it's what you want to know
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.

Friday’s Grand Opening sold out in a flash.
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.
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.
Tough week to be a tourist at Valley Forge Park. The government shutdown has sent park rangers and staff home, The Visitor’s Center and all park buildings are closed.
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.

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 ….)
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.
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 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.
