Spring is Coming, I Promise.

Yes, as I type it is 4 degrees, but warmer days are coming. Looking at this photo gives me hope; lush green grass, leaves on the trees, flowers, SUN! Fortunately the owners of 169 Rosemary take such pride in their outdoor oasis that they have a photo from warmer days, AHHH, […]

Peaceful Ambler Area Retreat

Ambler is a sought after area for many reasons, one of them being the charming downtown area; Main Street, USA, at it’s finest. Great restaurants, shops, theaters and more, all contained within a few blocks, surrounded by a wonderful, close knit community. 1120 Hagues Mill Road is NOT your average Ambler […]

Ambler Cabaret for sale, again.

Unfortunately, the Ambler Cabaret was before my time. I’ve heard so many stories of great bands who played there and good times a plenty over the years. As I’m sure you know, the Cabaret closed over 20 years ago and has been out of commission since. It changed hands last […]

Ambler Anomaly

If you are reading this, likely you are familiar with Ambler and have come to love its “old world charm” as I have. Boasting many turn of the century homes, some quite grand, new construction homes are few and far between in this town of ours. Typically, the 1950’s split […]

Frankly Speaking

To say that politics is not my cup of tea is putting it mildly. It is a topic of conversation that I often stray from, as I tend to keep those opinions to myself. I struggle with the “small fish in a big sea” feeling when it comes to national […]
