Paoli Train Trick: The Old Maids of Philadelphia's Main Line

All long-time residents of Philadelphia’s Main Line know that “old maids never wed and have babies, period.”

The phase is a little trick to remember the stations on the Paoli local train. So 'Old' stands for Overbrook and 'Maids' for Merion etc

The original station stops were Overbrook, Merion, Narberth, Wynnewood, Ardmore, Haverford, Bryn Mawr and Paoli.

Easy to remember when you know that:
Old Maids, Never, Wed And Have Babies, Period.
