Every time there’s a snow storm we take a walk into town and enjoy the beauty and peace of a quite town blanketed in snow. Wednesday nights storm was no exception, I captured this lovely photo on my way home. I hope you enjoy it!

Who else is wondering what is going on at the corner of Butler and Bethlehem? I must drive past this spot at least 2,3,4 times a day, everyday, and for years it sat, former Exxon, long defunct and forever for sale. I did notice the for sale sign come down […]

Yep, that’s right, brewpub, in Ambler, you heard me! I couldn’t be more excited that 1) there is a craft brewery coming to town and 2) the wonderful, seemingly forever vacant, Victorian house on the corner of Forest Avenue and Main Street will breath life again!

If you are familiar with Sweet Bytes Internet Cafe then you may be wondering what this Grand Re-Opening is all about.

Ambler’s Holiday Window Display Contest is in full swing. In my travels last night I saw a few of the displays and have decided to feature them here, one by one. The brisk night really complemented the winter wonderland that has taken over the storefront of The Ambler Flower Shop. Great job Gene!

As you may know, Ambler recently hosted its 19th annual Oktoberfest. I spent a few of the initial Oktoberfest hours volunteering and had then planned to take some photos to share with you… but there was so much going on and I ended up having such a good time that my […]

Almost everyday, and sometimes several times a day, I drive down Race Street and pass our humble library. It has looked so tired and sad the past few months, the only flash of color in the landscape was the yellow caution tape barring its front stairs. Unfortunately the library fell victim to one […]

Call me crazy, or optimistic, but I actually felt Spring in the air today! Of course the greatly anticipated vernal equinox is still several weeks away, and we will continue to endure cold, and dare I say possibly more snow, but today Spring reared its lovely head. This realization prompted me to […]

Come visit me Sunday and see one of Ambler’s great historic homes. 86 Orange Avenue was built in 1890 in the heyday of Keasbey-Mattison. True to construction of the time it is a well-built, solid stone twin abounding with charm and character. This home features 3 levels, all with hardwood floors, an […]

It is hard to believe that we only have three months left in 2009! If the calender didn’t aptly bring this to light, I would have deduced the impending winter due to the seemingly abrupt need for a wool poncho and slippers while writing this. Anyway… I thought it would be a […]
