New Businesses on Main Street

Such a nice day, I had to walk around a bit.  The mystery of the former American Pants property continues.  Lot’s of work being done but no sign of what it will become.  Does anybody have a clue?

New little produce store at 4611 Frankford Avenue,  run by two nice African gentlemen.

Also met some folks on Griscom Street trying to get into the Frankford Group Ministry office.  It was closed with no notice or anything on the door to say what was happening.  This was a tip from one of our faithful readers.  Thanks Crazymommy.

Center for Northeast Philadelphia History

The Center for Northeast Philadelphia History met last week at the Tacony Music Hall and afterward took a tour of the Victorian-era structure.

The center, which is sponsored by the Historical Society of Frankford, visited a structure that is the only property in Tacony listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Read the rest of the story in the Northeast Times here and also a good story about Mary Disston here.
