[quote=Anonymous]Well, I came back to check, and this thread got less fun.

I posted earlier - lots of family in Philly and I’m from Wilmington. One set of grandparents was in Conshohocken - it was pretty working class back then, but looks to be fancier now. I have great memories of walking to “the peanut factory” - which google tells me is still there!  I loved that place.

Also the poster who said that Wilmington, Delaware is sort of in-bred was right-on. Every time I run into someone who turns out to be from Delaware we immediately and simultaneously ask each other “where did you go to high school?” It tells you A LOT about the person. I went to a lousy public school and you can almost see the tower hill/archmere/tatnall/Sanford school crew recoil (despite the fact that I turned out ok). My husband is from the west coast, and is fascinated by the weird and persistent tribalism exhibited by a bunch of 40-50 year olds. And most of my friends growing up stayed there - I live “far away”, by which I mean 2-3 hours away.
