📣 Mahjong, Dirty Sodas & Major News...on the Main Line
A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of breakfasting with the staff of Main Line Neighbors, a feat that takes some planning due to busy schedules, snow storms, and life in general. Our fearless leader and MLN founder selected Mantines Café in Wayne, a place I had never heard of but was anxious to try. New adventures work for me.
When I put the directions into my GPS, it took me outside of what I refer to as Wayne proper, almost out to Devon, yet the address still proclaimed Wayne. The place was darling and the food delicious. However, upon arriving, I made my typical statement when I drive past North Wayne Avenue, “This is beyond the boundaries of my pride land!” READ MORE

Summer break is around the corner. Kids deserve a summer break, but their math skills don’t have to take one.
Students can lose 2–3 months of math skills over the summer.
At Mathnasium of Exton, we help students stay sharp (or get ahead) with a personalized learning plan tailored to exactly where they are. Whether your child needs to catch up, build confidence, or be challenged, we focus on true understanding—not memorization.
Families often come to us worried. They stay because their child starts to get it—and their confidence takes off.
The earlier you start, the easier it is to prevent learning gaps.
