Holiday Window Display- Contender #1

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!

An Ambler Farmer’s Market

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 […]

Grand Re-Opening of the Ambler Library

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 […]

Snow Patrol

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 […]

Open House, Sunday Jan 31, 1-3pm

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 […]

Ambler Real Estate News

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 […]

Who knew “The Man” had a sense of humor?

Ambler’s finest recently added these little gems to many of the borough stop signs.  I think they’re great; I smile every time I see one, and you know what they say… “to be forewarned is to be forearmed.”

Shanachie gets a facelift

  Taking a stroll through downtown Ambler last weekend I stopped dead in my tracks, not only was The Shanachie undergoing a radical change, but guess who was heading up the project?  None other than Ed Egan, owner of The Shanachie Irish Pub.  Now if that isn’t small town, I don’t know what […]
