Original post:
What is the ultimate neighborhood in the Philadelphia area?
Last week, you voted for the neighborhoods you wanted to see fill out the last four wildcard slots on the bracket. On Monday morning, Fox 29 anchors Mike Jerrick and Alex Holley pulled from a hat to select Roxborough and University City of Philadelphia, Narberth of the Pa. ‘burbs and West Deptford of South Jersey.
Remember: If you don’t see your neighborhood or town on here, it’s nothing personal. Philly’s got a lot of ’em, and when you mix in our friends in suburban Pennsylvania, Delaware and Jersey, there’s a ludicrous amount of names to fit in a 32-slot bracket.
Now the fun begins. Use this form below to vote for your neighborhood or town in round one of the contest to name the Ultimate Philadelphia Neighborhood. You have until Friday.
