Eric D’Alessandro
That the possibility finding a live show in the area by a national act has been virtually eliminated by COVID-19 restrictions is hardly a laughing matter.

By Mike McGann, Editor, The Times @mikemcgannpa
In the last few days, Chester County has become famous — just maybe not in the way most of us would like.
In the fevered dreams of some, Chester County’s officials are part of a vast conspiracy to prevent Donald Trump from being reelected President. Social media is roaring — people from thousands of miles away lecture me on what happened in...

Looking over the Chester County election results there were a couple of head scratchers — and races that defied the polling and conventional wisdom (especially mine).
While Joe Biden winning Chester County by a remarkable 17 points was a bit of a surprise, he had virtually no coattails. Typically, such a blow...
Election 2020: Biden wins Chesco, Comitta, Kane win st. Senate seats; 2 legislative races too close to call
Updated Monday, 7:30 to better reflect recount status in the 158th District.
