Media 

Media, which is known as “Everyone's Hometown”, is a great little community. It's downtown (State St) of about 8-10 blocks has a nostalgic feel of yesterday's past.  There are a multitude of restaurants, sport bars, and sandwich shops suited for catering to anyone’s palate. There are also a myriad of small retails shops including vintage finds, an old five and dime called “Deals” which will take you back to the 60s and 70s. There are clothing boutiques, antique shops, candy, stationery and almost anything else you can think of along with a weekly farmers market. Not to mention that there is a trolley that runs its full length and connects to SEPTA. One of the first buildings you will notice is the beautiful Court House. During the week, the surrounding sidewalks are bustling with people on their way to court and government related activities. This downtown area of Media is one of the many things people love about living here because the town is very “walkable” and offers just about everything. Truly a small town that takes you back to the past when Main St. was where neighbors met and talked about life, the universe and everything.
