Sizing up Saquon’s secret weapon – the NEUBIE (We tried it!); Wokworks; About Face for VF Military Academy; Sweet longevity deal; This and That & more

November 20, 2025 by Caroline O'Halloran

Main Line athletes, weekend warriors and post-op patients are all getting a charge out of the NEUBIE, the new-ish electric stimulator that Tredyffrin’s own Saquon Barkley swears by.

Only 14 providers in PA have it and only two are local: Christine Hayes Physical Therapy & Integrative Healing Center in Paoli and at Bryn Mawr Sports Rehab.

Main Line teacher/author Jim Zervanos charms with ‘American Gyro’

November 14, 2025 by Caroline O'Halloran

Ask Bala Cynwyd’s Jim Zervanos if his latest book – a sweet, funny, coming-of-age novel about a Greek American growing up outside Philly – is autobiographical and you receive a resounding … not really.

“The literal story is entirely made up but it’s more personal to me than anything I’ve written.”

Third time’s a charm for Surrey Holiday House Tour & Shop

November 3, 2025 by Caroline O'Halloran

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

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

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

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

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

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.
