The main line is a place where people can all pretend like they aren't rich. They hire college students to raise their children, and live mainly off of seltzer water and cottage cheese. They hire people to vaccuum and plant pretty trees but they are all either too strung out on pills/too busy commuting into the city to make the "big bucks"/in nantucket to notice. The women all have large breasts and tiny waists because they get plastic surgery, and they glare at other women who are threatening their "territory" (the husbands that are cheating on them with the babysitter). They think that their children are better because they saturate them in the "good life"-vacation, swimming and horseback riding lessons, fine art, and organic food, but really they are just creating their children to be people who truly believe that they are better than the rest of the world.
The sickest thing about the mainline is that there is old money, and the second generation truly does not know any different than what they have been raised in. They will live and die believing that they are "middle class" and that the way that they are living is fine. They will go on growing their little gardens thinking that it is environmentally friendly, yet continue to exploit people for their own profit, whether it be in their business or at their job. They will donate money to charities to feel better about it, and make their kids go on short term mission trips so that they realize how "lucky" they are. This pocket of suburbia is the epitome of everything that is wrong with America, and it truly is sad. There are documentaries about the pits of poverty in Africa, but there should be documentaries about the pits of wealth in Berwyn or Wayne.
Those who read this and think that they are different, they are not. If your kid goes to Radnor township, you are a sell out. If you think that just because your kids go to Good Sam Youth they aren't being exploited by your wealth, then go read the Bible and think about Jesus' words on what it means to be a person of humility and of little possessions. You are NOT middle class, and I don't care how many good causes you support. The mainline is a disgrace to humanity and I hope the recession burns a hole through it.

False conception that the Main Line is full of jews. Maybe there are a bunch of jews in Ardmore and Wynnewood, but the majority of the Main Line has and always will be WASP. White- Ango Saxon PROTESTANTS (i.e. Episcopalians). It's so obvious that people arn't really from here when they call everyone a jew considering the majority arn't. So what if everyone has a luxury car of some sort, my family has had Jaguars for years and will continue to do so, but that doesn't mean I'm a jew. Jews live out in Downington and West Chester (areas where people who can't afford to live on the Main Line live). The majority of the Main Line is also REPUBLICAN, not Democrat. The flashy annoying Democrats are out of towners who moved into the Philly area because of business and now act like they are from old money. People who hate on the Main Line and soooo jealous and it is VERY obvious by reading through some of these posts. Oh yea, and BTW- Gladwyne, the richest town on the Main Line, now ranks #3 in the nation, placing it above Beverly Hills, Greenich CT, and other various prestigious places.
I wear polo's, blast rap from my mom's SUV or my dad's Jag, go to a wealthy school, and come from a family that has lived on the Main Line for generations. Sucks for everyone who doesn't live here LOL have a nice day- losers.

This is a definition of the "Main Line", a line of suburbs right outside of Philadelphia. First, all the little white boys think that they are gang members and go biking around the neighborhood that they call the "streets" or the "hood". No, just no. The rich main line moms are fucking annoying and act like their kids a miracle children sent from heaven but little do they know that they all JUUL and smoke whatever shit they are doing at frickin bar mitzvahs. There are many public schools, and some private schools. The kids, oh the kids, are fucking donkeys. With Wiggas, JAPS, kids that could possibly shoot up their school in the future, and stoners, the main line kids can not get any worse. DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT go to Suburban Square, if you want to stay away from these pieces of donkey shit kids. Overall, no hate on the mainline(my hometown yo),but It is a sack of balls that is consumed with snobby ass kids who will die because their juuls killed them. . It is a fucking void that you will find yourself forever empty in there because everyone is jewish and u feel left out because your not jewish and its the trend to be jewish and have a fun mar mitzvah where your friends give speeches for you :(.
ben rosenberg from the main line: yo yo yo gang gang all on that gang shit my homie lets go bike to suburban square yo
jack goldstein: sounds like a good idea my brotha but I got some shit to do
ben rosenberg: what u gotta do
jack goldstein : I got piano practice
ben rosenberg: aww damn aint that a bitch

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.

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.

The Main Line is just section of rich people who think that they are better then other people. It is also a place were you can see some of the most impationt people in the world for driving, buying, and even talking! If you are a "Main Liner" then you are most likely wealthy and live in a massive house with 5 bathrooms or you live in an apartment with the delux put in it. A person who lives in the Main Line also may think that he/she is a real cool kid and likes to wear the following:
1. a polo (aka collared shirt)
2. a college hat
3. baggy sweat pants
4. a 150 doller shoes you got customised
5. a gucci wallet
A Main Liner also likes to listen to either rap (typiclly the best known rapper) or the newest alternative rock band that is played on MTV.
