Looks like there is an opening date for Andy’s Diner & Pub, the former H.I. Rib & Co. on Ridge Pike — and it’s today!
By the look of it, they put some work into the place after H.I went under and its going to be open 24 hours…that’s exciting! Well, a diner that is in Conshohocken and is not the 401 Diner is good news in my book. I don’t think I’ll ever be back in the 401 — too many bad meals.
For some reason, there was a delay of about 2 weeks from paper publish to online publish, but here it is! I was interviewed for this article about a month ago. If you caught it, a pretty good article in the MyCommunity Section of the Sunday Philadelphia Inquirer. That’s the little insert section on a very local scale.
So, if you are new to this web site, welcome!

I’m not going to talk about the ins and outs or the legality of what Lower Merion SD is accused of doing. As an IT professional, specifically working on Network and System Security, I have quite a few problems with not only what LMSD was doing but also the way they did it. There are simply better ways to recover stolen or lost systems then with photographic means. In any case, there has been some recent developments that warrant a synopsis of information links on the situation, the legal side of things and how this might play out….enjoy
Great piece in the The Philadelphia Inquirer today on the history and revival on the ‘Conshohockens’. (**Update** — Messed up the link the first time!)
As a new resident of the Borough, the reason I moved here is because of the revival. Based on what I have read and heard, it was not the type of a place a young, new homeowner would want to live.
For the most part, I agree with a lot of what the article says regarding the growth and its ability (or inability?) to slow down. But, to both the residents and the government’s credit, I feel like the roots of a small town, blue collar town is still in place. I love the fact that the Borough continues the traditions such as parades down Fayette Street, the Soap Box Derby and Conshy Fun Fest that keep the residential strength in place. It is still a very walkable, safe, friendly town that I look forward to spending many years in.
The traffic situation over the Matsonford Bridge seems to have improved (a slow down in economy helps as well) and generally the non-stop construction of new buildings off the river has slowed to a trickle.
In my opinion, the future looks bright…
