Yes, Kenny’s did close down. It’s a new restaurant & owner now.
That photo…isn’t that from the factory at Tulip & Venango or Tulip & Tioga?
Yup, it’s actually not in Frankford. Here’s the street view:

I think its a wonder Mr Gilbert is able to keep that store (Thriftway) going at all as it is. With all the poverty in Frankford the shoppers havn’t much money to spend and I imagine utilities there cost a lot and I bet the shoplifting there takes a heavy toll. When they move out of there I guess people will complain about that too?
