November 3, 2025 / By Caroline O'Halloran / Leave a Comment /

It’s beginning to look a lot like Surrey Holiday House Tour & Shop time.

Ticket sales are soaring, favor bags are filling, halls are decked, vendors are making lists, and sponsors are signing on. (Of course, more sponsors are always needed and welcome!)

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 / 4 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.

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.

Legendary Eagles Coach & winemaker Dick Vermeil to headline Malvern longevity luncheon, ‘Aging Like a Fine Wine,’ hosted by Surrey

September 15, 2025 / By Caroline O'Halloran / /

Looking to live longer, healthier?

Take a page from Coach Vermeil’s playbook.

You’ll get that chance Friday, Oct. 17 at an inaugural luncheon summit hosted by Surrey Services’ new Beilenson Institute for Innovation in Aging.

The Hall of Fame Coach will headline the program at The Desmond Hotel Malvern which is ticketed and open to the public. Vermeil will share his personal tips for positive, vital aging and field audience questions. (No doubt he’ll tackle a few Eagles questions, too. ’Cause you can take the man out of football but ….)

Saluting Sandi Gorman: T/E’s most impactful organizer. Newly retired, she’ll take a curtain call when T&E Care – the nonprofit she founded and led for 20 years – honors her at its Sept. 20 fundraiser.

September 10, 2025 / By Caroline O'Halloran / /

For Sandi Gorman, charity has always begun at home.

Scratch that – near home.

With a servant’s heart, a teacher’s dedication and a leader’s vision, she turned a simple idea – local families helping local families – into a crackerjack nonprofit that has touched thousands.

As impactful as it’s been, T&E Care was but a capstone to more than four decades of dogged, unpaid service to her community.

The Clubhouse Wellness Center near Valley Forge focuses on fun as it builds friendships, social skills and resilience

September 4, 2025 / By Caroline O'Halloran / /

It’s easier to explain the new Clubhouse Wellness Center by telling you what it’s not.

It’s not drop-in daycare or eldercare, it’s not an indoor playground and it’s not therapy.

What it is: a place for screen-free play – mostly for kids but also for grownups – that inspires connection, sparks creativity and fosters personal growth.

Handel’s Ice Cream will mark 20 years with a daylong celebration of one of Berwyn’s finest: “Big Dan” McMonigle, who passed in late June

August 20, 2025 / By Caroline O'Halloran / /

Handel’s Ice Cream could easily have made its 20th anniversary celebration all about Handel’s.

After all, Buck Buchanan’s first ice cream venture has been a hit since Day One, a place so enmeshed in the fabric of family life in Berwyn and beyond, it feels like always been there. Heck, even Adam Sandler famously found his way to Handel’s – and not just once.
