ART CONTINUES TO THRIVE IN MEDIA

Life Is Better When It’s Local

As a longtime Media resident, I’m proud to say I rarely have to travel far to find just about everything I need. Right here in our walkable borough, we’re surrounded by independent shops, passionate business owners, rich history, and neighbors who truly care. Media isn’t just where we live, it’s what makes life feel full.

Each February, Media City Lifestyle dedicates an issue to “Love Local.” It’s our way of celebrating the people, places, and hidden gems that make Media such an extraordinary place to call home.

This month, we uncover the charming network of “Little Free Libraries” tucked along neighborhood streets: tiny, mailbox-sized book exchanges lovingly curated by residents and shared with the community. They’re a perfect reflection of Media’s generous spirit.

We also shine a light on a true hidden treasure just outside the borough, an antique mall many of us have passed countless times without stopping. Step inside, and you’ll discover an afternoon filled with unexpected delights and one-of-a-kind finds.

History comes alive as we explore the former home of Dr. Philip Jaisohn, a Korean-born American citizen who lived in our area and made a lasting impact on both the United States and Korea - an important story with deep local roots.

On State Street, we catch up with Dr. Eric Zhou and Dr. Cohen of Media Eye Care to talk about the importance of eye health and, of course, where to find eyewear that looks as good as it feels.

For more than 20 years, the Media Arts Council (MAC) has enriched our community through the arts, including its signature annual Film Festival. Their dedication continues to inspire creativity throughout the borough.

We also take a moment to remind readers that as America approaches its 250th birthday, Media is ready to celebrate, not just by honoring history, but by continuing to make it. One exciting kickoff example can be found right here at Rose Tree Park Read more on page 32.

And, of course, no issue would be complete without a signature drink recipe to enjoy while flipping through these pages.

We are grateful to be part of a community filled with heart. Together, let’s continue to support and celebrate the local treasures that make Media truly one of a kind.

We’ll see you on State Street.

The Philip Jaisohn Memorial House

The Philip Jaisohn Memorial House at 100 East Lincoln Street is a local gem of world history. Once Dr. Jaisohn’s home, the museum preserves the life and legacy of one of the most important figures of modern Korean history. The full scope of Dr. Jaisohn’s work, spanning medicine, journalism, civic reform, and international advocacy, comes into focus inside the house itself.

For Koreans around the world, Dr. Philip Jaisohn (born Soh Jai-pil) is a national hero and a founding figure of Korea’s democratic movement. In the 25 years he lived in Media, he was a deeply beloved, recognized, and respected neighbor who walked the same streets we do today. His life and contributions were well documented in local publications, and was shaped by a life defined by far-reaching influence and profound transformation.

Born in 1864 in Chosun, now Korea, Soh Jai-pil belonged to a generation of young intellectuals who were reformers determined to rapidly modernize Chosun amid mounting foreign pressure. His involvement in an early reform movement forced him into exile, which eventually brought him to the United States as a political refugee.

In America, he rebuilt his life through education and medicine. Under his chosen name Philip Jaisohn, he became the first Korean to be naturalized as a U.S. citizen in 1890 and the first Korean to earn an American medical degree in 1892. He later married Muriel Armstrong, daughter of the U.S. Postmaster General, in what is considered the first documented interracial marriage between a Korean and an American. As an American, he was also a medical officer in U.S. wars.

Political conditions allowed him to return, and the Chosun government urged him to accept a ministerial position. He declined, insisting that his purpose was to empower the people, not to enter politics himself. The reform movement he sparked ignited Korea’s struggle for independence throughout the 20th century.

Dr. Jaisohn is revered for achievements including founding Korea’s first modern newspaper, advocating for democratic ideals, serving as a key voice for Korean

“Neither follow the government blindly nor forget that the government is the servant of the people.

That is my lifelong desire.” — Philip Jaisohn (Soh, Jai-pil), message to the Korean

independence during decades of Japanese colonial rule, organizing the first Korean Congress in Philadelphia to advocate for Korea’s right for self-determination, establishing the Korean Information Bureau and the League of Friends of Korea, and countless other enduring contributions. He encouraged ordinary citizens to envision and demand a democratic and equal future through education and debate.

