The borough of Phoenixville, PA is considering a proposal to replace the landmark Vale Rio Diner and historic Fountain Inn in the heart of the borough, with a Walgreens and Starbucks. The town has absolutely no need for yet another drug store, when two chain stores are already mere minutes away and the locally-owned Gateway Pharmacy is also right up the road. Suburban sprawl has become a major issue in this country over the past decade. There are people and organizations dedicating to fighting against it and helping to keep our towns from becoming interchangeable strip malls. Please sign this petition, show your support of the Vale Rio and vow to boycott the Walgreens if it is actually built.
