Brandywine Valley / Chester County, Pennsylvania
A weekly look around the valley.
Hey. I write Brandywine Buzz every Tuesday morning, a weekly look around the valley. The good weekends, the social scraps you missed, what's getting built, and the little history leftovers worth knowing. Short, useful, a little funny when it earns it.
Drop your email. I'll show up Tuesdays.

Pumpkin weekends and a poorhouse cemetery
Hot picks
Chester Springs · Sat Sep 26 · 10–4
Fourth-year harvest day on Pickering Creek. Fresh farm cider, milling and bread demos, artisan tables, Blue Belles and the Lenape Brass Band. Kids get first-responder vehicles. The 1747 mill doing fall the right way.
Cider Fest
The scrap
Delco-Chester orbit · Wawa sidewalk
Somebody clocked in for a shorti and got a near-perfect pop-punk concert.
