Holmesburg 

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.

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.
