North Wayne: A Plea For Responsible and Sensitive Development

Not to beat a dead horse, but we may..... on Monday May 12 at 7 p.m., the Radnor Township Board of Commissioners will discuss and do who knows what else with regard to the issue of 236 N. Aberdeen Ave in North Wayne.

Here is another shot of the street and of current cramped parking conditions:

Oh, It's a Big Plan Alrighty...

...and we're not sure it is anything to brag about in hospital town, err, Bryn Mawr...you know, that town that tore down essentially all of the affordable housing and small neighborhoods?

Why Can't We Have This?

Ya know, this is so common sense you know it would never, ever happen in Lower Merion....kind of like those evil speed humps that were outlawed, but we digress...

Lilacs and Development Don't Smell So Sweet Together

Well, well, well. Many thanks to Main Line Life for bringing us this editorial by one of our Vice Presidents:

Time for sweet scent of lilacs and new development plans
By Carla J. Zambelli

Ahhh Spring! The landscape is lush with greenness and the air heavy with the scents of lilac and old fashioned viburnum. But what else does spring bring us as citizens up and down the Main Line? A full course of new and disturbing smaller development plans to peruse.

Jane Dellheim's Appointment in Montco? Who knew?

What we are talking about is the very curious appointment of Jane Dellheim to a Montgomery County Board? We heard about it mentioned on either PAWatercooler or Writemarsh or both (and Writemarsh is exceptionally amusing today, so check it out!)

What's Up With The Crabapple and The Appleford Estate ?

Appleford Estate in Villanova is one of our township's beautiful historic resources. From the gracious home to the utterly fabulous gardens, it's a real gem.

Except not according to some crabapple who lives next door. Except does he really live next door or is he just another developer/real estate speculator who happens to own a property next door who is suing Appleford and/or the township? And what gives with this gent? It's not like Appleford appeared overnight. He purchased the property knowing that this property was next door, and purchased this property knowing there were weddings there.

What's All The Barking About?

Last night's Wednesday line up at Lower Merion Township was interesting on many levels....And that doesn't include trapping kitties for being outside - cats not for nothing do serve a purpose when hunting mice and vermin outside....But what was truly fascinating were the large throng of folks who turned out to bark at the Board of Commissioners over what can only be assumed is enforcement of leash laws.

A lot of the yapping started when Mike Weilbacher wrote an editorial about dogs off lead at Rolling Hill. Don't nip at our heels, but he has a point.
