Center for Northeast Philadelphia History

Diane Prokop of the Northeast Times reports this week on the recent meeting of the Center for Northeast Philadelphia History at Trinity Church Oxford.

The CNEPH is an outgrowth of the Historical Society of Frankford, whose mission since 1905 has been to preserve and present the history of Northeast Philadelphia.
CNEPH’s initial goals were to sponsor a Web site through which individuals and organizations can post materials, publicize events and communicate; provide a central repository where archival materials and information on Northeast Philadelphia history are preserved and made available to the public; sponsor periodic meetings enabling participants to network and learn about one another’s activities; and sponsoring cooperative public programs that help to preserve and promote the area’s history.

Show them the money

I am posting this link to a post on my brother’s blog about a crime in Cinnaminson.  One point he makes is that some folks think they are immune to this crime problem because they live in Jersey.  That attitude may put them in at more risk than those of us who live in the city and are cautious wherever we go.   Criminals go where the money is.

Frankford closings

I was walking down the Avenue last week and saw the big “store closing” signs in the window of American Pants. Then heard at the Frankford Civic meeting that the Salvation Army is closing their facility and merging with another branch. Both are long term fixtures on the Avenue.
