In the middle

It's impossible to miss the giant "Concord Township" sign being built in the middle of Concord Pike, just where the northbound and southbound lanes split. The bottom half resembles an old-fashioned stone bridge, with two arches. In contrast, the top half boasts the township name and a massive, bright video screen showing a rotation of ads. When I passed it on April 2, men were still working on scaffolding on the sign's sides, but the video screen was up and running.
Speaking of the Concord Township area, the former Outback Steakhouse in the Glen Eagle Shopping Center has moved two miles away to the newish shopping center at Route 1 and 322. The old space is being renovated for a restaurant called "Not Your Average Joe's," according to the liquor license application posted on the front window. I checked out the website of this New England-based chain and they say they offer "creative casual cuisine."
And in the Painter's Crossing Shopping Center, the movie theaters are being renovated to accommodate food service and are expected to reopen this summer for your dining and movie-going pleasure.
