Art Holiday

Trying to scope out some more information on the Art holiday transaction, we Googled the location listed on the BRT site for the owner.  6103 5th Avenue in Brooklyn is listed as the address for Compu City, a computer sales and service company.  The web site is basic and not very functional.  The business telephone is active.  The New  York department of state has no record of a corporation by that name.  This may mean nothing or it might mean a real business is coming to Kensingtin Avenue.

Frankford Civic Association

Jon Campisi of the Northeast Times reports on last weeks meeting. 

Members of the Frankford Civic Association, who have opposed the recent influx of drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities in the neighborhood, addressed a member of Mayor Michael Nutter’s staff at their meeting last week, attempting to seek resolution to the issue.
Roland Lamb, director of the Office of Addiction Services in the Department of Behavioral Health & Mental Retardation Services, sought to dispel some of the myths tied to these types of facilities, although he also told the group he could relate to their concerns over quality of life.

Rehab centers is a subject of interest to everyone.  Read the story here.

Art Holiday

Part of the story about the Art Holiday has now emerged thanks to a tip from a reader.  The BRT web site shows it was sold on April 28th of this year to Eaglehead Realty Inc. a Pennsylvania corporation established in the same month.  The mailing address for the owner is Brooklyn New York.  The link to the BRT record is here.  Several Properties along Frankford Avenue are now in the hands of New Yorkers.  They know a bargain when they see one.

The unanswered question is what use do the new owners plan for this key building in the community.
