Where the fuck is lower Merion?

Yeah, my family’s ultimately here cause my dad grew up here in the ‘40s. In my life, y'know, it was the town at the center of one of the directions the edge of the Philly commuteshed passed through, the Central Bucks School district made it the best of them, but there was some preexisting weight to it as the county seat and professional-services center, and before the subdivisions were built the center of a farming region, and thus the place they decanted their surplus kids to a working class service/industrial workers. I’ve been walking around and all the houses have been ponced up, there’s finally *some* dense multifamily but it’s all poncy brick or faux-original stone and like 4 stories in the middle of town at best.
