While everybody tries to find an explanation for the Eagles turn around, let’s not forget they played for the first time in Frankford colors.

Walking down Cheltenham Avenue a few weeks ago I found this very neat and clean row house. What attracted my attention was that the lawn and greenery were so well kept.

The thing that is the bane of a homeowners existence in Frankford is street trash. It does not belong to you. You did not buy that candy at the 7-11 or the cigar either but somehow the papers from them end up on your sidewalk. This conscientious homeowner cleans up the trash in front of his house and probably goes up and down a few doors just to make sure it all looks good.

On Saturday, September 22nd, see the Butch Ballard Trio at Mozaic from 7-11 PM.

I was reminded about Overington House this afternoon as I passed Lehigh Avenue at Sedgely and saw this billboard. It is the only Frankford business that I have seen advertising this prominently outside of Frankford. It has to be a hefty bill to use a billboard of that size.
