Some Philadelphia-area locales are topping a nationwide contest for "Best Small Town Cultural Scene."
Here's how USA Today describes the choices:
"Bigger isn't always better, especially when it comes to these 20 small towns, each with a population of fewer than 30,000 people (as of the last census). What each lacks in size it makes up for with a big cultural punch - museums, art galleries, performing arts and busy event calendars."
Doylestown, Bucks County is currently No. 1. You can vote here.
What about Newtown? We have to do more to get some recognition and respect - perhaps after the Village at Newtown "Shopping" [Fine Dining?] Center is complete the Township can help promote it as part of a New Newtown - A Great Place to Live, Work, Worship and Have a Great Time Out! And let's work with the Borough too in a coordinated campaign! We won't get listed in such contests without a planned, coordinated community effort. I'll have to talk to our local business associations about this.
