Upper Bucks here. I know that in areas considered the Philly burbs there are pockets of red, Norristown area being one. Used to work with a guy who was new to the area and looking to buy a house. He was considering a new development in Gilbertsville. Someone quietly took him aside and told him he and his family would not be comfortable there. They’re Jewish. Hate to say but that was good advice, especially considering he had young kids in school who would have to deal with the redneck types all day. Sad.
