  • Main Line Neighborhood Guide©
    Jennifer LeBow’s Main Line Neighborhood Guide© Jennifer LeBow’s Main Line Neighborhood Guide What areas does the Main Line include? Depending on whom you ask, the Main Line always includes the “lower Main Line,”, which is comprised of Ardmore, Bala Cynwyd, Bryn Mawr, Gladwyne, Haverford, Merion, Narberth, Penn Valley and Wynnewood. You may notice my guide has a little more information on the lower (eastern) Main Line as that’s where I grew up and where I chose to raise my own family, so it’s my “stomping grounds”. The upper Main Line lies directly to the west and includes Villanova, Radnor, Wayne, Devon, Berwyn, Paoli and Malvern. I know the neighborhoods, the schools, the shopping areas, the historically significant (or sometimes just quirky and interesting) places and buildings, the shortcuts (you’ll need to know these) and the important places to know about that guide books would never mention. Think of me as your resource for whatever you’re trying to find, from a reliable plumber to where to get your dog groomed. Click here for the Wikipedia description of the Main Line. Copyright Jennifer LeBow, jenniferlebow.com, [email protected], 610.308.5973 1 What does “The Main Line” refer to? The map shows the train stations, (circled in red along the Paoli local line) Villanova (left) and Overbrook (right) which is the last stop before down-town Philadelphia). While it takes about 35 minutes (in no traffic) to drive from Wayne to Overbrook, the train takes 25 minutes. Total distance is about 9 miles. There are also 5 stations just west of Wayne.

Sandwiched between the nation’s largest city, New York, and its capital, Washington, DC., Philadelphia is often left in the shadows of its better-known mid- Atlantic neighbors. The city also did not garner national attention during the era of school desegregation; it was not the site of a court case that made it past the state level, and it did not see mass protests by segregationists of the kind that made fellow northern city Boston a national symbol of resistance to integration. But Philadelphia was home to one of the most persistent, long-lasting efforts at school integration in any city across the country.
