The Post was started
by Powelton Neighbors, a predecesor group
to PVCA and has been the neighborhood newsletter
for Powelton Village since 1960. The Post
is really a remarkable publication that
has sustained remarkablly high quality through
the years. It operation is completely staffed
byvolunteers from the neighborhood. We've
decided not to put current issues of the
newsletter on the web, but are beginning
the process of scanning old issues for their
historic interest and contribution in telling
the story of Powelton.
FYI - The Powelton
Post began publishing in April 1960 and
the last issue was in April 1968. The New
Post was resurrected in 1981, but I don't
believe it published regularly until 1983.
If you know that not to be true and have
copies of the Post or other Newsletters
from that period, I'd love to get hold of
them ---> mjones1@swarthmore.edu

many Powelton Village people contributed
conent. We've been given issues from 1977

for the publication, which covered the Powelton
Move events and the community conflict around
it, the Powelton Civic Homeowners, Powel
School, things at the CEC, etc. These are
the known issues. If anyone know, or has
others ... please get in touch.
