Hi everyone and thanks for following us all these years. Our little app would not exist if it wasn’t for an intital project we did with the Chester County Historical Society back in 2012. If you could sign in here and give them 5 votes so they could get some money to fix things up, they can be a resource for other folks in the future.
You may not know where it is on a map, but these folks in Chester County took a chance on us back when all this stuff was just a crazy idea. It is something we are eternally grateful for and we can honestly say we wouldn’t probably exist without them.
If you are in the New York, Chicago, Washing D.C. or Minneapolis regions, we have been able to come to your community from the Philadelphia suburbs because they helped us grow, so if you could give them some votes it would mean a lot to us.
Please, it just takes a second. We are sure that if everyone who followed us gave 5 votes they would blow this out of the water. Thanks, and let’s put them over the top!
