Aramingo Crossings Rises
It really annoys me that different places put the “s” at the end of Aramingo Crossing[s], but anyway, here’s an iPhone pick of a wall that is just now sprouting up out of the ground. It seems odd because it’s coming up perpendicular to Aramingo Ave, I would have thought they’d push it to the back to get tons of parking in but what do I know.
Now remember why we care about this even though it’s not in Frankford. It’s REALLY CLOSE to Frankford. We’re getting Fur-Niture Sir-Plus, which advertises on TV and dont’ get me started on Globe Dye Works and what’s going on in East Frankford. Good things are happening, and they’re coming from the southwest.
Frankford Health Care now Aria Health
In what has surely been a long time coming, the Philadelphia Business Journal is reporting that Frankford Health Care Systems is changing it’s name to Aria Health. They think the name “better reflects its dedication to providing the best clinical outcomes and personal experience in the greater Northeast Philadelphia and Bucks County region”.
You know, it is what is. It’s fairly obvious the Frankford Hospital brand conjures thoughts of economic decline, especially to patients from Northeast Philly so you really can’t blame them. But it just leaves me nostalgic for my own childhood. My pediatrician had his offices on Oxford Ave. The ear, nose and throat specialist who put my tubes in had his offices in Frankford too. And they all worked out of our local Frankford hospital.
It really speaks to Frankford’s place in the Northeast. Doctors offices once dotted the landscape. But the times change, the Torresdale facility opened and stole all of the obstetrics away. And the rest of the doctors went with them. The same thing happened with Frankford(the neighborhood)’s residents. They all went further and further into the Northeast.
The Dumpster Is Gone From Harrison Street
It’s been gone since the week after it showed up, but this is the first time I was able to get a pic of it.
