From the ice cream shops, historical landmarks, overpriced Christmas shows, and abundance of deer, it is safe to say that Bucks County, Pennsylvania is more than just a suburb outside Philadelphia. And although we may have complained about it from time to time, it is important to recognize how fortunate we are to have grown up in such a lovely town.

If you consider yourself a Bucks Countian, chances are you will relate to the following:

1. Telling people you live “45 minutes outside Philadelphia”

2. Going to the Jersey shore on weekends

3. Being either "Team Neshaminy Mall" or "Team Oxford Valley Mall"

4. But knowing the 45-minute drive to King of Prussia is always worth it

5. Rita’s sells “water ice,” not "Italian ice"

6. This is a hoagie, not a sub

7. You know what Mischief Night is

8. Odds are you took a school field trip to Pennsbury Manor, Chruchville Nature Center, Six Flags, and/or the Trenton Thunder stadium

9. You’ve taken the New Jersey transit from Hamilton to NYC

10. You took off school the day the Phillies won the World Series due to “Phillies Phever”

11. Bragging about how Pennsbury Prom, aka “The Greatest Prom in America,” takes place right in your hometown

12. You’ve been late for work waiting for ducks/geese to cross...

13. ...And have slammed the brakes due to random deer dashing in front of your car on multiple occasions

14. You used to go to the Shadybrook light show every year until they raised the price to $25

15. You’ve gotten apple cider from Styer’s market


16. You took your driver's test at either Neshaminy or Hunnington Valley

17. RIP Goodnoe’s </3

18. You’ve driven past Sesame Place a million times but have only been there once

19. You’ve been to an NAC birthday party at least once

20. And probably even a Giggleberry Fair one

21. You’ve gone laser tagging at UltraZone

22. Feeny's has supplied a plethora of your Christmas decorations

23. You’ve gotten up at 7 a.m. to go to Rice’s flea market

24. You travel up to Peddler’s Village during Christmastime every year

25. You’ve listened to Chris and the Crew on PST

26. You've gone tubing down the Delaware

27. You’ve seen a play at the Bucks County Playhouse

28. Sleepy Hollow hay rides were always scarier than Shadybrook ones

29. You've dodged horse poop at Core Creek Park and Tyler Park

30. You love the Farmer’s Market

31. Ow Ow Cow is one of your go-to ice cream spots

32. You grew up petting the animals at the Middletown Grange Fair

33. Casually bragging about how P!nk grew up in Doylestown

34. Or how "the dollhouse" in Pretty Little Liars is located in Tyler Park

35. You leave Fred’s in New Hope a few pounds heavier than when you entered

36. Thinking there's no waffle quite like a Nina's waffle

37. You most likely took a summer class at Bucks Community College

38. Throughout your teenage years, you constantly complained about how boring it was to live in Bucks County

39. It’s not until after you left that you realized how fortunate you were to have grown up here…

40. …And how much you miss and love this place you will always call home

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society.
