The Ultimate Philly Neighborhood, Round Three: Vote in the Elite 8
This poll has closed.
Tune into Fox29 on Monday morning to hear which neighborhoods will move onto the championship!
Original post:
It’s down to the Elite Eight.
After thousands of you voted last week in the Sweet 16 round of the Fox 29/ Billy Penn Ultimate Philly Neighborhood Bracket, we are down to four Philly neighborhoods (Northwest Philly, represent!), two towns from the ‘burbs and two from South Jersey. Remember: If you don’t see your neighborhood or town on here, nothing personal! Philly’s got a lot of neighborhoods, and when you mix in our friends in suburban Pennsylvania, Delaware and Jersey, there are a lot of names to fit in.
Use this form to cast your vote for just one neighborhood or for all of ’em. We’ll close down voting in the Elite 8 on Friday at noon, so vote early and often.
