Hey Phoenixville,
There is a lot packed into these seven days. Live music at Twelve78, a hometown film premiere at the Colonial, sourdough and pressed flower workshops, a car show at Reeves Park, and a Jersey Shore star doing standup just up the road in Pottstown.
It is an easy week to bring the kids too. Storytime right on the closed street, the farmers market, and a movie night out at the Audubon Center.
So grab a coffee, park on the edge of town, and plan to wander.
Here's what's happening.
Featured Event
The Philly Bookstore Crawl returns this Saturday, August 22nd, with more than 70 independent bookstores across the region joining in. Each shop plans its own fun, from author signings and special discounts to giveaways and raffles.
Best of all, our own Reads & Company at 234 Bridge Street is on the list, so you can join the crawl without ever leaving town. Grab a coffee, browse the shelves, and support a beloved local favorite. Details at phillybookstorecrawl.com.
Philly Bookstore Crawl (10 AM, Sat, Reads & Company, 234 Bridge St)
Real Estate Spotlight
In this edition of homes I think are cool, I am spotlighting a beautiful property right on edge town . Tucked in a quiet cul de sac at The Court at the Ledges, this updated 3 bedroom townhome is just a short walk to Downtown Phoenixville's restaurants, breweries, and shops.
It backs to protected open space with peaceful wildlife views from the oversized deck. Inside you'll find a renovated kitchen, gorgeous primary bath, finished lower level, and new windows and HVAC from 2022.
