Be fair. Traffic is atrocious up there, especially the main side roads because they weren't built for the increased population that came with the housing developments.

That's why I live in Gibsonia, no lines, no traffic, and we are really diverse n'at.

I think my thread was asking for suggestions for preschools, summer camps and dance studios but that's for your two cents.

Jewart's is great, our neighbor's kids go there, they love it. And you can walk to any restaurant, may take a while, but what the heck.

Major construction/major improvement has been going on 2-3 mile stretch of route 19 for the past couple of years. This has caused a major bottleneck that has definitely caused some major driving headaches through this corridor. Over 18 million dollars are being invested in this improvement, including sidewalks and the addition of a turning lane-- a very aesthetic & functional construction dynamic.

Don't allow the naysayers dissuade you from the great decision that you made. Wexford is an absolutely awesome place to live. Congratulations!

I spent the afternoon in Gibsonia area today and found it has a lot to offer me: a new way to both Hartwood Acres and North Park, a beautiful winery, a stream not so far from my home in the city where I can rekindle my love for Trout fishing, and the Western PA Model Train Museum (which I have previously visited).

I think I was simply telling you to enjoy it.
