What makes someone embody the Delco spirit?  Ryan Dickinson on the Shore News Network knows the telltale signs you’re from Delaware County.  

Wawa is a staple across the Philly burbs, but if you have a favorite, writes Dickinson, Delaware County might be in your blood. Much like hoagies from the acclaimed convenience store, Philadelphia sports teams are Delco’s unofficial religion.  

Whether it’s flocking to go watch The Birds at a local sports bar, playing hooky to see the Phillies, breaking out your favorite Sixers gear, or catching a glimpse of Gritty at The Flyers game, sports have always been part of the Delco ritual.  

When it comes to actual church, Delaware County communities are often centered around the local parish, writes Dickinson. They can host important gatherings, such as school and community events. If you’ve been to one of these functions, you can confidently lay claim to your Delaware County roots.  

If the Blue Route rings a bell, but also gives you a sense of dread, congratulations! You’re probably from Delaware County.

While the I-476 can be a lifeline for many commuters, the traffic is also a nightmare. If you find the Blue Route to be both a blessing and a curse, there’s no question that Delco is your home.
