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???

Mary Duff lost her father, a Minneapolis Fire Battalion Chief, when he received massive smoke inhalation during a rescue mission of his men.  Bob Nilon was playing professional hockey with the Minneapolis Millers when they met. They married in 1943 while Bob was serving in the US Army. A First Lieutenant, he was…

Can someone tell me where Nevin Park is?

I have lived in R.P for 40yrs. and have never heard of it.

Thanks

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…

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"…

Tonight is Ridley's Senior Prom, and if you keep your eyes open and watch your neighborhood around the 5-6:30 time period you may be able to spy handsome gentlemen and girls bright as flowers having their pictures taken on a lovely spring evening!

It's Mother's Day Sunday and that special day once a year, where moms get to collect all the attention and do all she wants, wasn't the reason why a series of moms started mother's day in the first place.



For a millennium moms everywhere had been losing their sons in battle, but it wasn't until the author of The Battle Hymn of the Republic thought-up Mother's Day…

The Taylor Community Foundation presented $98,000 in scholarship awards to 14 Delaware County high school seniors and the Community Impact Award to Ridley Park Borough Council President Bob Berger at the foundation’s 11th annual recognition reception at the Springhaven Club last month reports …

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?

There is a dispute as to whether or not Democrat Ken Harper has been endorsed by the Delaware County Democratic Committee as a write-in candidate for state representative for the 162nd District, writes …

He has lived in Ridley Park for over 50 years;  raised his children and grandchildren between Ridley Park and the Jersey Shore. (In the summer time)

I met George Cooper for the first time, in 2nd Grade at Anthony Wayne Public School, 28th and Morris Streets, in South Philadelphia. He was the…

A typically unusual storm with high wind and rain is destined to impact Ridley Park today and continue into Monday with local flooding, downed trees and power outages.



The effects of this classic Nor' Easter should begin to affect Ridley Park after 6:00 PM Sunday and only worsen. Rainfall amounts greater…

It hardly seems as if six months have passed since we were standing inside the blue curtained booth of an election machine, but so it goes in Pennsylvania where there's an election every six months.

This time around, the April 24 Primary Election is a "dry run" for the biggest change to hit…

I would just like to take this moment to thank the Mayor for reflecting on our lost brothers from the Philadelphia Fire Dept. at the Council Meeting.  A few of us traveled up to Engine 7 in Philly the night they passed.  We talked to the brave men of that station as well as met the Mayor of Philadelphia.  These men died protecting the City! So please keep them in your thoughts and prayers, as well as the brave men and women of the Ridley Park FC, who VOLUNTEER their time to serve and protect…

I didn't realize until today that Ken Harper was running for election.  Ken has been a great help to me.  I found myself in a situation with an unreasonable neighbor.  Ken so believed that I was right that he actually went to court with me.  I wrote a follow up letter to the borough letting them know how thankful I was for Ken's support, but I never received a response.  Also, during the last hurricane, Ken was on our street as soon as I called him.  While all the neighbors were busy making…

Delaware County’s largest employer, Crozer-Keystone Health System, announced it will eliminate up to 400 positions, as a result of various factors stemming from the current economic climate, system officials said Wednesday. "These trends have produced a decline in revenue," she said. "To address the issues created by the very difficult economic environment, we will need to reduce our expense structure."…

Hi everyone,

I am currently out of work. I have been an administrative assistant for over 10 years now and was wondering if anyone knew anyone or is there any where in Ridley Park that might be hiring for a 8-5 job. I welcome all job location help as I am trying to stay local.

Thank you.
