In addition, our consultants have inter- viewed nearly sixty park users; the Borough distributed a Community Open Space Survey, which received more than 200 responses; and the committee held a public meeting on July 19, 2005, that was attended by 85 people. This draft of the plan signals the beginning of broader public discussion. There must be public hearings at the Borough’s Planning Commission and Borough Council, and the Council must officially adopt this plan. We expect that community discussion will take place throughout this time, with the final approval process taking place in 2006. AN OPEN SPACE MASTER PLAN FOR NARBERTH Goals Implementation The plan recommends the following key goals: Most of the projects recommended in the plan, and all of the projects recommended as priorities, could be eligible for • “re-imagine” existing open spaces so they serve many funding through Montgomery County’s Green Town/Green purposes and many elements of the community, Fields program.

    Graduate Student Housing Guide College of Liberal Arts and Sciences Housing Guide Villanova University does not offer any on-campus housing for graduate students. This Housing Guide is meant to give you guidance in acclimating yourself to the Villanova area, help you find housing, give you tips about moving to the region, and introduce you to the Graduate Student Housing Blog (www.villanovagradhousing.com). Villanova’s Location Villanova is located in Villanova, Pennsylvania. Located in Radnor Township, Delaware County, Villanova is a suburb of Philadelphia, approximately 12 miles west of Center City Philadelphia. Villanova is part of a string of small towns known as the “Main Line.” The Main Line refers to the suburbs located west of the city along the SEPTA Paoli/Thorndale train line. Some of the towns along the Main Line, include, Merion Station, Narberth, Wynnewood, Ardmore, Haverford, Bryn Mawr, Rosemont, Villanova, Wayne, and Devon. Any of these towns would be no more than a 15-20 minute drive from Villanova’s campus. If you are using your GPS, you will want to use “800 Lancaster Avenue, Villanova, PA 19085” to locate campus. 1 Transportation Villanova’s campus is very conveniently located both by car and public transportation. By Car If you plan to bring a car, please be aware that Pennsylvania has some of the highest vehicle insurance rates in the country, as well as a more complicated automobile registration process.

Preface This cultural history of Narberth was written by Victoria Donohoe, a lifelong resident of Narberth. It was written over a forty-year period from about 1980 until her death in 2018. Victoria did not complete the book but left it in manuscript form in her house. Neighbor and friend Nancy Greene, who had helped type chapters for Victoria in the last years of her life, was able to secure Victoria's writings (and supporting documentation) when Victoria was moved into a retirement home. Victoria died before the book could be completed but Nancy has typed and organized the material as closely as possible to the way she believes Victoria would have wanted it.
