Here's what Curbed says about Wayne:

By popular demand, we've added the gorgeous little town of Wayne to this list. At the time of the last census (2010) it was around 32,000 people large, and it's just a quick, 30 minute train ride down the Main Line. Go check out the stunning Chanticleer gardens, or—if you're an architecture-lover—head into the Reel Cinemas Anthony Wayne Theater, a stunning example of the 1920s art deco movie theaters that are so popular around Philly. If you're hungry, head over to Minella's Diner, a favorite among college students in the area for its all night breakfast food. If you're just eager to walk, you're in luck. The gorgeous, stone homes around Wayne are truly a gift to see as you wander around the neighborhood.

Fun fact: This small town on the Main Line featured the first suburban location of the Strawbridge and Clothier department store. Today, Ardmore features big box stores plus smaller, eclectic shops along the town's main street of Lancaster Avenue. It's also home to Tired Hands Brewing Company and the independently-owned Ardmore Music Hall, which has featured big acts like the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
