[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m from north Wilmington and my parents grew up in blue collar Philly neighborhoods (they always called it Philly, not sure why that is a no-no).
As noted above, wooder=water and quooder=quarter. There is also a weird long “o” in home or throne (or just the word Oh) - not sure how to type it, but it’s like “heooome”. We drop words. For instance, “I’m done my soup” is perfectly acceptable, whereas uptight DMV types insist on extra words I.e. “I’m done with my soup.” All of my relatives are far more direct than people typically are in the DMV. I get told a lot that I am “very genuine” - by which I suspect people here mean rude or blunt.

Tastykakes are the best! Wawa is the best! [/quote]

We used to call it club wawa because if you went there, you saw so many people you knew. Soft pretzels !! 
I’m 40 & at our elementary school at the end of the day you could buy one soft pretzel for 25 cents or 5 for $1. 
Water ice. 
I used to like to run [b]on Kelly Drive[/b] and I always loved the lights on boat house row. 
We would take people to do the Rocky steps when they visited. [/quote]

Should have never changed the name.  East River and West River were perfect![/quote]
