What on earth is going on in Gladwyne, the Main Line’s priciest zip code? We’ve got some answers.

November 2, 2025 / By Caroline O'Halloran / 5 Comments /

It’s a mystery that’s consumed this happy hamlet for months: Why, oh why, is a local residential developer gobbling up historic buildings in the heart of Gladwyne Village? And they’re all on opposite sides of the street, so what the heck is he planning?

Smile and say CHEESE: Wildly popular in Bryn Mawr, Johnny’s Pizza now open in Wayne

October 30, 2025 / By Caroline O'Halloran / Leave a Comment /

It’s an established Main Line quirk: locals rarely cross the Blue Route.

That’s why a second Johnny’s Pizza in Wayne – just 4.4 miles from the bustling Bryn Mawr original – isn’t a self-sabotaging act of cannibalization.

It makes sense.

With a new name and developer, it’s go time for ‘The Piazza at Ardmore,’ the area’s most ambitious redevelopment since Suburban Square

October 28, 2025 / By Caroline / Leave a Comment /

When Toll Brothers pulled out in 2024, the future of the long-stalled “Piazza Project” seemed cloudy.

With climbing costs forcing Main Line developers to press pause, some wondered if the mammoth mixed-used project – the largest of its kind in Ardmore history – would be put on ice indefinitely. If a behemoth like Toll Bros. could be blown off course by stiff economic headwinds, would anyone step up?

Well, wonder no more.

Making memories in Malvern and miles beyond: Campli Photography marks 35 years on King Street

October 23, 2025 / By Caroline O'Halloran / 2 Comments /

In an age when fledgling photographers often launch with little more than Instagram account and a stool at Starbucks, David Campli is a unicorn.

“People don’t have photography businesses on Main Street USA anymore,” says Campli who just celebrated his 35th anniversary on King Street in Malvern.

Sports celebs, friends and the faithful join hands & hearts as Team Hope electrifies Paoli

October 14, 2025 / By Caroline / 5 Comments /

The late great Flyer, Bernie Parent, the very much alive Hall of Fame Villanova basketball coach, Jay Wright, and pro hockey phenom Johnny Gaudreau, lost tragically to a drunk driver while bicycling last year, have something in common – and it has nothing to do with sports.

Each has been a standard bearer for Team Hope – an extraordinary local movement, more than 6,000 strong, part tent revival, part Woodstock – that rocks St. Norbert’s in Paoli every few months.

Wayne welcomes World Wide Stereo, a next-level hub for the latest in home tech and entertainment

September 23, 2025 / By Caroline / /

Prepare to scrape your jaws off the floor, folks – World Wide Stereo in Wayne is a WOW!!!

Newly opened in the old Starbucks, it’s a welcome 180 from that sketchy CBD/kratom shop that Radnor township wisely gave the boot after a hot minute. It’s also a snazzy upgrade over its former Main Line home in Ardmore.

Indeed, World Wide Stereo Wayne is way more than a store – it’s a show-and-tell emporium: a place – for homeowners, builders, architects and designers – to not just see the latest in smart tech and whiz-bang entertainment, but to EXPERIENCE it.
