Streetscape improvements

The first stage of some improvements to the Frankford Avenue environs has been made.  The planters are finally on the avenue and today were filled with flowers by the Frankford Special Services District.  The locations of the planters are in front of 3rd Federal, Friends Lounge (4524 Frankford Avenue), and the Health Center.

The Welcome to FKD Banners are complete and will be installed in the next two weeks. The furniture installer received the new trash receptacles this week as well and is expecting to install them shortly. This was all made possible by the Re- Store grant from the City while Dan Savage was serving as Councilman.

New bookstore in Frankford

I was in Borders up in langhorne Saturday night shopping for books.  The number of bookstores in our area are few.  I was browing the local history section as I always do and came to the Arcadia edition on Frankford by the Historical Society of Frankford.  I already own that book but then it occurred to me that it makes sense to make it available to our readers.

So when I got home I went to Amazon.com and in a few minutes set up the associate account that let’s us offer books for sale by amazon.com though the Frankford Gazette.  We have a few of our favorite titles linked on the book store page under Quick Links on the top left side of the page.

So if you find anything you like order it through our links and we make a commision.  It will go toward our domain name and hosting charges.  Keep your business in the neighborhood.

“Peace to all who enter”

This is the phrase that greeted those who entered “Mozaic” and it will continue to greet those who visit “Friends”.  Diane Prokop of the Northest Times takes a look at what is heading our way on the Avenue.   Read the entire story here.

The Frankford spirit

The lead, front page story in the Northeast Times this week is Frankford.  Jon Campisi gives us a once over and comes up with a balanced view of what is going on along the Avenue.  It’s business, with its ups and downs and it’s Frankford. 

The businesses that are covered are good examples of what works.  Now how, with the assets we have in this community, can we attract more businesses.  People don’t want to have to drive with gas at $4.xx per gallan if they don’t have to.  The walkable community is here waiting to be discovered. 

The next great neighborhood in the next great city.
