We're sorry. Actually, no we're not.
Your town name sounds like a fantasy character having a stroke, and the only Welsh thing about you is the pronunciation nobody can nail. You borrowed two Welsh place names from the old country, Bala and Cynwyd, and bolted them together because one wasn't enough to make you sound distinguished.
You're not actually Main Line elite, you're the discount version sitting at the kids' table. Sure, you've got 'urban sophisticates' but you're literally the first stop - you're Main Line training wheels for people who can't afford Bryn Mawr. Acting like old money when you're barely new credit.
Your biggest claim to fame is that Kobe Bryant went to your middle school before moving on to Lower Merion High, and your next best export is a TV station. Even your celebrity connections were just passing through on the way to somewhere better.
All the Philly TV stations built headquarters here then fled to Center City as soon as they could afford better real estate. You're where media companies go to die quietly while pretending they're still relevant. Even WCAU abandoned ship for the Comcast Technology Center - your own news stations don't want to report from here.
