Roxborough Rants & Raves. It's a Facebook group for Roxborough/Manayunk/Andorra/Wissahickon residents. It's a drama goldmine. Also, every once in a while they come together and actually give good, neighborly advice that ends up helping someone in a tough situation. This is one of those times.

Honestly only reason I'm still on Facebook is the neighborhood groups and finding out how unhinged my neighborhood is.

Rants and Raves has to be one of the most toxic places on the internet and I'm here for it.

Roxborough Rants and Rwves is one of the reasons I deleted Facebook. There is so much blatant racism on there.

I was about to say, that group's "drama" is usually just generic brand NIMBY racism. It was pretty much the Citizen app before the Citizen app got popular.

One of facebooks most racists Philly community group. It’s also full of entertainment. Used to be more racist pre pandemic

Each neighborhood basically has their de facto community group on Facebook , west Willy is for wast Philly and super progressive in nature
