Tell me about Downingtown/Pottstown area

[DodgerKL]

Are you kidding me?? Coatesville was OK 25 years ago, but with all the row homes and much low income housing the place has taken a giant leap backwards. My father graduated from Coatesville and he is so sad to see what it has become. It's dirty and unkept and businesses are closing. While it is true that outside of Coastesville boasts some beautiful homes and developments, your kids would still have to go to school in town and its so bad. The steel mill took such a hit and closed that very little of that area is actually used anymore. The place hasn't been right since Luken's was sold.
