More About Penndel

[edit]

Hey. Long time reader, some times minor grammar editor, and was hoping one of the more seasoned editors might take a look at some of this stuff. I drive and stop through Penndel quite a bit. I just wanted to mention that Penndel has the character of a small town, some historical buildings, including the old Convent building that is now the Meeting Center for OLG Church, as well as a Catholic School, and Holy Redeemer Lutheran Church is an old looking stone church, across from Our Lady of Grace Catholic School. I guess I just lack the confidence in my own encyclopedia writing skills.96.227.122.164 (talk) 05:18, 21 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
