Re: Prospect Hill Baptist Church "In God We Trust" origins here

I lived in an apartment on 8th out of high school. Have you been to "Midgetville" in Ridley? I know it is not PC but that is what we knew it by growing up. I wouldn't mind seeing pictures of the homes. I remember the doors in some of the houses being under six feet tall. I heard one of the morning radio shows is looking for it but haven't called in. The people that live there don't seemed to like to be bothered so I have said told them. We used to stop at Little Hut to split that huge cheesesteak or at Venice when we wanted to sit and not have a half pound of cheesesteak on the floor of the car. Delco still has the best cheeseseaks!

Venice and Little Hut are still there midgetville is almost directly across from Taylor Hosp.I've been there several times when I was young and I heard that about the residents also but never had a problem there...maybe I'll head that way soon

My wife actually listens to Preston and Steve in the morning and they were looking for it. I do remember seeing people draw their shades as I drove down the road. I didn't call in because I hear it became a nuisance for the people living there. I played hockey growing up so I know Taylor, DC Memorial (born there) and Croter well.
