I pass this nice house walking to the post office. It’s on Kinsey Street and you would not usually notice it unless you are on foot. It’s always well kept in an area close to Frankford Avenue which would usually attract a lot of street debris.

Future of Frankford
This is a link to the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission document entitled Frankford Avenue Corridor Transit Oriented Development Plan. It is long and I haven’t read all of it but when you add this to the Frankford Greenway plan you can get a feel for what some people think Frankford will look like in the future. You can expect the next issue of the rezoning of the city will incorporate the concepts laid out in these plans.
