Thank you for considering us and thank you too for bringing this posting to our attention.
We considered continuing the hanging basket tradition, but so many have been stolen.
We are indeed honored, and of course we do it only because we like things nice; however, the recognition is flattering.
And by the by there are 2 well kept properties at Harison and Grisham. I hope I have the street spellings right.They are right by Aria, used to be Frankford hospital, on Harison St. We do not know these people, but they do a fine job at maintaining their properties, and maybe these good habits can spread or at least be encouraged.
Yes, let us hope for a resurgence of good things in Frankford. It was once a proud neighborhood, but now is in some decay.
Caring and concerned citizens of Frankford
