Movie Theater Moves Closer to Closure

A recent zoning change will allow a car dealership to open at the location of East Whiteland's United Artists theater.

East Whiteland's lone movie theater moved one step closer to closure last week, as the township supervisors approved a zoning change that will allow a car dealership to open on the property. Devon Automotive Group requested that three parcels currently occupied by United Artists East Whiteland Stadium 9 be changed from Village Mixed Use (VMX) to Frontage Commercial (FC) zoning classification. The board of supervisors approved the change in a public hearing held Dec. 12. According to Township Manager Terry Woodman, the automotive group plans to open a Toyota dealership at the site.

A car dealership is looking to open at the location on Lancaster Avenue.

The theater might not be around for much longer, though. Devon Automotive Group is in talks to purchase the property and open a car dealership on the site. The company is requesting East Whiteland change the zoning of the three parcels that comprise the property from Village Mixed Use to Frontage Commercial so that it can open a Sloane Toyota dealership there.  Follow Malvern Patch on Facebook and Twitter.

Letter to the Editor: Artificial Soccer Turf Is Cause for Concern

One Willistown resident says artificial fields are a "lose, lose, lose proposition."

Editor's note: The following letter was written by Willistown resident Jeannette Lindvig, who lives near the Greater Chester Valley Soccer Association fields. The Greater Chester Valley Soccer Association is petitioning Willistown Township for permission to build Astro-turf soccer fields on Willistown Township land that the GCVSA leases from Willistown township on Line Road. After attending the Zoning Hearing Board meeting, I came away with some major misgivings about the GCVSA, and many questions about Astro-turf. 1. If other municipalities are removing old astro-turf fields because these fields have proven to be toxic, why would we assume that "Astro-turf" has solved the decomposition/pollution problem with this new version? Have long-…
