SAVVY MAINLINE

Listen on Apple Podcasts and Spotify. 

In this episode, Caroline gets super personal with three guests:

*Her daughter, Kara O’Halloran, who shares her decision to freeze her eggs at age 32. Why did she do it and what was it like?

*Local mom Sarah Shafer who spent seven years and millions of dollars to have her two daughters through IVF in her later 30s and early 40s. Her journey inspired her to form a nonprofit helps couples pay for IVF and a create a lux skincare line based on breast milk.

*America’s first “test tube” baby, Elizabeth Jordan Carr, explains her life under the microscope of public opinion and her efforts to keep IVF legal. She also tells us about how to support her IVF advocacy work.

What was  long-rumored is now a fact: SAVVY has learned that Trader Joe’s is coming to the former CVS/Acme space in Berwyn.

Our clocks “fall backward” this weekend but it sure feels like spring in Wayne: the town about to burst forth with new life. Here’s a rundown of what’s going to plug those big ole holes we’re tired of seeing on Lancaster Ave. 

If history holds, about 100 women will stand outside the old Gap building this Friday morning, $30 in hand, itching for the doors to open at 11. Out-of-staters and locals know to arrive as early as 6 a.m. Some will tote lawn chairs, others coffee. Who needs sleep when there are bargains to be had?

Friday is the first and most pivotal day of the Community Clothes Charity’s now biennial sale. $30 gives first-day shoppers first dibs.

Radnor Township has taken the first step toward seizing by eminent domain the parking area it leases from Wayne Presbyterian Church (WPC), a sizable section of the large Station Ave. municipal lot.

Radnor Commissioners voted 4 to 1 at their Oct. 14 meeting to move forward with an ordinance that would authorize the township to file a “declaration of taking” in the Delco Court of Common Pleas in November.

The Main Line has a baker’s dozen of newish cake shops for paw-rents: Delice et Chocolat, The Happy Mixer, Tous Les Jour, Maman, Le Mignon and more.

But a bakery for their beagle babies?

Now that’s a whole ’nother bun in the oven.