While his advocacy continued throughout his life, Dr. Jaisohn and his family settled down in Media. In 1927, he, his wife, and daughters moved into a red-brick Federalist-style home on East Lincoln Street. He lived in this house until his death in 1951. It was here that he continued writing, mentoring younger generations, and practicing medicine. In addition to his medical practice in nearby Chester, he treated patients from an office located behind the old post office at 114 West State Street in downtown Media. He was also an active member of the Media Rotary Club. He participated fully in civic life as both a physician and a community member.

After Korea’s liberation in 1945, he returned once more as a senior adviser to help guide the nation’s rebuilding efforts.

By the end of his life, Dr. Jaisohn had served both Korea and the United States. He earned commendations from Presidents Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry Truman. When his ashes were returned to Korea in 1994, tens of thousands gathered to

welcome him home. Across Korea today, monuments, museums, and institutions honor his legacy.

Here in Media, his legacy was commemorated posthumously on Jaison Street, a two-block stretch between East 2nd and East 3rd Streets. It stands as a reminder of his lasting impact on the community, as much as he himself was an integral part of Media.

Above all, Dr. Jaisohn’s biggest legacy is his principles. He believed in principles such as peace, equality, ability/ education, common sense, and ethical behavior, because he believed that these are the foundation to a strong, independent, democratic people.

This article only begins to outline Dr. Jaisohn’s extraordinary life. Much of his story is best discovered in person at the Philip Jaisohn House, where photographs, documents, footage, and personal artifacts offer a much deeper insight into both his international influence and his life in Media. The house offers guided tours, three floors of exhibits, and is open and free by appointment.

To schedule a visit, email info@jaisohn.org or call 610-627-9768.

BUILDING COMMUNITY. INSPIRING READERS. EXPANDING BOOK ACCESS.

MINI LIBRARIES: BOOK BOXES ADVENTURE

The Little Free Library movement began in 2009 with a single handmade box in Wisconsin. Today, more than 200,000 book-sharing boxes exist worldwide, including 14 boxes right here in Media. These small libraries are part of a nonprofit mission to expand book access and strengthen communities. Media residents have embraced the idea for nearly a decade. The stewards have created libraries that reflect personal stories or selected themes. Each library invites anyone to borrow or contribute books at any time. There are no memberships or time limits, and there is only an open invitation to share. It inspires curiosity and generosity among neighbors, and new readers discover stories they may never have otherwise found. Media’s first steward is Anne Rigby, whose Fourth Street Little Free Library helped inspire the network here.

THE 4TH ST. LIBRARY’S STEWARD

“I’m an avid reader, and I’ve always loved the idea of sharing books with other people. When I saw my first Little Free Library years ago, I thought, ‘Wow. This is something special.’

Since 2017, it’s been lovely filling it with books I’ve read, donated books, and books I seek out because I know my neighbors will enjoy them. I’ll see something and think, ‘Oh, you like historical fiction; you’d love this.’ Because I read so much, I can make recommendations like that. I guess I’m a true librarian!

I live right in the middle of town, and the library has been a nice connection to the younger families. The kids’ books go gangbusters. Families walking by with strollers will stop and grab something for their kids. And I grow tomatoes and peppers in my front garden in the summer, so it doubles as a little free pantry.

My brother Bill built the library for me. He’s a woodworker, and he made it incredibly sturdy. It’s lasted beautifully, and I’m really proud of it.” – Anne Rigby

Hidden Treasures in Delco

An eclectic antique mall shaped by friendship and a love of old things.

Hidden Treasures Antique Mall gives the locals so many reasons to love local. It is a self-proclaimed “quite possibly the coolest shop ever” and it rightfully lives up to its claim. It is a layered shopping experience filled with antiques, vintage finds, furniture, jewelry, records, artwork, curated décor spanning from farmhouse to Victorian, and eclectic gifts that feel genuinely one-of-a-kind.

