ISSUE #43 is brought to you by The Main Line Guide
👋 Happy Friday Lower Merion! Hope your week’s been treating you well! I don’t know about you, but coming off last week’s travel fun made this one feel extra long. Luckily, the weekend is here—and it’s packed with great local events worth checking out. I’ve got my eye on LM’s production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream—planning to catch it with the fam. Maybe I’ll see you there?
Have a great weekend!
