Re: just for local interest

Thanks! I'm having trouble finding an appropriate political map to match up details, but from what little I can derive, it'd seem that Jenkintown's borders themselves might be a bit of similar manipulation. Maybe I'm too cynical, but... that little bump in the SW corner would seem to correspond with that private bank (whose name escapes me at the moment) which only has a few hundred clients, but each one meeting their $5 million minimum account requirements (or did they poor-down recently and drop it to $2MM?). You probably know of the institution of which I speak; it's essentially a private bank primarily for the Pitcairn family. If my hunch is true, Jenkintown would get the corporate taxes, but Cheltenham would "get" the votes (not that anyone actually lives at the bank, so it's a non-issue). Similarly, that little bump on the SE corner is probably the Pavillion, although I always thought that that was in Abington township and only a Jenkintown mailing address. Again, that'd seem to be a huge tax revenue source.
