team brought our vision to life down to every last detail. My husband and I literally gasped when we walked into the ballroom—it was even more beautiful than we had imagined. Every detail was thoughtfully executed, and it truly felt like our dream wedding had come to life.
The entire weekend was perfect. Our guests loved spending time at the pub, had an amazing time celebrating at the wedding, and enjoyed the farewell brunch the next morning. It was so special to have everything in one place, creating a memorable experience for everyone.
We couldn’t recommend The Desmond highly enough. If you’re looking for a venue with an incredible team that genuinely cares about making your wedding unforgettable, this is the place. Thank you for giving us the perfect wedding weekend!”
“Short answer: top notch everything!
Long answer: I have autism, to them it ain’t an issue! It was the kindest place I’d ever been. Super fun, and a blast!”
“We held my daughter’s bridal shower at the farmhouse and it could not have been better. Dawn was the best person to work with! She was always kind and patient as well as efficient and accommodating. The food was perfect, flavorful and presented well. Our event turned out beautifully, thanks to her and her wonderful staff. Highly recommend this venue for any events you are planning!”
“My wife and I have lived here for going on 11 years. From day 1 we knew we made the right choice. Yes there are landscapers and snow removal contractors so we don’t have to do it. And yes there are contractors at times making necessary repairs. Don’t committed homeowners need to do this? With 1710 units clustered over 800 acres we have more open space not counting the golf course than most communities in Chester County. The amenities are amazing as are the vistas. Second best thing we did!”
“I haven't seen smoking bars since pre COVID but walking into this place for the first time to see a metal show and seeing I could have a drink and smoke a cigarette while watching the Phil's between bands was one of my highlights of this past year. Long live the Polish club ??????”

“My husband and I got married at Loch Aerie Mansion (across the street) and stayed at the Sheraton Great Valley. We had a room block at the hotel and also had our after-party in the downstairs ballroom. Everything went very smoothly! Kerry was incredibly accommodating, responsive, and helpful. She was easy to work with and made the room block process easy. Currently, they are under renovations, so their kitchen/bar was unavailable for our after-party. Kerry was able to help us with making alternative arrangements for our after-party for a very reasonable price. The hotel was clean and beautiful. The Presidential Suite was incredible and spacious. We were able to have many members of the wedding get ready in the suite comfortably, along with hair and makeup artists. For the wedding, the shuttle was very convenient for the wedding party and guests to use. The driver was incredibly kind!”
“Very nice hotel for the money, the rooms are always clean, and if I have any issues they always address them immediately, Raj and Vyshu are the best host, they both are very helpful and patient. For the price you can't beat it”
“Absolutely gorgeous location. The venue coordinator was lovely to work with, and there are so many beautiful historic touches that make this spot so elegant. I love that the groom's suite is just as lovely as the bridal suite! I find that some venues do a beautiful job creating a bridal suite, and the grooms kind of get stuck in a broom closet, which especially doesn't work when you have two brides who need equal amounts of space to get ready. But this venue did a great job of giving both parties beautiful spacious locations to get ready.
The ceremony spot this particular couple chose is definitely a hike for guests, but if you have a guest list who can navigate a short walk, it's definitely worth it for its gorgeous ruins. I'd love to photograph here again!”
