west chester is slightly off the main line. KoP is the center of Montco-Chester County. WC is a mini-center for those too far from the city.

they should be fired for using the word stupendous. Perhaps they will select center city since it's more convenient to manhattan and still far cheaper. Unlike Great Vallley, there is plenty of room to expand. They're close to a major international airport, the acela, and a a thriving arts scene.

actually, NYC has been a growing part of the metro and it's possible that manhattan would snag a team for its westside development but, as you said, it's unlikely. look at the trouble they had with the washington nationals.
