Things I’ve Learned From the Message Board and A Picture I’m Not Posting Here

Since the last time I pleaded for any of Frankford’s thirty eight THOUSAND residents to go over to our message board and strike up a conversation, I’ve learned quite a few things.

  • Too many things to list about Overington Manor, that thread itself has made setting the message board up worthwhile
  • The clubhouse for the Frankford Yellow Jackets was the corner house at Penn and Dyre
  • It has been alleged that Leandro’s Pizza is the best pizza in Frankford
  • The PMBC’s first cleanup this year is on April 4th

P.S.  I’ve posted 2 photos.  One is of Overington Manor in 1951, the second one is the exact same shot I just took this past Sunday, 58 years later.  I haven’t posted it here though.  It’s over on the message board.

I See Romano’s

Then

And Now

Romano's

From Romano’s website:

Carved from the walls and halls of the old Philadelphia Felt building, where the sounds of machinery kept old Frankfordians busy by day, and lulled them to sleep at night, emerged Romano’s Catering. A banquet facility that has become the jewel of Juniata Park, known for its commitment to high quality, integrity and service.
