D owntown West Chester proffers a veritable smorgasbord of culinary delights. Here you can savor everything from haute French cuisine to down-home Southern barbecue, spicy Asian

specialties to hearty Italian dishes, rich pastries to roast prime rib, fresh fish and seafood to salads and sandwiches.

The downtown district also is home to gourmet retailers who peddle an assortment of artisanal foods.

For example, a uniquely tasteful shopping experience awaits customers of A Taste of Olive, located on South High Street. The store’s knowledgeable staff guides patrons as they sample herb- and fruit-infused olive oils and authentic Modena balsamic vinegars.

“We try to provide tastings for as many products as possible,” says owner Nancy Smith. “All of our oils and vinegars are in stainless-steel fustis with spigots, so customers can taste and combine flavors. Our most unusual vinegar is the lavender-infused balsamic. Some of the most popular are the citrus, Persian lime, blood orange and pomegranate. Our most popular olive oil has Tuscan herbs actually pressed with the olives.”

People can order online at www.atasteofolive.com.When it comes to fine dining, Gilmore’s tops many lists,

including those on Zagat’s and Yelp.com. Owner and Chef Peter Gilmore describes his food as French fare with a contemporary American twist.

“A good example of that would be the shrimp ‘corn dogs,’” he says. “I am constantly changing the menu to incorporate

seasonal ingredients. I’m a lover of foie gras, so there’s always some kind of foie gras on the menu. My latest creation is sautéed foie gras on grilled pineapple with truffle sauce.”

Gilmore’s “candied apples” (actually spun sugar with a cloud of chocolate mousse inside) are among the restaurant’s signature desserts.Visit www.gilmoresrestaurant.com to learn more and make reservations online.

Although Southern barbecue, collard greens and cornbread aren’t necessarily native to West Chester, folks around here love them, and they pile into Mabel’s Barbeque on East Market Street to get their fill. Mabel Spann grew up in a house full of Southerners, and that’s how she learned to cook her made-to-order menu items.

“We have a saying here,” she explains. “Southern food is not fast food. The fried chicken is made fresh when you order it.”

Also made fresh daily are the macaroni and cheese, pulled pork, beef brisket, barbecued chicken, ribs, sweet potato pie and more.

The historic Oyster and Eating Saloon of Spence Bros. first began serving fresh fish and seafood more than 100 years ago. Today, Spence Café continues that tradition, with selections such as chilled oysters on the half shell and smoked fish trio with pickled red onion and horseradish cream.

Other downtown dining options include Jazmine Thai restaurant; Limoncello Ristorante, serving authentic Italian cuisine; Three Little Pigs upscale deli; Ryan’s Pub, an Irish-American eatery and watering hole; and many more.

I f you Google “running, biking or walking in West Chester, Pa.,” you’ll find more than 50,000 Web links.

Three years ago, Alison Gracey did a similar Internet search when trying to decide if she should

move from North Carolina to West Chester. As an avid biker and runner, she knew she wanted her new home to support her active lifestyle.

“They do a very good job in West Chester of promoting physical fitness,” Gracey says. “It really depends on how involved you want to get, but you’ll find a wonderful community here that is incredibly helpful and friendly.”

With locales like Valley Forge Park, Brandywine Creek State Park and the active downtown area, residents have ideal locations to get together and enjoy their favorite recreation.

Since moving to West Chester in 2006, Gracey joined the West Chester Running Club and West Chester Biking Club. In the biking club, Gracey found a broad range of bikers through niche groups such as the all-female Biker Chicks and a group that is training for a triathlon.

The West Chester Running Club also tries to meet the needs of various members at different levels through group runs, social events and organized races, says longtime member Dan Holland.

“West Chester is an active community,” Holland says. “A lot of people are playing soccer, biking, running and doing things to stay active. There’s a lot going on.”

Throughout the years, the running club has sponsored West Chester’s annual Brian’s Run. The race, which includes walking and running, brings thousands of athletes to West Chester to raise money for various charities. John Manion and other local runners organized the 2009 event while also gearing up for the second annual Dub C 4-Miler, a race through the heart of downtown launched in 2009.

“West Chester is a very active town with many runners and cyclists,” Manion says. “We noticed people out at various

times of the day, so I threw the gauntlet down that we should have a summer race to highlight all these active people.”

With more than 800 runners last year, the Dub C was able to donate more funds than anticipated to several local charitable organizations.

