Sober Curious? So were these Main Line moms; Plus, BIG changes ahead for Berwyn? A peek at Malvern’s hip new gathering Grove; Huge signing at KOP Town Center; Crime news & lots more

As many new mothers do, Emily Lucking jumped into post-pregnancy imbibing with gusto. Being able to drink again while out socializing with friends felt fun and celebratory. And, well, normal.

“I was used to being the life of the party,” says Lucking. “I missed being the ‘fun friend.’”

Then one night, the Villanova mom over-indulged just enough to feel out of control.

And the next day, after a not-so-great-feeling morning, she asked herself a painful question: Was being the popular party girl more important than being her best self for her three-month-old daughter?

School’s out for summer.

As of this week, it’s out forever … for star Stoga teacher Deb Ciamacca.

For years, the former Marine and beloved U.S. Government teacher has urged her students to get off the sidelines. “Democracy’s not a spectator sport,” she’d tell them.

After speaking out about gun safety here – and on national and international TV – she put her career where her mouth was.

New reality TV show “Get Real Main Line”; Drugs & dining out in Radnor; Young & Restless at the shore; A Wayne exit, an Ardmore arrival & lots more

June 8, 2017 / By Caroline O'Halloran / /

Remember when the Main Line was buzzing about a “Real Housewives” show based here?

And how Bravo TV said thanks but no thanks and took their cameras elsewhere?

Because, apparently, we Main Liners are too cookie-cutter and won’t let our highlighted hair down.

“Get Real” stars Toni Filippone, Conestoga Class of ’93, perhaps the Main Line’s mouthiest and funniest lesbian, out and proud, married to Berwyn caterer Meridith Coyle since August 2015.
