Agreed. It was meant to be a very vague descriptionfor an outsiders perspective . The inner ring suburban poverty ring is extremely small in the overall picture and there are a ton of affluent areas scattered in the inner ring suburbs including the Main Line.

Most people from Philly or most people from Villanova are Evangelical? Well either way you're wrong.

I'm from the Philly Area!

I disagree with people who think they are better because of their race!

I show the facts! I don't mean to disrespect true evangelicals.

I seek the fake ones, who think they are better because of where they live.

Our neighborhood is full of teardowns. Is that common in Philadelphia? I've looked bit on-line and it looks quite different from Chicago suburbs. There seems to be so much land which is great. It surprises me though because I think of the East as congested. Can anyone who knows Chicago provide insight? Also, is family life different there? Are the suburbs attractive? Are the people different?

Leafy Moorestown, NJ was rated #1 place to live by Money in 2005. You have easy access to Philly (train/car), Princeton, the shore/Atlantic City, northern NJ with NYC about an hour and 40 minutes. If you want more info PM me. Here's a picture of our community house on Main street, and yes, the town is as nice as it looks:
