The highlight for me is coming up with some weird pseudoscience justification for why it’s okay to hit your kids.

    Not really? It’s just the Philadelphia suburbs. 14 miles northwest of where I saw Fishbone and Primus.

    Pennsylvania gets a looooot more Pennsyl-tucky than that.

      “Suburbs of Philadelphia” is pretty funny to me - it’s a 2:15+h car ride there from Philly. Americans might consider 100 miles a short commute, but dang. When does a part of PA stop being a Philly suburb and start being a Pittsburgh suburb?

        50 miles, not 100 miles.

        25 miles each way is not that big of a deal. In college I spent six months commuting 40 minutes each way (traffic gods willing it wouldn’t be longer) from 31st street to Springhouse, PA.

        Valley Forge is definitely at the limits of what I’d put up with though, unless there’s good train service.

          I was wondering if we are looking at the same map, and then it turns out there are two Valley Forges: one is a neighborhood in (yep!) the Philly suburbs, the other is a township next to York, PA. The latter is what I was referring to!

            Ah, that explains it. I wonder which one they live in.

            Actually it’s probably the York one because “Valley Forge" by Philadelphia apparently isn’t really a town in its own right.

      Fair. I always thought of Pennsyl-Tucky was more a state of mind/politics rather than an area, but I’m not a local and haven’t been in the area for years so I’m inclined to believe you.
