    Hoping to watch tonight.

    Do you guys know where they actually filmed it? Because Easttown is actually in Chester County, not Delco. Borders Delco. And the real Easttown is basically on the Main Line. Devon Horse Show area. It's not a bad place to live at all. My parents house was five minutes or so away in Wayne.

    Easttown is the name they picked - I think the show creator is from Berwyn so I guess that's why? It's clearly not filmed in Easttown - like JP said it looks Coatesville-ish.

    I need someone to say "I'm goin' to the ac-ah-me" and somebody needs to show up somewhere with a paper bag full of 50 soft pretzels.

    I thought Easttown was a made-up name, didn't know it's the township Berwyn is located. And I lived in Berwyn.

    Let me be clear - Delco is not a bad place to live. But it definitely has less of a Delco feel and more of an exurb feel like Downingtown/Coatesville/Phoenixville. Pretty sure they filmed in all of these places, too. I think the only filming they did in Delco was at Booth's Corner in Boothwyn, which is very much the rural version of Delco.

    Berwyn is in Tredyffryn (sp?) Twp. & Easttown Twp., which share a school district I believe, and definitely an upper class kind of place.

    It is an exurban feel - I haven't seen any SEPTA buses or trolleys. Also there's usually some type of "downtown" area in your typical Delco town.

    Yeah. Delco's weird though. The main line area is like a different universe compared to the Upper Darby type areas. 


    Fucking Phoenixville started getting cool right around when I moved out of that area. Was in Collegeville till '13. Every time I swing by now there is a new bar or restaurant that wasn't there the last time I was there. Hopefully the quarantine didn't do too much damage though

    Well, yeah, it's the hawty tawty Main Line and not Delco.  =)

    My whole thing is 'The Accent' is the Philly Area, and I just label it Delco as I see it that way more than any other part of the area. BUT that accent definitely has different dialects for different parts of the area. Like I can pick out a Far Northeast accent from a South Jersey accent from a Delaware (state) to a South Philly over to West Chester and everything in the middle. But on the whole the basic pieces of the long O's, short A's, and 17-syllables-into-1 are there. 

    At a party in Illinois? If there was someone there from our area I would damn well be able to pick them out either by what they're wearing or their accent and what part of the region they're from based on those things. This would be an extremely fun game to me.

    I'm sure I've linked to this guy before re: The Accent - they're so good -but he does the best breakdown of it all by far. I could watch and listen to this shit all day:

    The accent is completely outrageous. I couldn't believe it when I moved here. My wife's is pretty solid, her mom takes it to another level.

    The made up versions of words in this region are fucking spectacular.
    Crayon is my personal favorite.
    It is not a thing the king wears on his fucking head!

    CROWN!!!!!

    I do not understand that one a little bit. That one, to this day, gets me the most and I hear it more often now since I have a kid.

    I don't get that either. It's always been cray-on to me. 

    My wife pronounces caramel like "carmel." I 'm not sure if that is a Philly thing or not but it bugs me.

    Carmel caramel is understandable - and I think that is done is plenty of other areas of the country.

    Crown is just.....whacked.  Crayn or crayon are the only two ways I'd ever heard it before we moved back here.  I thought my in-laws were just slack jawed yocals, but the fucking teachers say it that way as well.  What in the fucking fuck?
    I mock almost anyone who says it...I know it is a dick move but, seriously.

    I don't think I've ever pronounced it crown. If I was creative and had more time I'd post a Netflix poster of that Queen Elizabeth show that says "The Crayon".

    My mom and especially my uncle say “warshington” or “wartch” a lot. My sister and I luckily didn’t pick up on that.
