In March 1850, the Borough of Media was officially incorporated by a Special Act of Assembly. This collection is a portrait of the borough as it exists in 2025. To that end, we’re collecting photographs of every building in the borough.
Architecture is interesting, it's part of what makes Media such a distinctive place. Photos that show family members, business owners, organization staffs, volunteers and members, clergy and congregations are also included to provide a fuller portrait of Media in 2025.
When we moved here in 2017, the yard was nearly devoid of life, the bathrooms were circa 1940 and the kitchen was small.
We have since planted 5 native trees, two dozen native shrubs and about a hundred native perennials, moved the side walk and added paths across the front.
We have also remodeled both bathrooms, converted the garage to a kitchen, laundry room and 1/2 bath.
Ariano Restaurant began construction in 2006 and proudly opened its doors in November 2010. Since day one, we’ve strived to remain a family-run restaurant rooted in the heart of Media, PA. Inspired by our deep Italian heritage and grateful for the opportunities America has provided our family, we continue to share our traditions, flavors, and passion with the community we love.
