A Delco icon victimized

There was a small item in the Sunday newspaper that might have escaped your notice.

It didn’t escape mine. That’s because it involved one of those places I would fairly label a Delco icon.

Booth’s Corner Farmer’s Market out in Bethel is one of those places that literally screams “Delco.”

I always considered it kind of the western part of the county’s answer to the Bazaar of All Nations here in the eastern end.

That’s why I was dismayed to read the item in the Sunday newspaper about the holdup there Saturday night.

A man wielding a gun confronted an employee in one of the shops and demanded money. He escaped with about $4,000 in cash.

I hope the catch this crook quickly. With another strip shopping center or big-box store popping up almost every day, we need places like Booth’s Corner.
