| Chester Merchants Press Release |
 Greetings!
Summer has officially arrived.
The SUVs are on the loose,
the Labradoodles are on the leash
and the Lululemons are on the lam.
We are awash in a sea of "Nantucket red" cotton, Land's End "faint blush" linen and LLBean "heritage stone" denim.
Ahhh...summer in Chester. |
