T&T Bar to Change Its Name to Deuces

Rumors swirled around the neighborhood today that the T&T bar will reopen under “new management” with the new name “Deuces”.  This is the bar where Chris Spence was shot down only two weeks ago.  The neighborhood has vowed to keep it closed, no matter what the name.

 

Formerly Known at the T&T Bar, 4691 Hawthorne Street

Anybody Want to Open a New Halfway House in Frankford

This tip from Lisa came in yesterday afternoon.  There is a lot of property for sale in Frankford and I didn’t pay much attention till I saw the possible uses for the building.  Is this the best idea Unity Street.  You be the judge.  It’s been two years since the Town Hall meeting on this very subject but we still seem to be no closer to a legislative approach to controlling this problem.

Frankford’s Million Dollar Row House

1913 Ruan could be a nice little house but the most recent sale sure does put it out of my league, $1,200,000.  You can see it here on Trulia.  So says the OPA (Office of Property Assessment) at this link.  Or might this be a case of the city not being able to apportion the value of the sale multiple properties in a single transaction.

Got a tip on this from a real reporter because of a recent fire at the address.
