Manayunk's Mainstay


After coming back from my holiday coma, I rememberd all the things still needed to be faced...and went back to sleep. Thankfully, some good news came to my desk this morning.

A.I. Poland Jewelers, 4347 Main St. would like to announce that it has made Comcast's Best of City. A 5 minute video on Poland Jewelers can be found on Comcast's digital On Demand menu. The piece can be located by going onto the On Demand menu and clicking on Get Local. Click on Best of the City, and then on Style and Shopping. Look for PHL a.i.polndjwlrs and view. The program is in advance of the store celebrating its 110th year in Manayunk, run by the Poland family. Throughout all of the economic times of the last century, Poland Jewelers has served the neighborhood and is still going strong today.


Poland's has always been the place to go in Manayunk. These guys even outlived the Great Depression and later on during Manayunk's Dark Times when tumbleweeds blew through Main St. and Pitcher's Pub was a rough and tumble bar. (At least, that's how it seemed when I was a child.)
Sadly, we do not have Comcast so someone let us know how this little piece is.
