Media may be compact at less than one square mile, but this Delaware County seat located 12 miles southwest of Philadelphia is quite multifaceted. Nicknamed “Everybody’s Hometown” for its stated commitment to diversity and neighborliness, Media also bears distinction as America’s original Fair Trade town — characterized by its support of businesses that ensure workers receive a fair price for products and labor. The feeling of community radiates on State Street, where shopkeepers tend lovingly to stores situated in buildings older than the town itself. Acquaintances greet one another during outdoor concerts on the pedestrian Plum Street and dine under the stars at open-air dinners.
