Hurricane Sandy mostly spared the usually hard-hit neighborhood.
After a weekend of worry, Main Street Manayunk breathed a sigh of relief and mostly got back to business Tuesday. Power returned to all of Main Street after an overnight outage, the Manayunk Development Corporation said. Hurricane Sandy—the "catastrophic" storm that caused Mayor Michael Nutter to ask residents to evacuate Manayunk Sunday—brought wind and rain Monday and Tuesday to Main Street. However, the Schuylkill River stayed at a reasonable level and Manayunk never flooded. Parts of Main Street—from Green Lane to Cotton Street—kept power throughout the storm. From Monday evening through mid-day Tuesday, Manayunk was dark through Shurs Lane. Throughout the afternoon, electricity returned to Main Street. "Hurricane Sandy has passed and …

Meredith Podob settles into Latitudes and Longitudes on Main Street.
Meredith Podob has an extensive background. But the industrial engineer, graphic designer and new business owner also boasts nearly a decade of retail experience on Main Street. Before Podob opened Latitudes and Longitudes at 4325 Main St., she worked off-and-on while in college at Philadelphia University and after for long-time merchant Joan Castronuovo, owner of Latitudes Fine Craft Gifts. When the opportunity came, Podob—long wanting to own her own business—decided to continue Castronuovo's gift shop. Her love for independent shop owners began as a child growing up in Southampton, Bucks County. Her grandfathers separately ran tailor and butcher shops, and her parents own Metlab, a heat-treating company in Glenside. "I've always looked …

Watch the first two installments before the newest Batman opens at midnight.
In celebration of Christopher Nolan's final Batman installment, Manayunk's movie theater gives movie goers more than enough Dark Knight options.

Main Street debuts new salon at 4237 Main St.
Betting on a new business is always a risk. But Night Chhour has good luck on her side. Chhour owns the recently opened Autumn Nails and Spa, which was named in the hopes that an omen comes true. "It's traditional for Asian people to have their mother or an elder chose their business's name. Autumn is my niece's name, and she was born in the Year of the Dragon, which is considered the best year," she said, adding it's symbolic for good luck, strength. Autumn Nails and Spa debuted at 4237 Main St. in Manayunk in late June—deep in the heart of summer. Chhour, from Olney, has worked at a variety of nail salons, most recently in Berlin, NJ. Aside from the lessened commute, owning a small business fulfills her dream of serving as her own boss. …

Essentially, organizers spread the word for people to patronize a specific local business(es) through social media. "Cash Mob Philly is about showing that local businesses have good deals, too, and the ripple effect from buying at a local business, who also supports the local economy, is huge. It's something I believe in," organizer Shahrzad "Shaz" Kojouri told Patch when the Cash Mob first graced Main Street. In March, Kojouri organized an event at Main Street Music and the U.S. Hotel.
