Mediterranean Grill offers a casual yet upscale dining atmosphere and makes for a wonderful addition to the local dining scene.
Restaurant: Mediterranean Grill Address: 232 West Wayne Ave. Wayne, PA 19087 Rating: ★★★ of 5 stars Style: BYOB Restaurant Food: Persian Atmosphere: Casual & Comfortable Service: Friendly Price Range: $4 - $25 Parking: Onsite Parking Unique Feature: The dining room is spacious and perfect for any size group; the byob aspect is also a plus. More often than not, when diners think of Mediterranean food, their thoughts go straight to gyros and sides of tzatziki sauce. It’s not that there aren’t other options, its just that in the face of unfamiliar dining, people tend to gravitate to what they’re accustomed. Those looking for something a little more adventurous may mix it up with a shawarma or even some baba ganoush. But in the end, its these …

As director of the Chanticleer Gardens in Wayne, Bill Thomas is one of the region’s most vocal proponents of trees and their importance.
Goodwill doesn’t just grow on trees — at least not in this region. But because of the goodwill put forth by men like Bill Thomas, trees are thriving all throughout Radnor Township. As director of Chanticleer Gardens in Wayne, Thomas is one of the region’s most vocal proponents of trees and their importance. He has spent his career cultivating the cultural soil, ensuring that as long as men like him are involved, there will always be trees for future generations. “I grew up in a small Mid-western town, and we had beautiful trees," said Thomas. "A lot of the trees were dying because of disease. And it became clear to me that unless people started planting trees, there wouldn’t be any to enjoy.” Thomas, a Wisconsin native, moved to Radnor …

The Reader’s Forum has served the community as a source for literature for more than 25 years.
If The Reader's Forum's life were a book, the title of its current chapter could be, Internet Isolationism Plagues an Old Fashioned Bookstore; its Fate Now Lies in the Hands of its Community. Boutiques, specialty stores and restaurants line the avenues in charming Wayne, which boasts a wealth of history that can be seen even today in the area’s more distinguished buildings. Quaint two-story storefronts line North Wayne Avenue, the majority occupied by small businesses. Among them, The Readers Forum, an old-fashioned bookstore owned and operated by Ed Luoma, 59, and Al Willis, 62. The Reader’s Forum has served the community as a source for literature for more than 25 years. And over the years, the owners have seen competition come and go. “…

It’s this guiding principle that was passed down to her from her parents and that she has passed on to her own children, and the generations of students that she taught along the way. EDUCATION “…

Hassan Grimes was granted a continuance at his court appearance Monday, delaying his trial until 2012.
The man accused of robbing a woman at gunpoint behind the Wayne Starbucks in May Hassan Grimes was granted a continuance during a scheduled hearing at the Delaware County Court House in Media Monday, pushing the scheduled trial date into next year. The delay is due to another round of motions, as Grimes sorts out whom it will be that represents him. At Monday’s proceedings, Mark Walker, the second attorney to take on Grimes’ case in as many court appearances, filed a motion to withdrawal as council stating that he hadn’t seen his client since the last court appearance, on September, 27. Grimes stated to the court that he did have an attorney, Lopez Thompson, the original lawyer on the case. During the September 27, hearing, Thompson had …

These days it’s not whose home is worth more, but whose home is worth less.
As many Main Line property owners have found, keeping up with the Joneses isn’t all riding mowers and landscapers. The most recent trend has found that property assessments are what have kept this age-old neighborhood rivalry going. But it’s not whose home is worth more, but whose home is worth less. For homeowners, having less property value means having proportionately less property taxes. And while a smaller tax bill may be just what the household budget calls for, the possibilty of receiving a reduction is costlier than many owners anticipate. In Radnor Township, property assessments should be the same as they were in the year 2000, said Delaware County Assessment Manager John Van Zelst, unless there has been demolition, remodeling, or…

Today, there are so many charities that each month is dedicated to a different cause, a pending cure, or a group in need. People help as best they can, by donating their time, efforts, and money. Giving back has become a way of life, and an integral part of being an active member of the community.
