Wow, that brings back memories. I grew up there. As a teenager, I'd
walk to Gentile's and carry home a backpack full of produce. I can't
remember when that location opened. There was another one before
that--probably in Broomall/Lawrence Park.

When I was really young, there used to be a place in Broomall that we
referred to as "The Farm." I have no idea what it was actually
called. It was on Paxon Hollow Road, just off of Sproul. That's
where we used to get corn and tomatoes in the summer, long before that
area got developed. There were fields right there near the farm
stand. I've been driving up through that area a fair bit lately, and
I'm getting all nostalgic about how it used to be ;-)
