As you know if you have read my blog, I am a big fan of railroad stations. They speak to me of romance, mystery, adventure, the lonely cry of the locomotive in the night! And I am overjoyed when a train station is saved and put to a purpose for the community as is the case with Eiland Arts Center, located in the train station at Merchantville, just off Center Street.
At an given time you can find at Eiland Arts Center: music and art classes, concerts, workshops, parties, and art shows among other things. Recently a writing component has been added to their wide programming, The Alexandria Quarterly, with a just published chap book called What the Piper Promised, by Katherine Hawd Machon.
