Thaddeus Bartkowski III, owner of Bartkowski Investment Group, Inc.’s (BIG), shares his views with Patch as several townships–including Marple and Newtown–decide the fate of the billboard controversy. The Haverford Township Zoning Hearing Board will decide on the issue at 7 p.m. at Thursday's meeting.

The deli is expected to open in early February, the owner said.
BROOMALL–Mrs. Marty's Deli, a Broomall staple, is opening its third location in Bryn Mawr, likely the first weekend in February, said owner Marty Godfrey. "I'm very excited, and I've been inundated—very nicely—by all the lovely people in the area wishing me well and wanting to know when I could open for eight or nine months," Godfrey said. Mrs. Marty's Deli opened in Broomall in 1984 and now has a second location in Media. Godfrey and co-owner Scott Finkelstein chose the 22 N. Bryn Mawr Ave. location (next to the UPS Store) because there's no other deli in the area and because a frequent customer of the Broomall location owns the building and convinced Godfrey to bring the shop there, he said. The Bryn Mawr deli will offer the same Jewish …

Patch food writer Clara Park reviews Tiffin in Bryn Mawr.
BRYN MAWR–I used to think Indian food was one of those love it-or-hate it cuisines until very recently. My orders typically consist of protein and vegetable dishes with wonderfully rich sauces, spices and flavor combinations that showcase the diversity of Indian cuisine, but I realized that Indian food can also be plain and mild. Armed with this newfound realization, I took an Indian food newbie to Tiffin in Bryn Mawr for her first Indian food experience. I was positive I would be able to provide her with a great meal regardless of whatever dining hang-ups she may have had. Fortunately for me, she was game for anything. We started off with aloo papri chaat and vegetable samosas. The crisp flour dumplings filled with potatoes and peas were …
An open house was held at the Franklin Avenue home Dec. 2.
BRYN MAWR–When Chris and Sandy Ross—who met at Gettysburg College before living in New York, New Jersey and Oregon—decided they wanted an environmentally friendly home, a piece of land in Bryn Mawr presented itself. A property on the first block of Franklin Avenue in Bryn Mawr seemed to provide good opportunities for natural light, and at 2,400 square feet, it would be a fairly small home. “Less is more,” said Philadelphia-based architect Anthony Miksitz. “I try to get clients to work smaller… If you build a 6,000-sq. ft. house and call it ‘green,’ it’s not green.” The previous property owner had torn down a home there with the intention of rebuilding but never did. The new owners also had the challenge of working around a large Japanese …
