On its way: Roberts Block in Glenside

It's due to open in February under the auspices of Jose Vargas, a chef-restaurateur who also has Leila's and Forcella in Jenkintown. He also is close to opening a third Jenkintown restaurant: Flora, a vegetable-driven BYOB.

If you take Regional Rail through Glenside, take a gander to the east (outbound) side of the tracks next time as the train pulls in.

You'll see a building undergoing a full-scale rehab.

The name at the roof line says Roberts Block, and that will be the name of the restaurant contained within.
