Produce stand owner cites township harassment in Ridley Township
Vincent Bonacquisti, 33 E. 23rd St., says Ridley Township officials pressure him to end his summer produce stand on MacDade Blvd. land leased from PennDOT for future Blue Route work. He reports demolition orders, a Aug. 31 vacate deadline, and costly permits plus legal fees after losing his job. The stand served seniors and the public with low prices, but he plans to dismantle after Sunday.
