20 Things Known to Be True If You Are From Pennsburg, PA

City-Data.com

1.You’ve known your graduating class since you were in preschool.

Because you all went to the same preschool. It’s also likely that you’ve known your best friend since you both came out of the womb.

2. The list of things to do for fun in this town is pretty much nonexistent.

There used to be a roller-skating rink until the school district bought it, so again, there is nothing fun to do.

3. Hungry?

How about one of the seven pizza shops in town?

4. Want to go shopping?

The nearest major mall is definitely more than 30 minutes away.

5. Want to go hang out with friends late and grab a bite to eat?

The diner is the place to be.

6. When people hear that you live outside of Philadelphia they think city.

The reality is farm area.

7. Every high school kid has most likely gone to New York on a class trip, on multiple occasions.

8. Friday football games are the place to be.

Especially because there's Chick Fil A there and that is usually a 20-minute drive.

9. Not only do your friends know your parents well, they probably know your relatives like your grandmother, aunt, and uncle really well too.

10. Getting your license was a big deal.

Most of us probably got our license in Dublin.

11. Pretty much every kid grew up going to watch the Halloween parade.

12. Once you got to high school, Homecoming and Prom were taken very seriously.

13. Walmart was a 15-minute drive or more when we were in Elementary School.

Then one day, it magically appeared.

14. Route 663 is the lifeblood of the town and is the major route to leave the town.

15. Secret Spot used to be the place to be in the summer for ice cream but then it had to close down.

Like everything else fun in life. SERIOUSLY. THERE IS NOTHING TO DO IN THIS TOWN.

16. You could always count on the Grand Theatre for a great movie and popcorn all for under $10.

17. Most of the school can be found on Wing Night at The Wingman.

18. Tosco's has amazing pizza and it was always great when there was Tosco's pizza for lunch at school.

19. Green Lane is a hub for many different activities.

Just DON’T SWIM IN THE WATER.

20. The bridge to Green Lane park will most likely be closed forever.
