A Cut Above Deli was Patch readers' choice as the place that makes the best hoagies in town.
We asked, you answered. A Cut above Deli is, in your opinion, the place that makes the best hoagies in the area. According to Patch's readers' choice voting system, Wawa Food Markets scored the highest in poll votes while A Cut Above Deli came in second. However, A Cut Above scored above Wawa in most directory reviews on their Patch Place Listing. The tie was broken with the number of comments praising which hoagie spot was their favorite. It was a tight race but Marple Newtown Patch readers have spoken and A Cut Above Deli received the most praise in our poll. A Cut Above has been serving the Marple Newtown area since 1997 and serves all its specialty hoagies on Sarcone's bread from South Philly–the true Philly way. Check out our …

The Broomall McDonald's will fully reopen its restaurant on June 15, according to an employee.
BROOMALL–Since late April to early May, the Broomall McDonald's has been alternating its service to its customers by offering dine-in only to its patrons then switching over to drive-thru only. The alternating service has been due to the restaurant's remodeling project as part of the chain's nationwide campaign in changing their image from their well-known image as a fast food restaurant to more of a "casual dining" restaurant. One of the big changes to the restaurant has already been constructed and currently being used: two side-by-side drive thru lanes, each with their own menu boards and speakers, to help with traffic flow off of Sproul Road. Though the dine-in portion of the restaurant is currently closed to the public, customers can …

Joyce's Salon in Ardmore, run by Joyce Goldhahn, of Broomall, is now run by Joyce's daughter, also of Broomall, and has been in business since 1970.
ARDMORE–Tucked into an unassuming storefront on E. County Line Avenue in Ardmore is a small salon with a long history. Joyce's has been doling out cuts and colors for 42 years now, and some of the salon's clients have been coming for just as long, or longer. Joyce Goldhahn, of Broomall, the salon's original owner, worked side-by-side in the salon with her daughter, Kathy DiMario, also from Broomall, for 29 years before retiring in December of 2011. The pair met with Patch recently to talk about the salon's beginnings, their experience working together, and what the future holds. In 1970, Goldhahn was a single mom in her mid-20s, working at a hair salon in Philadelphia. When her brother-in-law decided that year to sell his building at 2608…
