The best pizza in LM went to Ricardo's in this week's Readers' Choice poll.
We asked who had the best pizza in Lower Moreland, and Ricardo's Mediterranean Restaurant ran away with just under half of the total votes in the poll. This BYOB restaurant in Fetters Mill Square offers up 19 styles of brick over pizzas with the following toppings: pepperoni, onions, black olives, sausage, broccoli, extra cheese, ham, tomato green or red peppers, anchovies, mushrooms, bacon, pineapple, spinach, roasted peppers, steak, avocado, chicken, sun dried tomatoes, prosciutto, chouriço. Ricardo's also won our Readers' Choice poll for the best Italian Restaurant. With the weather getting nicer it's a perfect place to enjoy a nice meal outside on the back deck as well. Franconi's edged out Illiano's by one vote for second place.

The Board of Commissioners recently approved the applicant's withdraw request. Read the rest of tonight's agenda for the 7:30 p.m. meeting.
Back in March, Liborio-Louvers, LCC sent a request to Lower Moreland Township for a zoning amendment change that would eventually allow the construction of 33 condominiums in five buildings on Lieberman Drive. In April the developer asked for a 30-day extension to submit its updated sketch plan. And now, the developer has put an end to the project altogether by withdrawing its application. In order for this project to have passed, a public meeting needed to be granted to change the zoning from “I” Industrial to allow residential development on the land behind the US Post Office adjacent to Huntingdon Self Storage. With no more sketch plan, there is no meeting required to change the township's zoning codes. As for the rest of the news …

On a rainy day, local residents picked Willow Grove Park to spend the day.
This week we asked what you thought was the best destination for a rainy day. When the kids are out of school and it's not a great time for any outdoor activities, you need someplace to go to occupy your time. The choices were things like bowling, mini golf, or local shopping, but the Willow Grove Mall ended up being the winner with just over 40-percent of the vote. It hosts over 130 specialty shops including Abercrombie, Coach, Banana Republic, Build-A-Bear-Workshop and Williams-Sonoma. It also has major department stores include Bloomingdale’s, Sears and Macy’s. Dining is also a prevalent feature of the mall, which has food courts and notable restaurants, such as The Cheesecake Factory and T.G.I. Fridays. Brunswick Zone, the Bryn Athyn …

This week we asked where the best spot for a Mother's Day brunch is.
The big day is quickly approaching and we asked our Patch readers where they thought the best place to celebrate Mother's Day was. Residents had the chance to vote all week in the poll, and in the end Piero's Italian Restaurant was the winning choice. The BYOB place nestled on Reading Way features an Italian menu with home-made bread, pasta, sauces, soups and desserts. If you plan on bringing the children along, there's a kids' menu as well. Maggio's in Southampton came in second place while Kenny's, Ben & Irv's and Tiffany Diner tied for third place. Thanks for your participation.
All three schools at LMTSD recently had solar panels installed on the roof tops.
The solar panel project is complete at the Lower Moreland School District. All three schools - the High School, Murray Avenue and Pine Road - have installed solar photo-voltaic panels on each of its rooftops. The project was supposed to be completed by November, but because of a hard substance (which was later found to be glue) found on the high school roof, construction was pushed back. The solar panels that were installed generate a combined quantity of 575 kilowatts of electricity, which is about one-third of the High School’s electrical demand. The panels will eliminate 4,674 tons of CO2 emissions, or the equivalent of saving 1,402 acres of trees or not driving 12,800,000 vehicle miles. You can see live energy updates from the High …
