Change. So often, it’s unsettling, with apprehension and fear regularly accompanying it in the dance of life.
When seen from a different angle, however, change can also be powerful and exciting. Such is the case this time.
For 15 years, Main Line Today was produced out of the same building in Newtown Square. Now, the April issue comes to you from a brand-new office. With this latest change have come questions—questions about space (we now have less), questions about visibility (we now have more), and questions about what’s important, what we should keep, and what we should jettison.
An intoxicating aura of newness envelops the MLT space—new walls, new offices, new paint, new furniture, new carpeting. We’ve even reduced our carbon footprint with more energy-efficient heating, cooling and lighting systems.
Fittingly, for our annual Green Awards package (page 68), senior writer J.F. Pirro shares the stories of seven agents of change, including NBC10’s Tracy Davidson, whose “little” shredding event has taken on a life of its own. Pirro also profiles Chester County native Richie Jones (page 66), who is initiating real change as the director of the Delaware chapter of The Nature Conservancy.

Also in this issue, associate editor Melissa Jacobs offers in-depth coverage of the changing healthcare landscape in our latest Healthcare Guide, and contributing editor Tara Behan has the scoop on the area’s most expensive homes (talk about some serious change … pun intended).
And while we’re on the subject of change, we’ve hired a new assistant editor, Danielle Bouchat-Friedman, who brings to her job significant online experience as a former editor for hibu. Among other things, she’ll be working with digital editor Kelly Lyons on some new website initiatives. So keep an eye out for some fresh content on MainLineToday.com in the coming months.
As we speed toward our 20th anniversary, our commitment to remaining the area’s preeminent affluent-lifestyle magazine is one thing that hasn’t changed. Expect an announcement on how you can participate in our anniversary festivities. Until then, as the dust settles and we add the finishing touches to our new digs, we look forward to opening the doors to our many friends of the magazine. Feel free to pop in and say hello during our office-warming celebration on April 20.
