White Dog Cafe to Debut in Chester Springs in a Historic Location

The White Dog Cafe is set to open a new location in Chester Springs in early 2024, taking over the historic site of the former Vickers Restaurant, which was once part of the Underground Railroad. The establishment, which will be the fifth under Fearless Restaurants' management, will offer contemporary American cuisine focusing on local and sustainable ingredients.

The upcoming cafe will undergo significant renovations, including updates to the roof, entryway, and kitchen, all while preserving the building's historical significance. The new space will span 7,500 square feet and is designed to accommodate around 300 guests, featuring a layout that gives each dining area its own unique character.

The addition of a three-season room will allow for outdoor dining experiences, and the main dining area will be divided into three distinct spaces. The White Dog Cafe Chester Springs will provide lunch, dinner, happy hour, and weekend brunch, continuing the brand's tradition of award-winning American cuisine made with locally sourced ingredients.

In a nod to the cafe's canine theme, patrons will have the chance to commission pet portraits from local artist Janelle Morrison, with the artwork to be displayed at the restaurant. A portion of the proceeds from these commissions will support Alpha Bravo Canine, an organization that provides service dogs to U.S. veterans.

Since the opening of the original White Dog Cafe in University City in 1983 by Judy Wicks, Fearless Restaurants has expanded the brand to several other locations, with the Chester Springs site marking the latest addition to the family. The new restaurant is expected to create approximately 100 jobs.

Norristown Man Sentenced to Prison for Sexual Assault of Minor and Exposing Another to Pornography

A 55-year-old Norristown man, Martin Roman Castro, has been sentenced to 20 to 40 years in prison for sexually assaulting an underage girl and exposing another to pornography. F

ollowing his prison term, he will be on probation for three years, effectively placing him under court supervision for a total of 43 years. Additionally, Castro is mandated to register as a sex offender for life under Pennsylvania's Megan’s Law. T

he offenses occurred in 2021 when the victims were in his care. The case came to light when the parents of an 11-year-old girl discovered she had been given access to pornographic material by Castro.

A 12-year-old girl also reported that Castro had sexually assaulted her multiple times. Castro admitted to the sexual contact when questioned by detectives. In a plea agreement, other related charges were dropped.
