Septa Trolley Towns : Media,PA Part 1

[rotodome]

Nice thread! I grew up in Philly and lived there for many years, and as such so many of the towns in the burbs are a mystery to me.

Darby, along with Clifton Heights, Aldan, Bristol and, to a degree, Norristown are all working/lower-middle class areas. Nothing wrong with that, of course. But I wouldn't consider any of them to be as picturesque as Media. (Then again, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.) This is the point I was alluding to in my initial response.

As for Darby in particular, I have to admit that I always felt a bit of tension there. It wasn't a "racial" thing; everybody just seemed tense. It probably flows down from town leadership which has had its issues over the years.

Of , are they dangerous or just low income suburbs?

I would say much more towards the latter. With the slight exception of Darby, I would feel fine walking through any of those towns snapping pictures.

Nexis, I don't think it's a trolley town, but you should check out Doylestown, I have a feeling you would like it.
