Sizing up Saquon’s secret weapon – the NEUBIE (We tried it!); Wokworks; About Face for VF Military Academy; Sweet longevity deal; This and That & more MMO

November 20, 2025 / By Caroline O'Halloran / 20 Comments /

Main Line athletes, weekend warriors and post-op patients are all getting a charge out of the NEUBIE, the new-ish electric stimulator that Tredyffrin’s own Saquon Barkley swears by.

Only 14 providers in PA have it and only two are local: Christine Hayes Physical Therapy & Integrative Healing Center in Paoli and at Bryn Mawr Sports Rehab.

Main Line teacher/author Jim Zervanos charms with ‘American Gyro’

November 14, 2025 / By Caroline O'Halloran / 1 Comment /

Ask Bala Cynwyd’s Jim Zervanos if his latest book – a sweet, funny, coming-of-age novel about a Greek American growing up outside Philly – is autobiographical and you receive a resounding … not really.

“The literal story is entirely made up but it’s more personal to me than anything I’ve written.”

What on earth is going on in Gladwyne, the Main Line’s priciest zip code? We’ve got some answers.

November 2, 2025 / By Caroline O'Halloran / /

It’s a mystery that’s consumed this happy hamlet for months: Why, oh why, is a local residential developer gobbling up historic buildings in the heart of Gladwyne Village? And they’re all on opposite sides of the street, so what the heck is he planning?

Smile and say CHEESE: Wildly popular in Bryn Mawr, Johnny’s Pizza now open in Wayne

October 30, 2025 / By Caroline O'Halloran / /

It’s an established Main Line quirk: locals rarely cross the Blue Route.

That’s why a second Johnny’s Pizza in Wayne – just 4.4 miles from the bustling Bryn Mawr original – isn’t a self-sabotaging act of cannibalization.

It makes sense.

With a new name and developer, it’s go time for ‘The Piazza at Ardmore,’ the area’s most ambitious redevelopment since Suburban Square

October 28, 2025 / By Caroline / /

When Toll Brothers pulled out in 2024, the future of the long-stalled “Piazza Project” seemed cloudy.

With climbing costs forcing Main Line developers to press pause, some wondered if the mammoth mixed-used project – the largest of its kind in Ardmore history – would be put on ice indefinitely. If a behemoth like Toll Bros. could be blown off course by stiff economic headwinds, would anyone step up?

Well, wonder no more.
