Season 7, Day 4 - "Phillyphilia"
It's "Line" week, and today's quiz is inspired by the Main Line.
Hi everyone! Just a quick note: I came to the sudden realization that the numbers would work out nicer if the new G10 division became a G11 (so each player has ten opponents). That division will be locked at 11 players, so you can only get in by winning the Sr division (not by qualifying through the preseason quizzes).
New players: for division placement, you can either: 1. play the preseason quizzes (linked below) and I will slot you in a division based on your results (please do this before completing this week's quizzes if you choose this option), or 2. simply start with this week and I will place you in the Freshmen division by default.

Main Line
The Main Line is a group of western Philadelphia suburbs situated along the former Pennsylvania Railroad's "Main Line" which runs parallel to Lancaster Avenue and first connected the Main Line towns in the 19th century. Marked by sprawling country estates, the area became known as a bastion of old money. Overbrook, Merion, Narberth, Wynnewood, Ardmore, Haverford, and Bryn Mawr have been called the original Main Line towns. Gladwyne, Villanova, and Radnor are other Main Line towns that rank as some of the wealthiest communities in the country. Though the hit HBO show Mare of Easttown moves its setting east to Delaware County, in real life Easttown Township is part of the Main Line.
