My wife is not a Villanova grad but grew up in Delaware County…Ridley.

Yesterday I was showing my kids video and pictures from the parade and my wife starts pumping her fist and joking about how great it is to see the city of Philadelphia celebrate a DelCo championship.

My immediate response: Villanova is not in DelCo, it’s in Montgomery County.

My wife angrily told me I was wrong and accused me of mainline snobbery while lecturing me about how Radnor, New Town Square etc. were all DeLCo. (which I knew)

However, in my mind…I seem to remember getting off at Villanova /St. David exit and driving towards Villanova going by a sign that says “Montgomery County Line”…yes/no?

I can’t seem to find a definitive answer online. Villanova’s Wikipedia page references that it “straddles the line” between the two counties.

Who is right?
Does my wife get to tease her hair up and celebrate a DelCo victory?
Or, do I get to pop my collar in honor of Montgomery County?
