Created to cater to busy families, Made with Love Café and Playhouse, at 617 N Bethlehem Pike in Spring House, offers toys and games for babies, toddlers, and even tweens, as well as free wifi, coffee and pastries for parents.

Emergency responders were tested in Upper Dublin last night, and it appears they passed with flying colors.
Friday evening was strange one for Upper Dublin township, as a heavy rainstorm that hit the area around 6:30 p.m. flooded the township and left many in need of emergency assistance. Abington Patch editor Mischa Arnosky was one of those individuals, as his car became stuck in a flash flood on Commerce Drive near West German BMW. Arnosky states that within minutes, the water level had reached his car's hood. Luckily he was able to escape unharmed, and take footage of the roadway. There were no reported injuries around the township, despite a heavy volume of emergency calls. "The Fire Company was dispatched for numerous water rescue calls for people stuck in rising waters in their vehicles," said Fort Washington Fire Company Chief Eric …
