SAVVY MAINLINE

it's what you want to know

Signs of life! We march, dine out, shop & survive one crazy storm; Plus, a huge restaurant loss, bike shortages, dirty martinis & more

With the yellow light finally flashing, the Main Line emerged from its coranavirus cocoon last week. We walked into stores, we dined outside, and in huge numbers, we marched.

With fists raised, voices lifted, signs hoisted.

Like the R5, a wave of protests chugged through Bala, Narberth, Ardmore, Haverford, Bryn Mawr, Wayne, Devon, Berwyn, Paoli, a fresh march each day.

Coping with coronavirus: The Main Line pauses, pivots and pitches in. Will life ever be the same?

April 11, 2020 by Caroline O'Halloran

Frankly, we weren’t going to publish. This coronavirus crisis is too crazy/awful/unwieldy to even begin to unpack. Plus, we weren’t sure how to handle our loyal advertisers, who have enough bills to worry about.

But we’ve been monitoring the Main Line’s New Normal. And while plenty about it stinks, there’s good news worth sharing.

So we’re going ahead. You’ll see our advertisers’ banners and hear some of their corona-coping stories but they won’t be billed. It’s the least we can do.
