me:
- Campus Copy
- Trade Winds Pet Center
- Fresh Grocer
- Metropolitan Bakery
- Marathon Grill
- the conference room at the Library, for community meetings
- PNC Bank & bank machine
- Last Word Bookshop
- Natural Shoe Store
- Post Office
- Fed Ex pickup at the Post Office
- Qdoba Mexican Grill
- Bucks County Coffee
- Sammy's (aka Rami's) Middle Eastern Food truck
Some of them (Trade Winds, Natural Shoe Store, Post Office, Sammy's, Campus
Copy) predate the more recent "development" of the area. And the library -
well, the library would have been a victim of the development, had not the
community organizations dug our heels in REALLY HARD. But the others are
newer
and seem like good additions to me.
