City Year

I recently had a comment on our community calendar from Alesha at City Year. Since it could be easily missed I am going to post it here.

Hello! My name is Alesha and I currently work for a non-profit organization called city year. We provide academic support to 24 schools in the Philadelphia area and are established in 18 cities. My team and I are currently doing our service in the Frankford high school located on Oxford ave. We will be honoring some members of the community next year who have provided an outstanding service to the community and we need some assistance in locating these people. If anyone that reads this or knows of any persons in the frankford area that have performed great civic duties or are an extreme asset to the community please contact me. My e-mail a21lesh@aol.com my phone number is (215) 939-8917 I appreciate this very much thank you.

If you would like more information or would like to suggest some worthy individual call or email Alesha.

Murder in Frankford Sunday morning

From philly.com today:

He was pronounced dead at Frankford-Torresdale Hospital at 5:30 a.m.

Detectives were interviewing a possible suspect, but no charges had been filed, said Homicide Sgt. Ron McClane.

Mozaic

The Frankford Gazette is not one to be the first in line for any occasion, so it was about time that we sampled the fare at Mozaic. Tuesday afternoon was a cause for celebration so it was fitting that we decided that no more appropriate place than Mozaic would due.

The verdict: not since the demise of the Griscom House has Frankford seen anything comparable.

We came for luncheon and were not disappointed. We had the Chicken Parmesan and French dip. Ample leftovers for seconds today.

The atmosphere even during a rather dreary, rainy day was fine. The passing scene outside, visible from a window table, was always entertaining.

Try it.
