South Silly

She says her car was four feet from the bike. Legend says the giant biker's arm that knocked on her window was five feet long. If you promise her you'll forget it ever happened, she'll buy you a pretzel.

Gungate

You know what you took out of the Oregon diner parking lot. We saw you, give it back... or else.

Signgate

Some don't like the signs in the window, especially a certain group member who will not be named. Most do, though.

Naked-Man-On-Roof-gate

A guy was making a fool of himself, but then his old friend came along with a long forgotten photo that is forgotten no more...

Monkeygate

Was it a cat or a monkey? No one knows for sure. Do cats eat bananas? Don't ask don't tell.

Read-Gate

Jim Read locked eyes with a woman whose gaze could power the Walt Whitman Bridge. What followed was a long, ultimately doomed courtship, conducted in the group comments, inexplicably involving gummy bears. She left him on read.

The Rules

House Rules

Post about South Philly, be silly, and be excellent to each other. Report posts and comments that are rude or irrelevant.

That's it. Those are the rules.

Meanwhile, in the neighboring boroughs…

In a neighborhood far, far away…

West Willy: The Rules

Respect each other and don't be a jerk. All opinions will be treated with mutual respect, unless they are wrong, in which case the admins will handle it with the calm neutrality of a referee at a savesies dispute.

No inflammatory words, obscene images, gratuitous trolling, gratuitous shitposting, or the regular amount of shitposting either. We can tell the difference. We cannot, however, explain the difference.

Keep posts relevant to West Philly: lost pets, recommendations, the general vibe, and articles about the city as long as they make us look good.

If your post was deleted and you want clarification, message a mod. Do NOT make a second post asking why your post was deleted. That post will also be deleted. This is not a paradox. This is West Willy.

Rules for new-member approval: you must have mutual friends we trust, you must live in Philadelphia, and you must know, in your heart, which Wawa is the good one.

Participation in the group implies acceptance of these rules, of the crawl, and of the fact that this text will never, ever stop scrolling.

Episode IV½: A New Newbold…

The Bold & The Breezy

This group exists so that all members of the community may participate in improving our neighborhood, so we can all enjoy a safe, beautiful, fun, and relentlessly branded place to live.

We are not affiliated with any civic association or RCO, and we are definitely not a tax-exempt organization under IRC 501(c). We are, if anything, a state of mind, and that state of mind is 'someone parked in my spot.'

We discourage use of the page as a marketing forum by real estate professionals. We appreciate the work you do. We simply prefer the feed remain 100% arguments about trash.

The admins are pretty chill and cool. The admins would like you to know, again, that they are pretty chill and cool. The admins reserve the right to remove posts, individuals, and anyone who implies the admins are not chill and cool.

The golden rule: if you don't have something nice to say, let's chill and grab a drink. We are all neighbors. The bar is on Broad. Do not park in the middle of Broad.

Thank you.
