Free GED classes

Our new mayor has embraced focussed on the need to raise the educational level of the citizens of Philadelphia. New companies looking to relocate here look for an educated labor pool as one of the requirements for filling new jobs if the settle in this region. Philadelphia lags far behind other areas in that department and it is good to see someone actually decide to do something about it.

The school district has already taken some steps in that direction with the Parent Leadership Academy. With that in mind we offer this announcement of the classes that will begin on Tuesday January 29th. It’s a great opportunity to get a new start. Spread the word.

Crime in Frankford

A 19-year-old man was hospitalized in critical condition yesterday after
being struck in the back by an apparent stray bullet in Northeast Philadelphia.
Police said the man, whose name was not disclosed, was wounded as he stood
talking to his father about 12:20 p.m. in the 1700 block of Brill Street(Google maps).

Another stupid incident involving criminals too stupid to be out on the street. Read about it here and here.
