Glenside nostalgia: 1988 promotional video & 1930s pamphlet featuring ’22 reasons why you should live in beautiful Glenside’

A 1930s pamphlet advertising Glenside was posted in the Facebook group You know you grew up in Abington, PA if you remember…

Comments hold that the pamphlet was used between 1932-1941 as a promotional piece for Roberts Tract located next to the Glenside train station, the former site of a realtor office and the current site of Roberts Block Restaurant.


The Facebook group also offers a video of Glenside’s Centennial celebration in 1988 featuring O’Neill’s Food Market, Abington Federal Savings, Hibberts, Rau Animal Hospital, and West Coast Video.


If you’d like to publish throwback images or videos from the greater Glenside, Cheltenham, Abington, Jenkintown, or Huntingdon Valley areas, you can reach out to ryan@burbmedia.com.
