More Good Things  

Posted by Mr. Ellsworth Toohey

My kid brought me home a Lavender Vanilla cookie from the Handcrafted Cookie Company on Main St. last night. It had to be the best cookie I ever tasted. It is just a little hole in the wall with a few tables but the product packs a punch. $2 for 2 cookies are reasonable and worth it. I would suggest you wash it down with a Ginger Beer.

It appears they do a lot of business with their mail order cookie dough. It is like $10 for a batch of dough. This is their retail location. I hope it does well. It could be one of those narrow markets that succeed. The cookies need to draw the people away from the coffee houses if it wants to sell anything else though. Check it out. The cookie of the month is Oatmeal Raisin.

" I was also wondering about the liability of a town employee giving out liquor to the public during a town sponsored event.

Anyway....I could have predicted the closing of businesses in the downtown. Thats why we left. No customers. March is our 2 year anniv. since moving our business out of the downtown. Best move we ever made. Heck, we are paying less rent on the main line and we have more customers. Customers with JOBS! All Barry could do when we left was bad mouth us. What a lovely town leader! Barry wont leave Phoenixville, He is the king there. King of loser town! What a claim! And his blog just proves his unprofessionalism!

I dont think the rumor was Elle was closing. I think it was Ellie SHOULD be closing. Just got mixed up in whisper down the lane. Its nice for a junk shop with outdated merchandise! I always feel good knowing she is in her sidewalk chair, talking on the phone, puffing away.

Phoenixville is just a drinking town. Barry knows it, hence his bar expansion plan. A bar on every corner, and then some.

Yes, the town is great for arts and beer. Yes, we will wait and see first fridays are crowded. People will flock for free music and beer. But day time retail is just not there. At all. So if you like having a business that does well with drunks, 1 friday per month, then Phoenixville is the place for you!

Happy to be out of Pville, Michael Weinstein @ Charmingly Lindas Quality Consignments. "
