Talk:Borough of Ambler

message: A question was raised on the Help Desk about the reference to the Ambler Campus of Temple University.  The campus is outside the borough limits and is actually in Upper Dublin Township.  So the question is how to handle this fact.  I will start by inserting a note to that effect but we can discuss other approaches.  Robert McClenon (talk) 00:30, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

message: Hi folks,
thanks to all of you who maintain this site.  it's very useful.
"Ambler is a borough in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, in the United States, approximately 16 miles (26 km) north of Philadelphia."
'''
I grew up in ambler.  And it's definitely less than 16 miles north of philly.
i went on mapquest and found a spot in philly that is 5.29 miles driving distance.  That's not even 5.29 miles as the crow flies.  
"approximately five and a half miles north of Philadelphia" would be much more accurate.
best regards,
Jim

replies: text: * I've corrected the first line; if you calculate from center city, e.g. City Hall at 1 Penn Square, and go up 309, it is in fact reasonably accurate to say "It is located approximately 16 miles (26 km) north of the city center of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania."

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: In the section describing the formation and establishment of the Village of Wissahickon — today's Ambler Borough — the references and links take you to the Wikipedia article on the Philadelphia neighborhood of that name.
The information there has nothing to do with the Village of Wissahickon in Montgomery County and the links should be removed. I also don't think Ambler is anywhere near Wissahickon Creek, either. Marketstel (talk) 15:42, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
