[edit] What is Wynnewood?
As far as I can tell it is a subdivision. Check out its Google Map. If I were sure of what it was I would categorize it. --DCrazy talk/contrib 19:29, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Wynnewood is a town
Wynnewood is much more than a subdivision; it is a town, part of Lower Merion Township. It is one of the towns along the "Main Line" near Phila; among the other towns are Narberth (a borough), Ardmore, Haverford, Bryn Mawr, Villanova, Radnor, Paoli, Berwyn, Malvern. The R5 train line is what gave the area the name "Main Line"; it is called the R5 train line now, but it used to be called just the "main line" of the RR.

- If you go onto old Manoa Road, near Howards, (on Old Manoa between Haverford Rd & Rock Glen Rd.), you will see a sign indicating that Wynnewood is a village. Zenosparadox 01:20, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

No You really have the wrong idea; you are off the mark completly. Wynnewood is absolutely not a subdivision. In fact, there is no tract housing and no development feel on the Mainline. Wynnewood is very old town; it is very very common to see houses 80, 100, 150 years old. Wynnewood has churches and schools with in its borders. It is not simply an artificail subdivision created by a developer.
[edit] Only a zip code
Wynnewood is a little less than a town yet a little more than a subdivison. It is a zipcode.
In the last 15 years the Wynnewood zipcode was enlarged to include an adjacent community called Penn Wynne which was previously included in a Philadelphia zipcode. Penn Wynne residents campaigned to have their zipcode changed to a suburban zipcode to distinguish themselves from Philadelphia which has much higer auto insurance rates.

[edit] Tornadoes?
Have there been any tornadoes in Wynnewood, Pennsylvania? Could you please answer this? A tornado watch has been spotted today. I know other days when there were tornado watches.

Yes, there have been tornadoes in Wynnewood, Pennsylvania. They are extremely rare and usually 'minor' (F-1). Tornadoes in Wynnewood? NO. This isn't Kansas. I grew up in this area (20 years) & although there are very rare Tornado "Watches" there has never been an actual tornado that caused damage. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.98.35.171 (talk) 12:41, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
