Talking Trails in Gladwyne: CSX Train Derailment Worth Noting

Parts of the Schuylkill River West Trail as proposed would run awfully close to live freight train tracks. So it is worth mentioning the recent CSX train derailment in Philadelphia for that very reason. So next time the Noise Fume Pass AKA Ken Davis's baby comes up, remember this : |

Racism in America: Is It OK For Ru Freeman To Liken Bloggers to KKK?

She said:
Methinks the lady is insecure about her social status on the Main Line? And who even cares about that or if she is liberal or conservative politically? I sure don’t. What I do care about is she is a professional writer, and someone under different circumstances, I would look up to in that role and in her “activist” role. I love to write and I love meeting writers living that dream. Ditto with activists. I look at the fabulous female activists I have had the privilege to meet: the late Rosemary Cubas who taught a lot of us so much, Mary Cortes of Cramer Hill and even Susette Kelo of New London, CT. I get that we are all human. But as someone who embraced the spirit of change in this country, someone who is still touched by meeting Michelle Obama face to face and interacting with her, I find what Ru Freeman did with her blog post upsetting and a throw-back. She let women, activists, and writers down with her casual (or was it deliberate) parallel of bloggers on the Main Line equal KKK. And she is not the only one doing things like this in this country and I am tired of it. For her to disagree is fine. We are not all cookie cutter images of one and other. But to deliberately invoke an image so racially charged as well as extremely hateful I have to ask: What is she teaching her children? I responded to her blog post and it is posted below. My comment to her is still awaiting moderation. |

He is 49 years old and he actually made one trip here during the interview process on his own dime to check out the situation. I hear his contract is a lot more normal then Bashore's and oh yes, is it true he will have to use all his vacation time in the year it is allotted? If so, cross one Radnor employee off the vacationgate/compensation gate list, right? Does that mean the rest of the employees will have to follow suit? Sure hope so. Here is some stuff from his soon to be former job in Ohio: |
Let's All Play the E.I.T. Drinking Game in LMT With Liz Rogan!

I hear Liz Rogan brought up Earned Income Tax or E.I.T. again at the Ardmore Ad Hoc Meeting late last week? Why she brought it up there escapes me, but how many times now in 2010 has she brought this up? Is this like the 3rd time? I don't know why the hell residents should pay even more for Lower Merion's screw ups. Is this how Bruce, Liz, Mark, etc. want to make up for spending, spending, spending? With another tax? Remember the reception the E.I.T. had last time it was proposed? LOL maybe it shouldn't be Lawyer Merion Township, but Taxer Merion Township? |

Hi! Thanks to everyone who participated in Foodapalooza II as a restaurant or judge! Thank you to everyone who attended! Thank you Majestic Wine & Spirits for the tasting! Thank you Haverford Estates for being our host! Thank you Whole Foods for the fabulous hors d'oeuvres --- that brie was amazing! For the second year in a row Primavera Pizza Kitchen took top chef honors and second place went to Haverford Estates - however - ALL the food was simply delicious and I think everyone had a great time! We spread out a bit this year, which made it easier for our guests to navigate the rooms and the food stations. Scott Zelov was the sole Lower Merion Commissioner in attendance, but he will be able to tell the 13 who weren't there what fun it was! Main Line Media News was there to cover the event! Thanks Pete! |
ATTACKED: Innocent NJ Woman Loses Eye After Attack in St. Thomas US Virgin Islands

How could I forget. Jamie was the cousin of a friend of mine who was stabbed and murdered on a street in St. John outside where some bars were and left to die like an animal on the street. Jamie Cockayne didn't have to die and he did, and the travesty of justice which followed his death was crazy and heart breaking. I believe his family still suffers. What Jamie's case showed all of us was the hell underneath the tropical heaven and the inadequacies in the criminal justice system and questionable governmental system. Now St. Thomas is reputed to be a U.S. controlled paradise, but after last week for sisters Pauline Cavalli and Maria Cavalli, it will be forever known as hell on earth. So what will the U.S. Government do this time? I ask because I felt that their response to Jamie's murder was inadequate. So some friends went for a mid-winter break to St. Thomas. A little relaxation and fun in the sun. Except right now an approximately 29 year old woman had her left eye removed at Wills Eye Hospital after falling victim to the attack of an enraged island resident. |
