New bookstore in Frankford

I was in Borders up in langhorne Saturday night shopping for books.  The number of bookstores in our area are few.  I was browing the local history section as I always do and came to the Arcadia edition on Frankford by the Historical Society of Frankford.  I already own that book but then it occurred to me that it makes sense to make it available to our readers.

So when I got home I went to Amazon.com and in a few minutes set up the associate account that let’s us offer books for sale by amazon.com though the Frankford Gazette.  We have a few of our favorite titles linked on the book store page under Quick Links on the top left side of the page.

So if you find anything you like order it through our links and we make a commision.  It will go toward our domain name and hosting charges.  Keep your business in the neighborhood.

The Frankford spirit

The lead, front page story in the Northeast Times this week is Frankford.  Jon Campisi gives us a once over and comes up with a balanced view of what is going on along the Avenue.  It’s business, with its ups and downs and it’s Frankford. 

The businesses that are covered are good examples of what works.  Now how, with the assets we have in this community, can we attract more businesses.  People don’t want to have to drive with gas at $4.xx per gallan if they don’t have to.  The walkable community is here waiting to be discovered. 

The next great neighborhood in the next great city.

Read the entire story here.

Art Holiday

Time to put this to bed for a while.  I talked to the folks at Compu City in Brooklyn and they said they had nothing to do with what is going on at the old Art Holiday.  Then this afternoon as I was going by I saw a new dumpster was on site so I stopped and talked to the man in charge.

The name of the business is Bald Eagle Sanitary Ware.  This is a picture of their brochure which is posted on the front of the Art Holiday building.  The building is gutted inside but the screen is still in place.  They are going to make it into a warehouse for their products.  The product being high end shower bath shower enclosures.

Well at least it’s not porno.
