Troubled waters at Life Time Athletic in Tredyffrin.

The entire facility closed for a few days this week after “a loss of water flow” due to “a construction error,” according to the club’s messages to members.

Wait, the building was “constructed” in 2017 and they’re just finding the error now?

Confused, we reached out to corporate.

It’s been two weeks since the brutal murder at the Radnor Wawa and we’re still aghast.

We didn’t know Stephanie MIller personally, but her death seems personal. We’re taking it personally.

She walked among us.

Her 6-year-old son goes to school here.

We’ve bought coffee at that Wawa.

The store on Old Sugartown has reopened, its floors scrubbed. The only hint of the horror that happened here: a makeshift memorial on a window ledge.

Devon Anthropologie to swap out deceptive ‘skinny’ mirrors; Plus, Casablanca spices up Bryn Mawr; The Simple Greek feeds Wayne; F45 trains Paoli; Catwalk for Wings & lots more

March 21, 2019 / By Caroline O'Halloran / /

Hey, Mirror, Mirror: Who’s the slimmest of them all? Shoppers trying on clothes at the new Devon Anthropologie.

Readers have been telling us for months that Anthro’s dressing-room mirrors make them look a tad taller and a smidge thinner than they actually are.

Thanks for the flattering image, the women told us, but, uh, no thanks.

Double issue: Movie (!), dining & shopping scoops, plus our annual all-local ‘nifty gifts’ guide

December 14, 2017 / By Caroline O'Halloran / /

Pop some corn: seems the western Main Line is going to the movies.

One of the nation’s largest movie chains is THISCLOSE to inking a deal with Uptown Worthington, the long-time-coming lifestyle center near the Malvern Wegmans.

The center’s owner, developer Brian O’Neill, tells SAVVY that a dine-in theater with full bar plans to take 43,000 sq. ft. and should open in a year or so. Two prior deals with movie chains cratered a few years back, but we’re told this one should be a wrap by early January.

O’Neill also tells us he’s nearing a deal with Main Line restaurateur Marty Grims. The White Dog Café/Autograph Brasserie/Moshulu owner wants to open a “super hip” spot at Worthington
