Talk:Wynnewood, Pennsylvania

What is Wynnewood?
As far as I can tell it is a subdivision. Check out its Google Map. If I were sure of what it was I would categorize it. --DCrazy talk/contrib 19:29, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

Wynnewood is a town
Wynnewood is much more than a subdivision; it is a town, part of Lower Merion Township. It is one of the towns along the "Main Line" near Phila; among the other towns are Narberth (a borough), Ardmore, Haverford, Bryn Mawr, Villanova, Radnor, Paoli, Berwyn, Malvern. The R5 train line is what gave the area the name "Main Line"; it is called the R5 train line now, but it used to be called just the "main line" of the RR.

 * If you go onto old Manoa Road, near Howards, (on Old Manoa between Haverford Rd & Rock Glen Rd.), you will see a sign indicating that Wynnewood is a village. Zenosparadox 01:20, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

No You really have the wrong idea; you are off the mark completly. Wynnewood is absolutely not a subdivision. In fact, there is no tract housing and no development feel on the Mainline. Wynnewood is very old town; it is very very common to see houses 80, 100, 150 years old. Wynnewood has churches and schools with in its borders. It is not simply an artificail subdivision created by a developer.

Only a zip code
Wynnewood is a little less than a town yet a little more than a subdivison. It is a zipcode.

In the last 15 years the Wynnewood zipcode was enlarged to include an adjacent community called Penn Wynne which was previously included in a Philadelphia zipcode. Penn Wynne residents campaigned to have their zipcode changed to a suburban zipcode to distinguish themselves from Philadelphia which has much higer auto insurance rates.

Tornadoes?
Have there been any tornadoes in Wynnewood, Pennsylvania? Could you please answer this? A tornado watch has been spotted today. I know other days when there were tornado watches.

Yes, there have been tornadoes in Wynnewood, Pennsylvania. They are extremely rare and usually 'minor' (F-1). Tornadoes in Wynnewood? NO. This isn't Kansas. I grew up in this area (20 years) & although there are very rare Tornado "Watches" there has never been an actual tornado that caused damage. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.98.35.171 (talk) 12:41, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

There was a tornado in Narberth, PA a couple of years ago that did minor damage around the baseball field. That area is no more than 100 yards from the border with Wynnewood. 67.100.21.170 (talk) 21:56, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Haverford Township
I think it should be mentioned that Lower Merion Township isn't the only township in Wynnewood. Near the community of Penn Wynne, there is a neighborhood which is in Wynnewood but is also part of Haverford Township. This means that some of the children of Wynnewood attend public schools that are part of the Haverford School District.
