Coatesville Dems: Victory Gardens

Welcome to the Coatesville Dems Blog

Public Corruption in Chester County, PA

I believe an unlikely mix of alleged drug trafficking related politicos and alleged white nationalist related politicos united to elect the infamous “Bloc of Four” in the abysmal voter turnout election of 2005. During their four year term the drug business was good again and white nationalists used Coatesville as an example on white supremacist websites like “Stormfront”. Strong community organization and support from law enforcement, in particular Chester County District Attorney Joseph W. Carroll has begun to turn our community around. The Chester County drug trafficking that I believe centers on Coatesville continues and I believe we still have public officials in place that profit from the drug sales. But the people here are amazing and continue to work against the odds to make Coatesville a good place to live.

COATESVILLE — Vegetables are not the only thing growing in the Coatesville Victory Gardens this season.

Among the tomatoes, beans and lettuce of the community plot, gardening knowledge and camaraderie have also sprouted among members of Coatesville Victory Gardens.

Local green thumbs, and a few brown ones, joined forces earlier this year to establish a community garden aimed at providing fresh, organic and nutritious food to city residents.

"I have always been impressed with the CSAs (community-supported agriculture) in downtown Philadelphia and I was interested in trying the same thing here in Coatesville," said Keith Gargus, one of the founding members of the organization.
