The Key to Better aging: More NAD+
Most skincare works on the surface. Aramore goes where real aging begins: the basal layer of the skin, where new cells form. Backed by decades of research from Harvard and MIT scientists, Aramore is the first topical system designed to support skin’s NAD+ — the molecule your cells rely on for repair, energy, and resilience.
As NAD+ naturally declines with age, visible changes follow: dullness, uneven tone, fine lines, and loss of firmness. Aramore’s unique complex of NAD+ precursors, ketones, and fatty acids helps replenish cells at the source for skin that acts healthier and younger.
Clinically shown to improve tone, radiance, smoothness, and firmness as soon as 28 days.

Historic Courthouse to Glow Red in Tribute to Fallen Firefighters

WEST CHESTER, PA — The Historic Courthouse will be bathed in red light this weekend in observance of National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Weekend, a tribute to firefighters who have lost their lives serving their communities. The display also marks International Firefighters Day, recognized each year on May 4, which honors the dedication and bravery of firefighters worldwide. Together, the dual recognitions offer a moment of public remembrance for those lost and a show of gratitude for those who continue to answer the call.

East Caln to Weigh Plan to Split Former Chili's Into Two Restaurants
EAST CALN TWP — The East Caln Township Board of Supervisors will hold a special public hearing at 3 p.m. on Wednesday, May 20, to consider a conditional use application that would alter part of the Brandywine Square Shopping Center along U.S. Route 30 and Quarry Road. The applicant, Brandywine Square, LLC, is requesting approval to divide the vacant space formerly occupied by Chili's into two separate tenant areas, each intended to house a restaurant without drive-thru or curbside service. Such uses are permitted by right under the township's Major Retail Development regulations. The hearing will take place at the East Caln Township Building on Bell Tavern Road, and the application is available for public inspection during normal business hours.
Chesco Launches Seasonal Photo Contest Across County Parks

WEST CHESTER, PA — Chester County's Parks and Preservation Department is running a year-long photo contest, "Chesco Parks Through the Lens," that invites the public to document the county's parks and trails across four seasonal sessions. The current session, themed "Roots and Regrowth," runs through June and focuses on the arrival of spring, including wildflowers, new growth and wildlife in spots like Wolf's Hollow, Hibernia and the Struble Trail. Future sessions will highlight America's 250th anniversary, autumn colors and winter landscapes. Entries are organized into three categories: adult photographers using mobile devices, adult photographers using dedicated cameras and a Kid's View category for children ages 5 to 14. First-place adult winners will receive a free pavilion rental or campsite reservation, while the top young photographer will receive a bluebird box. Second-place finishers will receive a parks swag bag. Photographs must be original, taken within a county-managed park or trail, and submitted in JPEG or PNG format through the county's online form by the close of each session.
