Thank you for sharing these awesome photos! I’m a Delco girl from way back. I even have the T-shirt “It’s A Delco Thing”. I remember a lot of these areas. I was raised in Clifton Heights, but was forced to go to Upper Darby High School after they shut down our cute little school on Baltimore Pike. Did two years at UDHS and hated every moment. All my family still live in Media, West Chester, and surrounding areas. I love to visit Delaware County, but now live in Clearwater since 1997. There’s no place like home. We have a great Philly cheese steak place down here called “Delco’s”…but, there’s no place like home. You brought back all the nostalgia of the good old days. Thank you and Happy New Year from Fl.😎
I remember the small high schools. Collingdale, Sharon Hill, Darby-Colwyn, etc. Garnet Valley was also a small high school back in the 60s and 70s, but with massive residential and commercial development in Concord Twp., it’s now one of the larger high schools in Delco. Thanks for commenting.
Very interesting. I've lived over thirty years in Delaware County (though I was born in Montco), and as a history buff, I enjoy looking at these photos and buildings from times gone by (not to mention the railroads).
