From Lynda:

Now that the summer is  winding down plans to clean up the old Jack’s Camera and Video store site on Frankford Ave are beginning to get started. The extreme heat this summer delayed our start but we are at it again. If you or your group have any interest in seeing a top notch community arts organization on Frankford ave please get in touch! Right now we need to clean up the site and do some demo work to get started. We will later on need a good piano and musical items and instruments, we need artists and teachers, performers and volunteers and we need patrons! Are you an artist who needs a place to call your own? To join our mailing list e-mail: lynda_desouza@msn.com !

The John Loftus of Northeast Times has a story on the Overington park problems.  See it here.  The Inquirer has another version here.

More info about the filming of Friday Night Lights at Frankford Stadium.  Frankford High is being renamed “Pemberton High” but the football team still gets to be the Pioneers.  I wonder if they’re still in Philly?  Pics and more info via philly.com.

According to Inqlings, that huge light setup that’s annoying Glen Quagmire over on philadelphiaspeaks.com is for some filming the tv show Friday Night Lights is doing at Frankford Stadium.  We have a pretty long list of stuff that’s been filmed around 19124.  I’ve never watched the show but any regular viewers should keep a look out for our stadium, maybe I can grab some screen shots, it’ll probably be months before it airs though.
