We're sorry. Actually, no we're not.
This place peaked when the Philadelphia Folk Festival moved to Old Pool Farm in 1971 and the tie-dye crowd decided to camp there every August. Now it's home to about 1,300 people who think a weekend of fiddles and hacky sack is the height of cultural sophistication. Your biggest claim to fame is a folk festival that doesn't even happen inside your borough limits.
Even the Lenape were unimpressed 300 years ago. They named your creek Pakihmomink, 'where there are cranberries,' which tells you the most exciting thing they could find here was a bog fruit. Three centuries later, the best thing anyone can say about the place is still that there's a creek.
You're so small that the entire population would fit comfortably inside a mid-sized high school gymnasium with room left over for the bake sale. Your biggest annual event draws thousands of visitors, which means you're a town that exists to watch strangers park in your neighbors' fields for one folk festival weekend.
Your food scene peaks during Folk Festival weekend when food trucks show up to feed the tie-dye crowd. The rest of the year, you've got a few pizza joints and bars that locals describe as 'the best burger in the area,' which really just means it's the only burger within walking distance of the Perkiomen Trail.