Co-owner Janis says she hears customers’ immediate and emotional reactions almost daily, who say “Oh my gosh, do you remember that? Grandmom had that. Grandpop had that.” “It’s like a déjà vu thing,” she adds. “And my favorite part now is seeing younger people come in. They’re buying old, like records, jewelry, and pocketbooks.”

Hidden Treasures is currently home to nine vendors, with each person curating a distinct style. “What makes us different is that we all have different tastes,” co-owner Missy says. “You don’t walk into one room and then another and see the same things

repeated.” And the shop’s layout encourages lingering, so visitors can slow down and take it all in.

Missy and Janis regularly travel to the famous Brimfield Antique Flea Market in Massachusetts, which is one of the largest antique events in the country. They also source through house cleanouts and regional trips to keep the store always refreshed.

For both of them, running Hidden Treasures is a continuation of a lifelong connection to Media. “We’ve been friends for a long time. We’ve been antiquing together since high school,” Missy explains. Missy and Janis’s long history of antiquing together shows, as the pieces feel intentionally selected. They became partners in business almost 20 years ago and grew from a single room shop into a full antique mall, now nearing its 10-year anniversary in its current space. “I just love this place,” Janis says. And so do the shoppers, who return again and again to see what new treasures have arrived.

I love seeing how old things can become new again. - Missy

Clear Vision: Style Meets Clarity

Useful Fashion for your Eyes

ARTICLE BY DR. ERIC B. ZHOU, O.D. PHOTOGRAPHY BY KARIN DAVIDSON, COURTESY MEDIA EYE CENTER

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO CHECK SOMEONE’S EYESIGHT, AND HOW OFTEN?

Checking someone’s eyesight is about much more than just seeing clearly. Vision changes can happen gradually, and many serious eye conditions - like glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic eye disease, or even signs of systemic health issues - often don’t have noticeable symptoms early on. Regular eye exams allow us to catch problems early, when treatment is most effective.

For most adults, a comprehensive eye exam every one to two years is optimum, depending on age, medical history, and vision needs. Contact lens wearers should have an eye exam every year to ensure their eyes remain healthy and safe for continued contact lens wear. Children, seniors, and patients with conditions like diabetes or high prescriptions may need to be seen more frequently. Preventive care is key to protecting vision long-term.

Early detection matters:

• Some conditions damage the optic nerve slowly and permanently

• Many diseases don’t show obvious signs until they are advanced. Catch it early

• Exams can reveal systemic diseases like diabetes or hypertension even before other symptoms

• Early treatment offers quicker recovery

• Some issues can cause prevent blindness

WHAT MAKES MEDIA EYE CARE SPECIAL?

What sets Media Eye Care apart is our focus on truly personalized eye care. We take the time to understand each patient’s vision needs, lifestyle, and long-term eye health goals, rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.

We combine advanced diagnostic technology with careful attention to detail - whether that’s managing complex prescriptions, specialty contact lenses, dry eye disease, or selecting lenses that improve everyday life. Patients often tell us they feel listened to, educated, and confident in their care, and that trust is something we value deeply.

That same level of care extends to our eyewear. When patients choose glasses through our office, we’re able to ensure the lenses, measurements, and frame selection are precisely tailored to their prescription and visual demands. This allows us to stand behind the quality, accuracy, and performance of the glasses we provide.

We’re not a high-volume practice. Instead, we focus on building lifelong relationships with our patients and

delivering thoughtful care that helps them see better and live more comfortably every day.

WHY DID YOU CHOOSE MEDIA, PA?

I chose Media because of its strong sense of community and the genuine connections people have with one another. It’s a town where patients value relationships, trust, and supporting local businesses, and that aligns closely with how I practice and what I believe healthcare should feel like.

It was also very meaningful to me to have the opportunity to continue Dr. Mary Fediw’s legacy of caring for the Media community for over 20 years. She built lasting relationships with generations of patients, and I’m privileged to build on that foundation while bringing in new technology and a modern approach to eye health - without losing the personal touch that patients here value so much.

