Frankford Home of the Week
I found this one a few weeks ago on Duffield Street. There is a nice little garden in front and the sidewalk is spotless.
Home of the week
I pass this nice house walking to the post office. It’s on Kinsey Street and you would not usually notice it unless you are on foot. It’s always well kept in an area close to Frankford Avenue which would usually attract a lot of street debris.
Future of Frankford
This is a link to the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission document entitled Frankford Avenue Corridor Transit Oriented Development Plan. It is long and I haven’t read all of it but when you add this to the Frankford Greenway plan you can get a feel for what some people think Frankford will look like in the future. You can expect the next issue of the rezoning of the city will incorporate the concepts laid out in these plans.
Dog fighting update
From the Daily news:
2 men in Northeast accused of running dogfight operation
Two local men have been arrested for running a dog-fighting operation out of a home in the Lower Northeast. Police said they found 18 injured dogs – including one that had to be euthanized – at a property on Adams Avenue near Wingohocking Street on Oct. 6.
Police also found training supplies and material for a dogfighting ring. Bryant Page, 30, and Terrence Hayward, 33, were both charged with cruelty to animals and related offenses, police said.
