Township Slogan
![[mail]](img/envelope.gif){kind=small}
It has come to my attention that the township is having a contest to create a new township slogan (I don’t know if we’ve had one in the past). Since Republicans seem to get their way on everything in Tredyffrin no matter what they do, they will probably get their way on this one too. And that’s a shame, because the debacle of their silly yellow campaign signs demonstrates that they have difficulty coming up with catchy, reasonably truthful slogans. In addition, their reaction to this blog demonstrates that at least some of them are a little humor deprived. I can only imagine what they will come up with:
“Tredyffrin Township: No new taxes (at least until after the election)”
Or how about:
“Tredyffrin Township: We will ignore serious problems like stormwater management unless some irritating Democrat forces us to deal with it, so be sure not to elect any.”
Wait, I’ve got a better one:
“Tredyffrin Township: No public funding for libraries, but if you don’t contribute to our private fund we will out you and publicly shame you for our political purposes.”
I could go on and on, but you get my point. We all know that Tredyffrin is a great place to live and work. Our taxes are low and our schools are outstanding. We should try to come up with a slogan of our own. Believe me, it’ll never get adopted by the township, but at least we’ll feel like we’re part of the process. I’ll offer a few suggestions, then I’d like to hear some from you. Don’t be shy – we know you’re out there. We see the hit counter.
My humble attempts:
Tredyffrin Township: It’s not Philadelphia, and we like it that way.
Tredyffrin Township: Yes, there ARE that many Gulph Roads. So what?
Tredyffrin Township: One party democracy for over 300 years. Sort of like Venezuela.
Well, that’s all for now. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

How about
Tredyffrin: Sure it's a weird name, but it's a nice place to live.
This is priceless:
DiFilippo, who is serving on a committee collecting slogan ideas, said she expects some inappropriate submissions.And a reputable Chester County blog, West Chester Unplugged, is running with your idea, as well. He has a couple of irreverent Tredyffrin slogans, as well:
“I would imagine that there will be some vetting of the list before it’s presented to the supervisors,” she said.
Tredyffrin: Protecting the citizens of Chester County from the forces of evil (Montgomery County) since 1704.
Tredyffrin: At least our name is easier to pronounce than Uwchlan.
