  • “The Delaware Arden should be mythical because it sounds like a place that’s too good to be true. It has an odd but equitable tax scheme, community spirit out of a Jimmy Stewart movie, and a lot of artists. This isn’t surprising, because Arden was founded 100 years ago by a sculptor and an architect who were trying to invent a more perfect form of society. They didn’t quite succeed, but their legacy is an enclave that even today is home to more than an average complement of creative people – artists, artisans, writers and aesthetes of every stripe.”Philadelphia Inquirer 08/13/00
