Today, Sunday, (either Sept. 31 or Oct. 1st) 2017, I was out driving around before walking my dog, Trixie and I decided to take a detour through Merchantville, NJ. I went to high school thee in the 1960's, graduating class of 1963 and I love that town.
While there, I stopped to photograph a few buildings, Aunt Charlotte's Candy shop, and the Merchantville Train Station. The train station has been converted into the most charming coffee shop with indoor and outdoor seating, and upstairs gallery and a bunch of other cool offerings including classes in Art, Music and Yoga, and concerts and poetry readings. I bought a delicious coffee cake bar, a cup of coffee and went on about my day.
The Merchantville Station: 10 East Chestnut Avenue, Merchantville, NJ Mon.-Fri. 7:30a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Sunday 9 to 5 856-488-0973 www.merchantvillestation.com
Among their many offerings, they do catering, and they sell coffee by the bag, and baked goods!
Yo can also enjoy a breakfast, brunch or lunch there with things such as crepes and chili - Check it Out!
They are also on Facebook and for art or music lessons check eilandarts.center
As is so often the case, this small world provided yet another connection. Diane Paul, of Main Street Art in Maple Shade, NJ has work on display at the Merchantville Station so I called her on the phone and she told me about an upcoming music even on Main Street in Maple Shade:
October 15 from 2pm to 6 pm. JAM on Main Street! Sounds like a lot of fun. Also, there are still openings in the fall line-up of classes at Main Street Art so if you are looking fora way to get the creative juices flowing, call Main Street Art and sign up for a class!
