Holmesburg is in between Mayfair and Torresdale it's the hood where the not rich people live but not middle class people live. The houses are a mixture from 8 bedrooms to 1 bedroom. HGB1 also. Everyone who lives here doesn't take shit from no one and most likely goes to Judge or reps "Pollock" playground.

A small subsection of Northeast Philadelphia with some crazy ass history, largely due to the prison. Not a poor area, but not a rich one. Close to center city & close to the burbs. Heavily overlooked by Mayfair. Holmesburg is the lowkey, middle child of Northeast Philly & home to America’s oldest bridge.
You either go to Lincoln, Judge, NFCHS, hit up Al’s deli, take the 66, or the 84 & fuck with Mayfair kids who think you’re from Mayfair because they don’t know where Holmesburg is.

Philadelphian: Where you from?
Other Philadelphian: Holmesburg.
Philadelphian: Where the hell is that? OR
Like the prison?
Other Philadelphian...Mayfair.
