Rick Spector of Moviehouse Productions and Frederick C. (Fred) Prescott, will present Fred’s
Frankford Stories, a gritty installment in Moviehouse’s Philadelphia Neighborhood video series, at the
HSF monthly meeting lecture on Tuesday, June 9, 2026. The “star” of the film is Fred, lifelong
Frankford resident and board member of the Historical Society of Frankford (HSF). He tells stories
of growing up and living in Frankford at another time, the early 1940’s through the 1960’s. The
speakers will take questions from the audience following the showing.
Rick Spector is a Philadelphia native and a proud son of NE Philly’s Oxford Circle. Always interested
in public speaking, nostalgia, Philadelphia history, music, television and film, Rick acted on his
passions by forming Moviehouse Productions in 1983. His company offers multi-media nostalgia
presentations to community groups and short subjects by video. Rick served seniors for 35 years
through community relations work at Philadelphia Corporation for Aging. Rick hosted PCA’s public
service radio show “Milestones” during its entire five-year run.
The meeting and lecture will occur at the HSF library/museum at 1507 Orthodox St, Philadelphia.
The event is free and open to the public, and free off-street parking is available across Orthodox
Street at the Frankford Friends School. Doors open at 7:00 PM. Light refreshments will be served
before and after the lecture.
The lecture will also be streamed live on the Society’s Facebook page.
