Philadelphia

From the host

This is the sponsored board for Philadelphia, the City of Brotherly Love: Center City between the Delaware and the Schuylkill, the rowhouse neighborhoods that spread out from it, the woods along the Wissahickon, and the region beyond, from the Main Line and Bucks County to Delco and South Jersey. It's a city of corner stores and stoops, murals and BYOBs, where a hoagie, a soft pretzel or a cup of water ice is a neighborhood matter.

It's for anyone with something Philadelphia should know about: a restaurant opening in Fishtown, a cafe in Rittenhouse, a gallery show in Old City, a South Philly supper club, a stall in the Italian Market, a pop-up market in Northern Liberties, a charity drive in West Philly, a new shop in Manayunk or a service business in Cherry Hill, King of Prussia, Media or Bala Cynwyd.

Every ranked listing on this board is a paid placement. Sponsors bid for a spot, and the order is set by one thing only: the total each sponsor has bid in the current round. Nobody is ranked by reviews, editorial picks or an algorithm. Outbid the listing above you and you move up; the next sponsor can do the same.

Each listing links straight to the sponsor's own site. Links are marked as sponsored, and every listing is reviewed against the board's rules.

Questions

How is the order decided?

By the total each sponsor has bid in the current round, highest first. Nothing else moves a listing: no reviews, no editorial picks, no algorithm.

Is every listing an ad?

Yes. Every ranked listing on this board is a paid placement, and each link is marked as sponsored.

Can a business in South Jersey, Delco or on the Main Line list here?

Yes, if it has a Philadelphia connection. The board covers the city and the region around it, so a bakery in Collingswood, a shop in Media, a studio in Ardmore or a contractor in Bucks County that serves the city can list. Listings are reviewed against the board's rules, and ones that break them are removed.

Can a food truck, a block party or a neighborhood group list?

Yes. Any business, event, venue, organization or cause with a Philadelphia connection can list: a food truck with a regular spot in University City, a block party in Point Breeze, a civic association's cleanup in Kensington, a string band's fundraiser in South Philly, a mural tour or a new BYOB on East Passyunk Avenue.

What does a spot on the Philadelphia board cost?

The minimum bid on this board is $5. You choose your bid, a service fee is added on top, and checkout shows the full total before you pay. To move up, raise your bid; you pay only for the raise. When a round closes, its final order is kept in the board's archive and a new round opens.
