Apparently the town was loosely based on Huntingdon Valley, PA which is right outside where I live haha. Part of Huntingdon Valley encompasses the town of Abington where I was born.
I love this movie and never knew that!
Where did you hear that? That's hilarious. I'm from Philly myself.

There’s a reason why the movie tries not to reveal the time or place it’s set.share
Kaplan explained that fans likely related to the movie because it wasn’t necessarily written about her high school experience or Elfont’s, but it was created so that viewers could see their own experiences in the film.
That’s “why they never say what year it is, or what city they’re in, or what state they’re in, try to keep their license plates off the cars,” she said. “It could sort of hopefully be any place, any time. Except for now, obviously there are cell phones and texting and all that, but at the time, we tried to make an attempt to make it seem like it could be anywhere. This could be your school.”
