It's Like "La Ronda" is in Jail.....


Tags:

I went to see La Ronda today. (Every photo taken was from outside the gates and on the street.) I hadn't been buy in a long while. First thing I noticed? A lot of houses for sale on Mt. Pleasant near La Ronda - or to me it seemed to be a lot. I almost got side swiped by an asshat in a silver Porsche who thought he was driving a slot car on a curve - he was more than half in my lane and zooming - and if he can't keep a car meant to hang tight on curves in it's lane, well, that is a menace who doesn't deserve a Porsche no matter what he thinks he can afford...but I digress.

So I drove onto Roscommon Road an parked. Me and a zoom lense stood outside the gate along with another photographer and snapped away.

La Ronda has a sadness now. And the no trespassing signs, while necessary along with the padlocked gates reminds me of a prison. La Ronda is in jail. Will someone Free La Ronda?

So Explain To Me Why Ardmore Can't Have a Town Watch?


Tags:

So, I heard recently that some folks in South Ardmore wanted a Town Watch for Ardmore? I thought that a fine idea, right? I do not see these folks as potential vigilantes, just people who care about the community.

RADNOR: Will The Last Person Out of The Township Building, Please Turn Out The Lights?


Tags:

If it's Friday, we must be leaving?

Sigh....Friday is like death day in Radnor Township...so I asked a question a while ago HERE :

Any truth to the rumor that John Rutty, the nice police superintendant is resigning or retiring?

Is it true 2 lobstahs got a one week suspension? Malloy and Blomstrom?

Is Dave interviewing "down east"?

Then I got a couple calls...then I got back online and saw this comment:

More personnel changes in Radnor. We received this post from a very reliable source at www.local-issues.com -

Aha! Ardmore Intrigue! Predictable Lower Merion Response! Thank You David Schoenhard!


Tags:

I do not have much time, but A+++++++ to Main Line Times and Cheryl Allison for knocking it out of the ballpark today! Home run! Smoking gun!

I love it when professionals with former relationships with Lower Merion Township in essence, validate the concerns of residents....and the Doug Cleland response here is OH SO TELLING!

Once again, the esteemed Township of Lower Merion gives off eau de asshat.

It may not be the Eiffel Tower or the Guggenheim Museum. But to its designer, the “annex” to Lower Merion Township’s police building, as it’s called, is a fairly pleasing and functional addition to the Township Building complex.

Spending Like Drunken Sailors, or David v. Goliath with an Open Checkbook


Tags:

So...as many of you have heard, Lower Merion School District's initial petition in Does v. LMSD did not go so well for them. I've actually seen a lawyer friend cringe when they read this one. This was the work of their fine outside counsel, Wisler Pearlstine, guided by partner Ken Roos. This firm's work runs the taxpayers ~ $750 an hour.

Now, if I had gotten an initial order like this one, I might be thinking twice about going forward. I'm not looking so good with the Judge, I look now like a serious bully demanding that children's names and addresses be published for all to see, and, well, this is only 9 kids, all they want is choice, and even if I extended that to all in the blue box we're only talking 12-15 kids a year.

Except, this is Lower Merion School District, and it appears arrogance and ego are paramount. When they blow it, they want to go big and, as others have said, 'crush' the little guy. In this case, real little as these are kids. They want to stand up for their rights? Crush 'em. That's what we teach...er...that's what we kind of teach our students. We just want to teach them a lesson.

NEW Act 3: Was the Radnor High School Senior Musical censored arbitrarily? Judy Sherry's public comments to RSB. (video)


Tags:

The decision to cancel this year's Radnor High School Senior Musical is is a dark mark on Radnor School Directors and Superintendent Dr. Linda Grobman.

Judy Sherry calls out Superintendent Dr. Linda Grobman, Radnor High School Principal, Mark Schellenger and Radnor School Directors for their inability take responsibility for their actions and follow the RSD Honor Code as students must.
