“Chanticleer is an absolutely breathtaking space. Better than Longwood, in my opinion! Do not miss this garden in the Philadelphia area- it’s truly the best one!We love to head to Terrain afterwards (8 min drive away) for lunch and to browse garden goodies / souvenirs :)Picnic area: They have tables near the kitchen gardens for picnics!”
“We found this place by chance on a drive and we really enjoyed it. The place was opened to the public and there were volunteers at the entrance that were able to answer questions concerning the once private residence. The paths were very well managed and the gardens (even though still early spring) were lovely. Great place to relax and take in nature. We highly recommend.”
“Adoptions From The Heart is an excellent adoption agency. Their staff is knowledgeable and caring, and they truly care about birth mothers and adoptive families. We were impressed with their level of professionalism and attention to detail throughout the adoption process. They helped us navigate the legal complexities of adoption and made the entire process as stress-free as possible. We highly recommend them to anyone considering adoption.”
“Everyone was amazing, and so nice. The social workers are so kind, and helpful! Being here during a hard time brought us so much comfort. Thank you Ronald McDonald ❤️”
“last winter i took part in one of the NBW Adult Bike Repair courses and it was a huge game changer in my confidence performing maintenance and repairs on my bike as needed! i highly recommend this course to anyone who is looking to improve their relationship with their bike. i feel so much more empowered as a daily commuter now that i understand the basics of how my bike works and functions.
i took a small spill the other day and when i got back on my bike i could tell something was off. instead of panicking i was able to go through the list of things i learned in the course, figure out the issue (my back break pads had been knocked out of alignment), i made the adjustment and was back on my way to work in just a few minutes!
thank you to andrew for teaching the course and the other kind volunteers who helped out each week, the knowledge you shared is being put to use for me often!!”

“Great place to go and rest or hold quiet gatherings or conferences. The rooms are a bit outdated, but they make it up by serving some delicious food. Some of the greens they grow themselves and the yogurt and granola they make in house and it's absolutely delicious. The barn worship space is lovely and the vibe is very friendly.”
“It's small, but there's lot of variety at Hildacy. Trails, open fields of grass, streams...pretty much whatever natural spaces you're into. It's not a popular spot so you can expect some privacy even in summer. Free entrance and parking”

“Books Through Bars does excellent work in sending free book packages to inmates in Pennsylvania and surrounding states. They're completely volunteer-run & host volunteering sessions for people to help pick/pack books. Volunteer organizers are friendly and helpful. I highly recommend volunteering there! You can just drop in & spend 30 minutes or a few hours, whatever you like. Whenever I volunteer there, it feels like I'm really making a difference in someone's life -- because I am. It's an eye-opening experience that gives me a new perspective. Books Through Bars also takes donations (money, books they need, supplies) so there are lots of ways to support them even if you can't make it down there in person.”
“Wonderful staff, great place to learn the basics of making jewelry or further your skills with their diverse array of classes. Check their website for current class lists... I just signed up for my third class :).”
“Saunders Woods Preserve is a 25-acre haven of tranquility for both wildlife and the Gladwyne community. Donated to Natural Lands in 1988 by Dorothy Saunders, the preserve was originally known as “Little Farm” and has long been a place of refuge. The Bridlewild Trail meanders through the preserve, connecting to a network of community paths. Visitors can enjoy a lively forest habitat and an open meadow, which is home to various bird species. The circa-1830 barn adds historical charm and serves as a welcoming space for families, students, scout troops, equestrians, and community members.”

“I have been visiting this store for over 25 years. Plenty of clothing, brick a brac, small electronics and housewares. Occasionally a nice piece of furniture.I just bought a beautiful set of hand painted wine glasses and carafe for about $10. Love ❤ this place.”
“If you want to give your kids a lifelong love for the game please I implore you to sent them to Legacy. The program for munchkins are well designed for fun and also most importantly the fundamentals in the game. I’m very much impressed with the drills that are used on 4-7 year olds. I wished I had this as a child. The ratio of coach to kids were 1 to 4 on average depending on the day but not more than 1 to 6.”
“I hesitate giving this place for stars. Want to give it five. But, if I’m honest, some of the machines need to be updated or refurbished.
I’ve never used the pool. I should give that caveat as well.
The wellness area has pretty much anything I want to use or need to use for my workouts. I think that this place is fantastic. It’s never overcrowded, it’s never full of bros. Anyone I’ve ever encountered here, no matter the age or background, has been kind and considerate. I’ve been going regularly for the last three months or so and I’m starting to learn peoples names who work there. Everyone seems to really care about the work that they do, and it makes such a great experience. I’m happy that this is within walking distance of my house, just a little over a mile, but it only takes me five minutes to get there if I want to take my lunch as a mental break.
Fantastic place!”
“If you are a senior citizen and sitting alone in your home with nothing to do but read or watch TV, you are missing out on something really great! Journey's Way is the place you need to visit. A senior center with more things to do than you can imagine, this is where you need to come to really start living again! There is virtually something for everyone, and I know this to be true because I have been a member there since 2011. I originally joined to learn how to play bridge but over the years, I've done so many different things there that I have yet to join the bridge group! Music, art, crafts, reading, writing, discussion groups, help with modern technology (computer, iPhone, iPad help), jewelry making, and so, so much more - you really need to stop in and talk to Mark Weber, who will arrange for a guided tour of the place. Some people like to just come for lunch or bingo, and that is perfectly fine, too. Yes, we offer bingo each week, and have delicious luncheon meals every day there. There are many specials that happen at JW as well - far too many things to do to list here! Call or stop in and if you like it, you can join. Membership is not mandatory, but it does grant certain privileges. You do not need to be alone anymore. Come meet and make some new friends and see how great being a 'senior ager' can be.”
“I try to make time at least once a week to stop here. Last week, I bought a practically brand new beach cruiser for 19.99. Last year, I scored a chinchilla coat for $45 (I accidentally knocked over an older woman, trying to beat her to it, but she only sustained minor injuries).”
