The Swell Bubble Gum Factory could become the next site of a YMCA! While talks are in the preliminary stages, Haverford Township, through eminent domain, has been working on acquiring the existing property and setting up a long term lease with the YMCA.

I personally think it could be a great addition to the area. I've heard awesome things about the new YMCAs in the region, from great programming for families to reasonable membership costs. Also, as I'd love to have access to a local indoor swimming facility, this could be a great centrally located option. We'll see.
