Villanova's campus-changing Lancaster Ave. project is underway

Happy Thursday, 'Nova Nation! Construction is booming over on the Main Line, where not only is the Lancaster Ave. project underway, but the West Endzone Project is nearing completion. Speaking of the latter, there's a live cam on the construction. It's looking beautiful.

Side benefit - imagining the anger the bad people of Radnor must experience daily driving past it.

A few events to watch this weekend - the UAA Finals (Atlanta), Summer Takeover Invitational (Md.), Victor Oladipo Skills Academy (Md.) and the Hoop Group Summer Jam Fest (Pa.).

And now, the "news."
