Senior Housing Proposed For Pottstown Riverfront
Image via Wikipedia
Evan Brandt wrote an article in today’s Mercury about a proposal from a developer to build senior housing along Industrial Highway at Evans Street.
IMHO (and I always have one) there are certainly better things to build along the riverfront than senior housing. Why are we not looking at places like Manayunk for inspiration??? http://www.manayunk.com/
The reasons given for being excited about this proposal make no sense. Seniors on fixed incomes are not going to help revitalize downtown Pottstown. If that were the case Smith & Sydney Pollock Towers would have already made an impact as they are on High Street.
If we want Pottstown to be a destination, then we need to think along the lines of Manayunk, not Sun City http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_City,_Arizona
Great project, wrong location. We oppose.

Jersey Shore’s Snooki Fined $500 And Given Community Service For Public Drunkeness
Reality “star” Snooki Polizzi of Jersey Shore fame was chastised by a judge, fined $500 and given two days of community service for creating a scene on the beach. On July 30th an intoxicated Snooki ventured onto the beach, drew a crowd (shock) and disturbed sunbathers by being loud, obnoxious and tripped over people.
Snooki stated her “performance” was not scripted when asked by the judge if this was part of the show.
Snooki left a credit card behind in her haste to leave the courtroom. An employee ran after her with it.
Snooki got in further hot water when she tweeted about Newark traffic and the Mayor of Newark threatened her with a ticket for texting and driving. Home girl can’t get a break no how.
A day in the life of a girl from Poughkeepsie…sigh
