Church Street Development

I haven’t been over the 1600 block of Church Street for a while now and today as I drove by I almost caused an accident as I stopped in the middle of the block to take in the action.  I knew it wasn’t a new building right there at 1632 but it sure did look good.  I got home and checked out the location on Google maps to see what it had been.  You can see that here.

Today we have this, thanks to Frankford Associates LTD.

Don’t know what plans they have for the building.  Anybody know anything about its history?

Flossie’s Gifts – Frankford Business Success Story

Flossie’s Gifts is an online business selling items like Precious Moment Figurines, Cherished Teddies, Dolls, etc.  Items can be viewed at their website www.flossiesgifts.com. In business since 1998,  they have worked out of their Frankford home with some storage at other facilities.

From the owners:

In February, 2010 we rented a unit at the Old Mill at the Riehl Building on Orchard St for storage. We are still setting up this facility and have decided to rent and additional unit on the second floor. We will be occupying this space on May 1st. This space will  provide some additional storage and an office space and photo studio for products. We will now be providing customer pickup of purchases and the availability of local customers to come in and look at catalogs and products. We also do a fair amount of international sales. It was just a couple of days ago my wife received a phone call from Iraq from a serviceman placing an order for a figurine to be shipped in the states. She told me it was a little difficult speaking with him because all she could hear was aircraft taking off in the background.

Its a pleasure to add them to our Frankford Resources page.

Hundreds Greet the Easter Bunny on Frankford Avenue

It was standing room only at Dream Girls (4603 Frankford Avenue) this afternoon.  The weather certainly helped as the skies once again shined brightly down through the El structure.  The crowd was in honor of the Easter Bunny who had agreed to sit for pictures at no charge.  Parents and kids lined up and waited patiently for their turn while the El whizzed by overhead. 

This annual event was sponsored by the Frankford CDC, SPIN (Special People in the Northeast) Frankford, Dream Girls Fashion, the Richardson Group, Frankford Business and Professional Association, Mark My Flesh tattoo and the  Holiday Thriftway supermarket.
