1. People: Lansdowne folks are friendly, helpful, and active participants in the community. Wherever you are, you can usually expect a friendly "Hi," even from passing strangers.
2. Food: Regency Cafe, Sycamore, Provisions, Doyle's Deli & Grille, Paul Revere Pizza, My Old Place Bakery, Travers Food Market, Mar-Win Shop n Bag...no matter what you're hungry for, there's something good to eat nearby.
3. Lansdowne Farmers Market: Twenty-six Saturdays filled with local and organic fruits and veggies, live music, and artists. It's a place to socialize, meet new friends, and shop. What could be better? It starts May 29, 2010, so mark your calendars!
4. Lansdowne Arts Festival: Three days of art and music at the Twentieth Century Club in Lansdowne. September 10, 11 and 12, 2010.
5. Lansdowne Arts and Crafts Show: Just days away – Saturday, May 1, from 9 am to 3 pm in the parking lot across from the theater (Google "30 North Lansdowne Avenue" for directions). Over 30 artists out in the fresh air – a great way to kick off Spring in Lansdowne!
6. Walking: A truly walkable community, Lansdowne boasts parks, shopping, dining and some fabulous residential neighborhoods within its one square mile, and is well served by public transit. Want to see the highlights? A walking map is right here. And if running is more your thing, join us for the Memorial Day 5k on May 31, 2010.
7. No Place For Hate: There is not a lot of drama in Lansdowne and we like it that way. We get along, like good neighbors should. No matter who you are, or what you are there is a community group for you, and all volunteers are welcomed.
8. Leadership: Jayne Young is the hardest working mayor in Delaware County! You couldn't ask for a better town cheerleader. She is surrounded by similarly hard-working elected officials, who use common sense when running our community. It's good local government in action.
9. Music: Whether is the Lansdowne Folk Club, the Lansdowne Symphony Orchestra, music at the Lansdowne Farmers Market and the Arts Festival, or the Lansdowne Summer Concert Series, there's something worth hearing. Most of Lansdowne's musical events are planned by the talented Bob Beach, a living, breathing Lansdowne treasure who even hosts concerts in his house!
10. Communication. We have our own email newsletter, Discover Lansdowne. Written with a healthy dash of wit by one of Lansdowne's finest volunteers, Grace Caputo, the newsletter is funny, sharp and quirky. It's an easy read and and an entertaining way to find out what's going on in town. Sign up for the newsletter here.

The Lansdowne Theater is great and there are movies playing every day at Cinema 16:9. Their movie theater is so cute! And the owner, Dave told me they're opening up a second theater upstairs too. I do Netflix, or I'd rent movies there. It was nice to talk with them about movies though so maybe we'll try renting some time.
