Business Spotlight
Primex Garden Center

One of the most notable features of Primex is its year-round tropical greenhouse. The greenhouse has a wide selection of houseplants, annuals, and perennials that make any plant lover fall head over heels. I visit the greenhouse at least once a month and always walk out with a plant in hand!

Don't have the greenest thumb? Don't worry!

The first time I visited Primex, I did not know about plant care.   

Which is the best beginner plant?
What soil is the best choice? How much sun is needed? etc.
At Primex, even if you aren't a seasoned gardener, the employees are sure to point you in the right direction and will offer any knowledge they have. I even got a little sheet of facts about how to care for my plant! Fair warning- once you have one houseplant, you will never stop growing your collection!

In all, Primex is the perfect stop for anyone at any experience level, and Spring is the perfect time to begin your new hobby.

Happy gardening!

Madeline Lynch

Madeline Lynch is a third-year Arcadia student who recently returned from Spain! As she was gathering her things, excited to come back to campus, she planned her first stop when she stepped back into the town of Glenside. When she got back to town, her first meal was going to be from Jasmine's Asian Bistro!

Before COVID, this was a great place to bring your friends, order all the food you could eat, and have a great night out. Now, Jasmine's offers the same experience in the comfort of your own home. 

It is located at 138 S. Easton Road Glenside, PA 19038 (Easton Road, between W. Waverly Rd and W. Glenside Ave.) The restaurant is located approximately one block away from the Glenside Regional Rail Station. Jasmine's food is unlike any other in the area!

Madeline said she is "excited to order her favorite meal, Sweet and Sour Chicken!" Madeline is my old roommate; I can contest that there were many nights we treated ourselves to Jasmine's and created many unforgettable memories in our apartment.

Whether you're looking for some take-out ideas for nights where you don't feel like cooking or a caterer for your party, Jasmine's is the place to go!

A Day In the Life

Downtown Glenside is a great local spot for all of my dining and shopping needs. When I need to pick up a gift for someone, I’ll swing by Sweet Magnolia and The Nest. Not only do I come away with the perfect unique gift, I often find something for myself as well. Through the years I’ve also made great use of running local errands within walking distance of my home with the convenience of stores such as Lewis Paint and Wesley Pharmacy. It’s been great finding products that I need without ever traveling further than a quick walk in the neighborhood. You get those personal touches and conversations that just don’t come with a trip to the big box stores. 
 

When it comes to Glenside restaurants, I make good use of them all. Rocky’s is a family favorite for delicious takeout, where we are known on a first-name basis. Nowhere else have I ever experienced such personal customer service. Next is Elcy’s, with its cozy setting to start my day with friends over a cup of coffee. The backdrop of the train station makes it stand out. Date night dinners at Trevi and Jasmine’s always bring a meal that never disappoints. And a night on the town is never complete without a nightcap at the Glenside Pub, where you are bound to run into some familiar faces that give you the feel of this being your local watering hole. A night with live music is even better!

Downtown Glenside is also a very festive destination for holiday festivities, a car show, or a food truck event. These local events really highlight what our great Glenside community is all about! Next on my list, I’m looking forward to checking out Moody Jones Gallery, Franklin’s Pub, and Pinto Nacho spot!
