It won’t be Enoteca Tredici reincarnated but fans of that dearly departed spot should raise a glass to this news: always bustling Alessandro’s is coming to the ill-fated Il Fiore in Bryn Mawr Village.
With a new name and developer, it’s go time for ‘The Piazza at Ardmore,’ the area’s most ambitious redevelopment since Suburban Square
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.
Sports celebs, friends and the faithful join hands & hearts as Team Hope electrifies Paoli
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
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.

Summer’s over and kids are back in school – reading, writing, and, increasingly, juuling.
Some are vaping right under our noses – on school buses, in cafeterias, bathrooms and bedrooms – using slick little Juul devices that look like harmless flash drives but are anything but.
Indeed, juuling is turning unsuspecting Main Line teens into nicotine addicts – one surreptitious, sweet-flavored puff at a time.
Seems even the “smart” kids are doing it.
