Ridley Park's Syndicated Columnist
Hello RPOL Members.
I enjoy your growing digital footprint in our community and in particular in our Borough of Ridley Park. The photos, the stories, the events, the blogs and comments are great, and are welcomed by all. RPOL has taken a giant step to open the dialogue and continue a very important tradition of a democracy; communication from the people, to the people.
I appreciate greatly the opportunity from RPOL to contribute a syndicated column. As editor of the Ridley NEWS, I invite you to continue to enjoy the Ridley NEWS in four color print and to read my columns and comment here on RPOL. I hope to bring you many decades of experiences of events and stories in the Ridley area and, at times, do a little stretching beyond our borders. There are many great people, neighbors, associates, friends, residents, current and past, whose roots run deep right here in Ridley Park.
As I put down the words of the people, and events, appropriate photos will accompany many. Since retiring after 50 years as a professional accountant, my pencils have been replaced by a couple of Cannon digital cameras that take excellent photos, with little help on my part.
I have worn many hats, one of the most enjoyable, being the messenger.

Linda Shockley commented on Paula's blog post Wawa now Open!!!"Usually when a Wawa that has a gas station opens near an already-existing Wawa that doesn't have gas, the old Wawa is sold. From what I've seen a new store (maybe a franchise?) called Food Mart takes over. Wonder if that will happen here."
"Hi Rebecca...Thank you for your email. Howard emailed me a picture and also a map to follow.

Paula posted a blog postWawa now Open!!!
Hi everyone, If you didn't notice but our new Wawa is now open! I spoked in there today with my little girl, the place was so nice, big and very well organized, now more bumping into each other to get coffee or a drink. And I would like to also add the property looks so peaceful and nice in the back. A better eye view then an eye sore. Wonder if other RP residances felt the same???See More
Charlie's Corner
Bob Logan
I still miss his smiling face as he would hand me a few packets of sugar for my coffee in the Ridley Park 7-11. As Darmish would be making a fresh morning pot, Bob Logan was there. He had already walked his daily mile.
Retired from Sun Oil Company, and with 70 years as a Ridley Park Fireman, Bob was a fixture in Ridley Park. His wife Helen was proud of his service as a trustee and assistant fire chief. Bob joined the fire company while in high school, shortly after his 16th birthday.
Married to Helen Phillips Logan for 57 years, they enjoyed fifty years as members of the Ridley Park Swim club, where the energetic Bob was the night watchman for 25 of those years. A season ticket holder of the
Eagles and Phillies, he kept an eye on them as he entered his 80's.
Bob had that smile and a short story into the evening hours when I would stop in to drop off the Ridley NEWS at locations in the Central Business District. He walked everywhere, and his stamina into his mid eighties reflected those mile a day morning walks.
God called Bob home a few years back; he was a gentleman, always. He was born in Philadlephia, moved into Ridley Park with his parents when he was six years old. Eighty plus years, makes Bob Logan a Parker. His service to the Community makes his special.. by Charlie Maurone.

The weather will be a lot like the last two days in Ridley Park. Mostly cloudy skies will prevail and added instability to the atmosphere will create pop-up thunderstorms. Because of this I have lowered my T-storm probability to 20%. Thankfully today there is no vertical motion in the atmosphere and any storm that develops will be short-lasting. High of 88ºF.

looking for a place where I can have about 25 people to celebrate the 10th anniversary of my mom passing. I wanted to get my family and friends together to remember what a wonderful person my mom was and is.
Anyway you may suggest to hold this? I was thinking of out doors/buffett, money is tight but still wanted to have it somewhere. I would need tables and chairs or picnic tables to have a place to enjoy food. Local to delaware county, but if something close outside, please…

Hey Ridley Park, step up the recycling!
Posted by Rebecca Clemmer on May 21, 2012 at 9:27am 0 Comments 2 Likes
I took a walk in the 3rd precinct this morning and was dismayed at how many trash cans and bags included items that should be recycled instead - clear-cut things like cardboard boxes and empty bottles.
Let's step it up! Put those items out on the right day, don't be lazy and include them with your trash!

For the short time I've known Bob Berger, his smiling grin and dimples haven't given away the cards he's holding close to his chest. That wasn't the case at May's Borough Council meeting when the leader of Ridley Park's Borough Council laid-out his cards on the table and said he was "going on the attack"…

Have you planted your vegetables yet? This weekend I plan to finally get my tomatoes into the ground, along with Swiss chard, basil, and zinnia plants. Grew them from seed and proud I am!
What's in your veggie garden?
