Every single time you meet someone from Delco, the first thing that they ask is, "Oh, where did you go to high school?!" or "What parish are you from?" Then, BOOM, you ironically end up being best friends with their one good friends cousin.
2. There is a Wawa every 2 miles.
Delco people love going on their Wawa runs. The first Wawa ever built was on MacDade Blvd. in Delaware County! You can basically walk out your door and turn left or right and end up at one of them.
3. Everyone says they are gonna leave when the graduate high school, but usually end up staying and raising their families there for YEARS.
The Delco Bubble is a real thing. Everyone claims to hate it at some point, but they never end up leaving.
4. The accent.

Youse better believe we ain't kiddin when we ask for a cup of wooder. We pronounce crayon as crown, syrup as surup, and bad like bayd.
5. Your entire high school thrives during Memorial Day and Labor Day Weekend.
Wildwood is every Delco persons ideal place to be on the cold days of winter. Everyone "goes down the shore" during these weekends and the infamous Senior Week.
6. Each town has their own reputation.
Whether it be Folcroft, Upper Darby, Glenolden, or Swarthmore, every town is different in their own way.
7. Wednesday Nights in Media are the best in the summer.
"Gotta love Media's dining under the stars"!
8. The Erin Express!
Barnaby's, Casey's, Maggie O'Neals, and The Plumstead are just a few of the many bars that Delco people love during March! (and every other day of the year). It's like a mini high school reunion!
9. You grew up hanging out in the Springfield, Granite Run and MacDade Mall.
The malls were always the best place to hangout with your middle school friends. (RIP to the Granite Run mall and MacDade.)
10. You can't go into Nifty Fifty's or Applebee's without running into people that you know.
You pretty much can't go anywhere in Delaware County without running into someone.
11 . The Blue Ribbon Special.
Tom Jones. Enough said.
