The Ultimate Philly Neighborhood Bracket: Vote in the Final Four
This poll is now closed.
It’s down to Roxborough, Manayunk, Media and Cherry Hill.
Thousands of you have voted in the Fox 29/ Billy Penn Ultimate Philly Neighborhood Bracket, and you’ve helped us whittle it down from 32 contenders to just these four. We’re now down to two Philly neighborhoods, one town from the PA ‘burbs and one from South Jersey. As we’ve said before: If you don’t see your neighborhood on here, it’s nothing personal. Philly’s got a lot of neighborhoods, and when you consider towns in the suburbs and New Jersey, there are a lot of places to fit in just 32 slots.
But now, we need your votes in the Final Four round. Use this form to cast your vote. We’ll close down voting in the Final Four on Friday at noon, so vote early and often.
