Main Line PA Today Real Estate ~ Photo Friday
Gardening Around The Main Line and Chester County Pennsylvania.
Our Photo Friday selection is real estate related in spirit. I love Sunflowers. Every year I plant some seeds in the early Spring and then watch in amazement as the Sunflowers reach for the sky, from a small beginning to a glorious finish in the Fall. Reminds me of the adage, “mighty oaks from little acorns grow”. Sunflowers give us a glimpse of beauty, drama AND usefulness. Welcome to nature’s banquet table in the Fall when Sunflowers go to seed. The edible Sunflower variety is what you want. I like Park Seeds. They’ll send you a nice catalog in late Winter for Spring gardening dreams. Main Line Gardens on Paoli Pike in Malvern is one of my favorite Garden Centers on the Main Line and in Chester County. Also Waterloo Gardens in Devon and Exton offer good choices.

Rita’s Water Ice – Philadelphia Main Line Style “Yums”
Rita’s Water Ice In The Chesterbrook Shopping Center, Wayne Pa is on my Yums List of places to stop and relax with a client or with my favorite little people. As the days get longer and the temperatures rise, a refreshing “raspberry” or “lemon” Italian Water Ice cools the spirits. Rita’s is made with fresh fruit juice daily in a multitude of flavors and it’s fat free! Outside tables, the signature green, red and white stripes, charming umbrellas and the occasional local band will get your foot tapping. If you have some “little people” in tow, you might take a quick stroll over to Wilson Park and let them climb the jungle gym.
Rita’s also has Frozen Custard, with sprinkles or try a decadent “Blendini” with Frozen Custard and Oreo Cookie Chips. Can’t make up your mind, try the Misto a smooth blend of fruit ice and frozen custard. Get your card stamped. You’ll want to come back for sure. After 10 visits, you get a “freebie”.
Chesterbrook
The Community of Chesterbrook is a delightful, mostly town home community of over 4,600 residents located in the 19087 Wayne Zip Code. Chesterbrook, known as a Planned Unit Development, or PUD, in real estate terms, is an excellent real estate investment.

The Free WiFi Yellow Brick Road
As a Real Estate Agent, I’ve been in search of Oz or the Holy Grail of Real Estate, the Paperless Transaction, and the Wizard of the Free WiFi connection.
The truth is, it’s not easy to find the yellow brick road of a Free WiFi connection along the Philadelphia Main Line and Western Suburbs. And we still kill a lot of trees in real estate. I now have all of my records stored in my computer AND on paper. Now that we’re mostly wired in real estate, we might be tempted to look back with some disdain for the old MLS Books, 3X5 cards and “runners” to deliver contracts. But not so fast, we still have one foot in, and one foot out, of the technology revolution.
“BL” ( before laptop), I often lugged around 3 or 4 trade show canvas bags filled with lock boxes and MLS Map Books, etc stashed in the trunk of my car.
Today, my Garmin GPS gets me there without too many Realtor U Turns and my IBM Think Pad dreams of replacing stacks of paper………….when I can get connected. Stay tuned. I’ve got some “hot” Hot Spots for you right here on the Main Line and Western Suburbs.
If you live on the West Coast and you’re reading this, you’re probably thinking, “What’s she talking about, when I can get connected?”
My Dream Free WiFi Real Estate Cafe
The last time I visited family in California, we had lunch in a cute little cafe. It was no bigger than the famous Hymie’s in Bala Cynwyd, Nudy’s in Berwyn or Our Deli in Paoli. But, they were wired. You know, like Free WiFi Wired. Several people, one looked like a Realtor with a client, just lounged about on a sunny California day, multi-tasking, enjoying a smoothie and a “crunchy lunch”. It was awesome.
One can only dream! So, for my Main Line Pa Today friends here’s my right coast Philadelphia Main Line Read the rest of this entry »

Wegman’s or No Deal – My Kinda Guy!
April 23rd, 2008 categories: Chester County, Lifestyle
Wegman’s and Realtors – It’s All About The Service!
What’s a Wegman’s? This is what I love about real estate. You’re always just one phone call
away from working with a great client.
It was a slow day in early Spring. Late in the afternoon. I was giving in to a touch of Spring Fever and thinking about walking Daisy. The phone rang, “Hey Judy, I’ve been on your website for about 6 months. Great information. Listen, I might have to relocate to Philadelphia for my job, BUT I’ll only move if I can be close to Wegman’s.
….Uh, me “What’s a Wegman’s?. I was a little smoother than that, but not much. So I “Googled”, which is what I’ve learned to do when I need to know something. Guess what? Read the rest of this entry »

Have You Heard? -The Jenkins Arboretum Is In Your Back Yard!
The Jenkins Arboretum , located just off of the Devon 202 Interchange on Devon State Road in Tredyffrin Township is one of the Main Line’s secret garden gems.
