Already bustling Cricket Ave. in downtown Ardmore is poised to get even busier.

We’ve already told you about the posh new day spa, Cure de Repos in Cricket Flats, the newish luxury apartment/retail complex just down the road from eight-story One Ardmore.

Well, right next door to the spa, an equally stylish outpost of Corks & Candles is off to a promising start.

After a string of hearings sometimes so raucous with foot stomping and chanting that officials asked police to stand sentry, Easttown’s zoning board has – drum roll – ruled on Berwyn Square.

Both sides claim partial victory – although, arguably, the bigger win went to the developers.

But this one’s far from over.

Life looks a lot different after you’re hit, dragged and pinned under a 20,000-pound truck. Just ask Bala Cynwyd’s Jennifer Robinson, who in 2008 nearly lost her life during a sunny stroll on Penn’s campus. In a blink, she went from a newly- wed, rock-star litigator to mangled victim, fully conscious and terrified as EMTs swarmed around her.

Fast forward to 2019 and a reborn Robinson, 46, is finally able to talk about her accident, about the devastating spiral that ensued and how she clawed her way back to daylight.

After the hullabaloo in Havertown, no one knew what to expect when Tredyffrin Public Library hosted its first-ever Drag Queen Storytime.

Protesters?

Counter-protesters?

An overflow crowd?

An angry mob?

After it received pushback emails and calls, the library wasn’t taking any chances that late June morning.