According to Scott Purcell, co-owner of the West Chester Running Store, West Chester holds approximately 15 to 20 races each year. While most events are held for charity, they also help promote local businesses through sponsorships and offer athletes opportunities for competition.

Events such as the Turkey Burner 5K, Terry’s Run and The Chamber’s Jingle Elf Run are just a few examples of events that Purcell’s store sponsors each year. The shop also holds regular injury-prevention clinics for runners and walkers.

“We want to keep people healthy and keep them moving,” Purcell says. “But we’re not just targeting the adults here. We really want to get kids involved in running, too. We want them to be active and healthy their whole life.”

Business

F or Steve Figgatt and Dan Delaney, the decision to open their own technology consulting business after

graduating from college in 2008 was pretty simple.

“The economy was in a shambles, and there were no jobs available,” Figgatt, 23, recalls.

Maybe it wasn’t the best time in the world to launch a small business, but with a history of part-time consulting work that had generated a small nest egg, the longtime friends took the leap, and Sycamore Tech Inc. was born.

Today, the company is f lourishing, with a healthy local business and residential customer base for the partners’ computer expertise.

Sycamore is also pioneering green technology. The company’s business vehicle is a 1985 Mercedes the partners re-engineered to run on used vegetable oil, and they have reduced their carbon footprint by 90 percent.

To their surprise, they have also developed a healthy international market for the hardware they buy from schools and companies and refurbish for continued use.

“It’s good to be people who are paving the way,” says Figgatt, who has known Delaney since they were local middle-schoolers. “We’re exploring a facility for

making biodiesel from used vegetable oil, and we’re also hoping to develop environmentally sustainable rental properties. We can really do whatever we want as long as our ideas work.”

That kind of sky’s-the-limit attitude is common among West Chester’s growing number of young entrepreneurs and is reflected in the popularity of the West Chester chamber’s new F.L.O.W. group, or Future Leaders of West Chester.

More than 50 young businesspeople were on board before the first meeting in September 2009, described by Greater West Chester Chamber of Commerce Executive Vice President Mark Yoder as “something a little different – structured networking that helps them connect in a way that’s meaningful.”

Among the city’s young movers and shakers is Mary Bigham, who hosts an ambitious and upbeat Web site loaded with tips on where to eat, what to eat, how to eat – a compendium that big-city foodies might well envy. And Antoinette Poluch, who at 24 opened her fashion-forward OBVI store in 2006, is already looking to expand to other locations.

“When I first jumped into it, I was young and excited, and it was what I wanted to do,” says Poluch, who took the name from a college slang expression – “obvi” for “obviously” – she and her friends used.

Poluch decided to open a business when she was casting about for a career after graduating from Gettysburg College. Hometown West Chester was the natural choice, she says, “because I knew it and was comfortable with it, and I knew this was something this town needed: clothes that were fun, wore well and were sophisticated, but not at a boutique price.”

“I try to help people as much as I can with lower prices,” Poluch says.

The economy has played an even more crucial role in the success of NewDay Mortgage. Mike Dougherty and Tom Farnesi were 28 and 27, respectively, when they started the company in 2006, after leaving another firm in Delaware.

“We value honesty, ethics, integrity and constant financial development,” says Farnesi. “We decided to go out on our own and create a small, efficient and well-respected company.”

The name, he says, refers to the “life-altering decision” their clients make when purchasing or refinancing a home, beginning a new day in their lives.

The challenge in the current economic climate, Farnesi says, is gaining respect in the housing and mortgage markets. “We’re ready for the challenge,” Farnesi says.

Experiencing a Growth SpurtCHAMBER ADDS PROGRAMS AND MEMBERS WHILE ATTRACTING VISITORS

With a solid vision for the future and a growth plan to match, the

Chamber of Commerce of Greater West Chester (GWCC) is in the midst of an ambitious three-year expansion. Now nearly 800 members strong, the chamber is focused on expanding its programs and services while being responsive to the area’s business community, says Katie Walker, president.

“Building relationships is critical to being successful in any business,” Walker says. “It is the chamber’s goal to provide meaningful and diverse ways for our members to get to know each other and then encourage them to take advantage of those opportunities.”

Among GWCC’s successful new pro-grams is Chamber LEAD-ers, a referral program used by members as part of their overall marketing and sales efforts.

“The goal is for members to get to know each other so well that each person’s product or service becomes ‘top of mind’ when they come across a potential referral,” she says. “As a side benefit, the format encourages our members to shop locally which, during this tough economy, is a win-win for our members and for the community in general.”

