Is that you, Montco?

POSTED: Wednesday, April 23, 2008, 12:13 AM

Attytood reader JT was watrching CNN and caught an unusual description of the Philly suburbs from Jon King, apparently seeking to explain Clinton support there.

King talked about the “working class” demographics in the Montco and Bucks suburbs closer in to Philadelphia and said : “Many of the houses are closer together. Some of them could use a little paint job.”

Does that sound like the Montco suburb closest to Philadelphia's western border...Bala Cynwyd?

And does it sound like the suburbs closest to Phlly's NW border...Wyndmoor and Erdenheim? (I admit to a bias...I live there.)

Duh. I meant "closest to Philly's NE border". Used to thinking of Chestnut Hill and environs as the "Northwest".
