The Quickie Mart at 4346 Frankford Avenue was robbed by two guys with guns at about 2:45 PM at February 7th. The police have good video but so far they have not apprehended any suspects.
The video is good but the robbers must have known that and took precautions to hide their faces. Somebody out there knows who they are. If you recognize them, turn them in to the police. It is only a matter of time before either they hurt somebody and get hurt themselves.

The Mozy Clothing Outlet at 4441 Frankford Avenue had their grand opening last month and I finally took a walk through on Saturday morning. The store is big, neat and clean and fully stocked. Video below of their grand opening day.
They are very active on Facebook so you can have a look over there if you are interested at this link.
Right now this place is the Star of Frankford Avenue. It’s right across the Street from St. Mark’s Church.
