I like to mark progress from the flashy side of gentrification coming up through Kensington. But I must point out the middle class utopia of a Lowe’s coming (oh so close) to Frankford. How close? 1000 feet close. The new construction coming to the Port Richmond on Aramingo Ave between Wheatsheef and Butler is 1000 feet away from the Frankford Creek, the border of fair Frankford.
They are building, not in yet, but oh so close, to Frankford.
