(between Bridge/Pratt) There was a Tavern on the corner of Oakland Street and Bridge Street called "Smileys". It goes by a different name now but during the 70's thru the 90's it was Smileys. Hope this helps. I grew up on the 52oo block of Sylvester Street. (between Bridge/Pratt) There was a Tavern on the corner of Oakland Street and Bridge Street called “Smileys”.

By 1949, almost all of our Smileys had moved over to Bridesburg. We didn't come back until 1970. While I was researching the Smiley history I found others who were not related to us living in Frankford. Now I would like to know more about them. One exception is my grandfather (Jim's great grandfather) Bill Smiley who was still living somewhere in Frankford during that time period but I do not know where that was. He was thin but not all that tall. He was single. His wife died in the1920s. Probably not. By 1949, almost all of our Smileys had moved over to Bridesburg. We didn’t come back until 1970.

My mother wanted me to ask. She recalls a tall slender man she thinks his name is Ed. She's not sure. He had a very small dog. Oh by the way she tells me now that it was in the 1950's.
