I had Louise and Steph over at my apartment for an evening in of cooking, chatting, and eating. It was their first time in the suburbs of Philly, as they’re Penn students and so are in the city of Philly all the time, and they were struck by Haverford’s “small town life.” I had never thought about my town like that before as it had always been my normal, but when they commented on it, I realised what a contrast it was from the city. In the evenings, it was quiet. When the occasional car passed by, you could hear the friction of tires on asphalt. String lights shaped as snowflakes decorated the street lamps (they’re there all year round, not just the winter). I began to see my town as my own lil Stars Hollow. But then I visited the town of Ambler, and boy is that town a Stars Hollow!
