About Media

Residents proudly call Media "Everybody's Hometown." This is much more than a slogan - it also describes a very real state of mind.

Visitors to Media frequently comment on the town's friendly atmosphere. Media is a place where it is customary to say "hello" as we pass each other on the sidewalk. Media is a town where every visitor is welcome and where new residents are accepted as they plant their roots here.

Media is the last suburban town in America with a trolley running down the main street. Our brick sidewalks and tree shaded streets encourage walking. Children can walk to any of three elementary schools in the Borough. The centrally located shopping district hosts a variety of shops, restaurants, and services; and the central location of the library, parks, houses of worship, and theatre place them all within walking distance for our residents.

We are proud of the active participation of our residents in the
Borough's many events and welcome volunteers to help us with the tasks which, when done, make Media "Everybody's Hometown."
