The Main Line is just about the waspy-est and jappy-est place around. The proportions have changed a little, but Junior League and Tiffany's are still there. The Main Line has some of the best private and public schools in the country, but it also has an underlying feeling of wealth and aristocracy, which makes it a bad place to live. Unless you yourself are rich, you'll be completely snubbed on the Main Line. Even the Beverly Hills girls aren't so obnoxious.

worst. place. in. the. world.
unless you're rich and don't give a shit about anybody but your socialite friends, even though you talk about them behind their backs anyway.

i have been forced to live on the Main Line by my parents, which is why i'll probably end up in therapy someday.

The Main Line is a suburb of Philadelphia for rich, polo-shirt wearing Jewish democrats. You know you live on the Main Line if:
*Your most commonly used phrase is "Daddy, can I borrow the jag?"
*Your school offers a course on ordering coffee at Starbucks.
*You know that Merion Country Club is the only appropriate place to play golf.
*The biggest gossip at the public school is that two members of the graduating class aren't going to college...well, they technically are, but anything other than Ivy League doesn't count.
*You just love Philly Cheesesteak...but of course yours is made with tofu and is carb and lactose free.
*For vacation you either go to your house on the "shore" or Paris.
*You give thousands of dollars to the Democratic party but really are a closet Republican.
*You are constantly embarrassed of Narbeth (AKA the crotch of the Main Line).
*When checking accounts dip below $20,000 you go into "Frugal" mode.
*Frugal mode to you means buying one bracelet at Tiffany's instead of two.
*You don't think Wawa sounds funny.
*You are surprised that there aren't bus tours of the prep schools in Lower Merion.
*Your favorite hobby is translating the words "Estate Tax" into Hebrew looking for evidence that they are the sign of the Antichrist.
*Your favorite food is "churry wooder ice" but if anyone asks it's Potatoes Dauphinoise.
*On your 16th birthday you graduated from doing all your shopping at Bala GC to the much more sophisticated Saks.
*You own at least one of the boathouses on the row.
*You get depressed because you can't afford a new car until your dividends come in...meaning people will see you drive that old 2003 Mercedes S Class Sedan around Radnor for another two months.

I'm a stupid Jew who likes to steal money from real Americans, so I think I'll go live on the Main Line.

"yo where are we?" "Were in the main line!!!" "Whats there to do here?" "Oh I don't know lets go to the mall or buy weed!?!?!?!?"

most of you obviously don't live on the main line because almost none of the people here are jewish. the majority of the main line is catholics. the main line is a suburb located out of philadelphia, and yes, most people are very rich. only about 60 or 70 percent, though. while the main line is mostly preppy people who are very rich, it is also very diverse. not everyone drives a jaguar. i don't care what everyone's stereotypes about it is, but i know for a fact it's got a whole different group of people. i have lived here since i was born. yeah, we have the second biggest mall in america, and yeah, there are a lot of starbucks, and yeah, about half of the residents are total preps, but a lot of them are really down-to-earth and/or middle class. i don't know what your big 'idea' about this place is, but it's not what you think it is. we don't all drive our big, fancy cars. not all of us shop at designer stores. unless you've actually been here and lived here for all your live, your conception about the main line and everybody living here is very, very wrong.
