👋Good Morning, Upper Merion!

Happy Friday! It’s Final Four weekend, the defending World Series champs are in town to take on your Phillies, and for some of you, spring break is right around the corner. After checking the forecast, it also probably wouldn’t hurt to have a backup (indoor) plan for the weekend.

If you’re looking to venture outside of Upper Merion or would like to see even more options, head on over to The Main Line Guide, where Upper Merion Area gems are showcased daily.

Did I mention you can upload your events, classes and special food deals onto The Main Line Guide all by yourself? And that it’s FREE? It’s already getting several hundred daily visitors looking for their next mini-adventure, so why not let them know what you have going on? Oh, and the more details the better! CLICK HERE to tell the locals all about it!

I hope you find something helpful from this issue!

Ciao for now!