In addition to the LEAD-ers groups, the chamber also established Future Leaders of West Chester, or F.L.O.W.,

for young professionals ages 23 to 40. According to Mark Yoder, the chamber’s executive vice president, the group’s mission is to facilitate and promote networking and professional development among Chester County’s young professionals by providing networking functions, educational seminars (in partnership with Cabrini College), direct interaction with local executives and volunteer opportunities.

“We are excited that the young professionals of GWCC saw the need to create F.L.O.W.,” Yoder says. “Their goal from the beginning was to create a group unique to their demographic that would provide professional development

opportunities along with philanthropic endeavors and networking events presented in a unique way.”

Making the most of its unique location in the historic and vibrant Borough of West Chester, GWCC proudly continues to attract visitors, residents and businesses throughout the year to its signature events, including a spring and fall Gallery Walk, the Iron Hill Twilight Criterium in July and The Flavia Old-Fashioned Christmas in December.

“Downtown West Chester, with its narrow streets and beautiful architecture, provides the perfect backdrop for bringing people together,” Walker says. – Joe Morris

Health & Wellness

Since its beginnings as a 10-bed dispensary in 1892, The Chester

County Hospital has delivered expert care to the community.

Today, the 220-bed nonprofit, inde-pendent hospital offers a full range of services, providing access to the latest medical technology and clinical protocols.

A number of strategic affiliations with top academic medical centers make it possible to tap into the nationally renowned expertise of the Cleveland Clinic, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and the University of Pennsylvania. Through these partnerships with The Chester County Hospital, local patients receive the benefits of the large medical centers without having to leave their support system of family and friends.

“Each of our affiliates is known throughout the world, and our ability

to make this level of medicine available locally is an unusual gift to our community,” says Jean Caulfield, the hospital’s senior vice president of professional services.

These partnerships also underscore the quality that is a hallmark of The Chester County Hospital and the commitment of the medical staff and hospital administration.

“The quality has to be A-plus when Cleveland Clinic forms an affiliation,” says Dr. Martin LeBoutillier III, a cardiothoracic surgeon.

The partnership provides on-call access and on-site training with their counterparts at Cleveland Clinic.

Similarly, local cancer patients benefit from the clinical trials and most advanced treatment options through the hospital’s participation in the University of Pennsylvania Cancer Network.

“We can provide 95 percent of what a patient may need – and for the other 5 percent of cases, we have a direct line of contact down to Penn,” says Dr. Dennis Berman, medical director for Chester County Hematology-Oncology Services.

The partnership with the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, routinely recognized as one of the top pediatric hospitals and research facilities in the world, actually places CHOP physicians on site at The Chester County Hospital.

Additionally, the hospital has been designated a Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).

“Someone with neonatal expertise is here 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and we are the only Level III NICU in Chester County,” says Dr. Pamela Russell, medical director for CHOP Newborn Care.

Education

Although Dr. James Scanlon is new to the West Chester Area School

District, the superintendent is very familiar with both the region and what it takes to create an atmosphere conducive to learning.

“I grew up in Bucks County, Pa.,” explains the veteran educator, who has worked in school systems in Pennsylvania and Delaware for nearly three decades. “West Chester has an excellent reputation for academic support. It’s a great community of teachers and learners who are excited about education.”

He says that enthusiasm extends to the local business community, which plays an important role in the success of the 16 schools. “Graduates last year received $760,000 in scholarship dollars from local businesses – just local; that’s not counting National Merit and national scholarship dollars,” Scanlon marvels.

From his first day on the job in July 2009, Scanlon has been vocal in his belief that there is no room for complacency. To ensure the district’s nearly 6,000 students, teachers and staff members continue to strive for the highest standards, he is focusing on four key areas – alignment, individual achievement, fiscal responsibility and enhanced communication.

“One of our big challenges is that by Pennsylvania standards, we are a relatively large system, so it’s important to get everything aligned systematically,” Scanlon says of efforts to effectively share data, align curricula across grade levels and enhance administrative productivity through technology.

Another priority is “meeting the needs of all kids to find out where they are in their education and move them to the next level. Our mission is about individualizing for every student,” Scanlon says.

The goal of reaching a personal best is equally important for teachers and staff. For that reason, the school district places a strong emphasis on professional development.

And Scanlon has been instrumental in launching a Budget Community Task Force, calling on the expertise of the area’s residents and business community to bring fresh ideas about innovative operational practices to the table.
