coop: Chester Community Grocery Co-Op: Sustainable Economic Stimulus - 03/11/08 08:25 PM

Steve Mun, e-PRO, QSC recently nominated me for a meme.
Some of you have read my earlier meme response in the The First (?) ActiveRain Meme posted by Jay & Francy Thompson (way back in December, '06), but Active Rain now has nearly 33,000 members (Back then only 11,000) so I will sumarize that info here:
I served in the Army during Desert Shield/Desert Storm. When Iraq invaded Kuwait, I watched CNN for 3 days straight. At that point, it looked like it would develop into WWIII, and I thought to myself, all the men in my family have served during time of war … (9 comments)

coop: Chester Co-op -- a Community Investing in Itself - 01/10/07 02:14 PM
by Rich Schiffer, Weichert Realtors
There is an effort underway to establish a full grocery that is a cooperative store in Chester. This great news for investors. Anytime a community begins to improve the services available to it's residents, this bodes well for the community as a whole, including real estate values in the area. This particular effort will be doubly important, as it is a home-grown, community-driven effort, as opposed to an external group trying to force a change. As the community takes pride in itself, as is evidenced in this type of effort, changes will be put in motion that will improve … (4 comments)
