Chestnut Hill is a living experiment in sustainability, a place that has greatly changed while keeping its distinctive character as an historic urban village with a vibrant main street, Germantown Avenue. In his talk, Miles Orvell will define the character of Chestnut Hill as a place somewhere between the ordinary and the extraordinary.
A resident of Chestnut Hill for more than thirty years, Miles Orvell teaches American studies at Temple University, and has written several books about American culture including The Death and Life of Main Street.
