This house on Glen Mills is a couple of years old, and it really is one hell of a nice place. It sits on a ridge on glen Mills Road and overlooks the MD border and Patsy DuPont's property. Notice the three-story tower, which must have wonderful views of the rising and setting sun. Very nice.
Since Nov, 13, 2008, the Hickory Hill bridge has been closed. Notice the two signs and the two piles of gravel blocking vehicle access. Guess it's still OK for foot and bicycle traffic. Wonder what the improvement plan is since the bridge has felt--while driving across it--as solid and not in need of repairs. I've always thought that the township has missed a great opportunity with its covered bridges and winding roads to create a roadmap online so that day visitors could visit the bridges and perhaps buy lunch at, for instance, the pizza place Matteo's Pizza at the intersection of Hickory Hill and 472. There are maps, for instance, of winery tours in PA and MD, but none that combine the two states' winery tours--which a "covered bridge tour" could connect and exploit. Well here's hoping this bridge is back in service and looking better sooner than later. It's not really on any of my routes so I hardly ever go over it, but when I do, it's one of those elements of the country that is a real positive.
