A small subsection of Northeast Philadelphia with some crazy ass history, largely due to the prison. Not a poor area, but not a rich one. Close to center city & close to the burbs. Heavily overlooked by Mayfair. Holmesburg is the lowkey, middle child of Northeast Philly & home to Americaâs oldest bridge.
You either go to Lincoln, Judge, NFCHS, hit up Alâs deli, take the 66, or the 84 & fuck with Mayfair kids who think youâre from Mayfair because they donât know where Holmesburg is.
Philadelphian: Where you from?
Other Philadelphian: Holmesburg.
Philadelphian: Where the hell is that? OR
Like the prison?
Other Philadelphian...Mayfair.
