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.

Construction of the PowderMill project is moving along on Wingohocking Street. Cayuga Street homes are finished on the exterior. Houses along the street connecting Cayuga and Wingohocking are now framed out.

Art Holiday

I went by the Art Holiday last week on two different days and there was some activity going on inside.  At least that appeared to be the case since the security door was up on both days.  No record of a sale on the BRT site yet so maybe this is just routine maintenance to keep it from falling down.

Frankford Business and Professional Association

Jon Campisi, of the Northeast Times, reports this week on the most recent meeting of the Frankford Business and Professional Association.  The subject of the revitalization of the business corridor was discussed extensively. 

The group discussed using ideas in a report by the Urban land Institure (Ten Principles for Rebuilding Neighborhood Retail) as a starting point.  While it may seem like we have been down this road before, this is a new group of people very focussed on success.  Do not fall into that old comfortable cynicism that makes it easier to sit back and do nothing. 

Read the entire article from the Northeast Times here and also the report by the Urban Land Institute here.