DURING YOUR EXAM YOU CAN EXPECT:

• Visual Acuity Test: Reading letters on a chart

• Phoropter Test: vision machine with many lenses to find your precise glasses/contacts prescription

• Eye Muscle & Movement Check: Tracks your eyes with a light to ensure muscles and nerves work right

• Pupil Response: Checks how pupils constrict to light

• Slit Lamp Exam: Uses a bright, focused beam to view all parts of the eye

• Possible Dilation: Widen pupils for a clear view of the back of the eye

• Retinal Exam: Inspects the retina and optic nerve for damage or disease

• New Glasses: Find your perfect fit with many choices so your eyewear is perfect for you for sight and fashionability

We take the time to understand each patient’s vision needs, lifestyle, and long-term eye health goals.

THE ARTS THRIVE IN MEDIA

By supporting local art and artists, the Media Arts Council integrates arts into the life of the community.

ARTICLE BY NANCY HESFORD PHOTOGRAPHY COURTESY OF MAC

Music drifts across 4th Street from the Borough Community Center lawn. Turn the corner and you see neighbors dancing, mingling and laughing to a five-piece combo. MAC’s Twilight Music Series is one of many ways the arts bring our community together.

The Media Arts Council (MAC) has been a creative force in Media since its founding in 2006. MAC creates opportunities for residents and visitors to engage with local artists and integrates the arts into the community by collaborating with local organizations – Media Borough, the Media Fellowship House, Campbell AME Church, Rotary Club of Media, the Media Theatre, the Media Business Authority, and the Media Upper Providence Library, to name some.

Last year MAC initiated the Twilight Music Series, free monthly live concerts held on the lawn behind the Media Community Center. Professional musicians played jazz, roots, pop music and more. Residents danced and socialized and the adjacent Tot Lot filled with kids. MAC also partnered with the Media Business Authority for the Media Spring Arts Show. More than 5,000 visitors attended to view the works of the 140 plus artists who exhibited along State Street.

Youths benefit from MAC Jazz After Class, designed for high school students and oriented around a performing ensemble. Housed at the Campbell AME Church, the program includes instruction in jazz history in addition to musical instruction and helps prepare students for performance, college auditions, and a life-long love of America’s musical heritage. Scholarships are available. MAC’s Youth

Jazz Sundays feature high school and college musicians sitting in with area jazz professionals.

And there’s so much more! MAC partners with the Borough and others to create Public Art. Local artists are represented throughout the year by MAC at the Library, a partnership with the Media Upper Providence Library showcasing the painting, drawing, photography and other visual art created in our community. Novice artists and seasoned professionals depend on our low-cost, drop-in, Figure Drawing with Live Model classes to learn new techniques or refresh skills they already have. Budding playwrights give “first reads” of their works before a live audience, and receive feedback, thanks to MAC’s Playreading Series held at the Media Fellowship House.

The Media Arts Council is a non-profit with a small staff. The programming MAC provides is made possible by donations and dedicated volunteers. To donate, become a program sponsor, or volunteer, go to www.mediaartscouncil.org

GARNISH

INSTRUCTIONS

Infused Gin: Infuse 1 whole peeled and cut cucumber in gin for a week. Strain the cucumbers out. Add 1 tablespoon of organic dragonfruit powder and mix very well with a whisk. To make the syrup, toast 1/2 cup of black sesame at 350 for 10 minutes. Take it out and let it cool. In a mortar and pestle, grind the toasted black sesame, but not too fine. Add the sesame into one bottle of John D. Taylor’s Velvet Falernum.

Cocktail: Paint a strip of simple syrup down a Collins glass. Take a spoon full of Hawaiian black lava salt mixed with black sesame and layer that down where the painted simple syrup was placed. In a shaker tin combine: 1 1/2oz cucumber dragon fruit gin, 3/4oz toasted black sesame Velvet Falernum, and 1/2oz lime juice and shake that up!  Fill the painted glass with ice (I use crushed ice) and strain over the ice. Top with your favorite ginger beer (my choice is Fever Tree ginger beer).
