Everybody's Hometown!! A Suberb of Philadelphia

A town in the suburbs of Philadelphia full of old people seeing corny plays at the Media Theater, teenagers sitting on Plumb Street chain-smoking cigs (also known as Plumb Bums), black kids/other minorities playing basketball at the Media Elementary School playground, parents in their mid-life crises getting drunk at John's, 20-somethings drinking beer at Iron Hill after work with friends, hippy vegans buying organic foods and soy milk at Trader Joe's, and of course, people like me who just want to get the fuck out of here.

probably one of the most boring yet amazing small towns in the US. our shining attribute has got to be the teenagers. some of the coolest and open minded kids you'll ever meet live here. it doesn't matter what your story is, we're all pretty fucked up anyways so no one judges. over half of everyone has either a step mom, step dad, step sibling, half sibling, a missing parent, or a combination of these. almost every kid has a dysfunctional family of some sort. there isn't much crime, but the kids can be kind of trashy. many are just bored, so they get involved in things like drugs, cigs, sex, some drinking, and pranking. the vast majority of the teens here listen to screamo, punk/hard rock, classic hip hop, and your occasional pop song. the common hobbies of kids around here include drugs, sex, walking on state street, and (sometimes) football games. most kids are in middle class to lower middle class, though there are exceptions. as far as clothes go, hot topic is pretty popular, but mostly people will shop wherever they can find good cheap clothes. friday and saturday nights, you will find a great portion of people either at the granite run mall or walking around state street with their group of friends. everyone knows everyone in this town, so you're bound the see some one you're cool with. to an outsider or an adult, this may sound boring or weird. but they just don't understand. these kids are great, and we know how to have fun. we entertain each other, and are family.
