WHAT YOU BELIEVE, YOU BELIEVE
WHAT YOU BELIEVE, YOU BELIEVE
If you believe the world is flat, I’m cool with that.
If you believe money grows on trees, I’m cool with that.
If you believe the moon is made of Swiss cheese, I’m cool with that.
I don’t think I’ve been put on this Earth to be unkind,
To think what is yours and what is mine.
All the changes that we go through, Listen my sister and my brother,
You can’t change me and I can’t change you.
So the bottom line, blue is blue. So let’s get it together and agree,
I can’t change you and you can’t change me.
Let’s not stress over what should and should not be,
I can’t change you and you can’t change me.
But this one thing we must agree. blue is blue and money don’t grow on trees, and I’m cool with that. Can we agree?

2020 FLU
2020 FLU
People always say what’s good for me is good for you,
But that’s not always true.
Because what’s good for me may not be good for you.
Let’s talk about this thing they call the flu,
it’s not good for me and it’s not good for you.
It keeps people out of work, and children out of school.
So don’t run around thinking that you’re cool,
That you will not be able to catch this thing they call the 2020 flu.
It won’t be good for me, and it won’t be good for you.

Historical Sites of Frankford in Philadelphia
Looking for something new while waiting for COVID-19 to go away?
Come sail with The Captain as he walks Rick The Puppy through the streets of Frankford. The Captain made a few friends who are in The Frankford Historical Society. They told him some stories that he could not believe he never knew before. They told him about how important Frankford Ave and who used to travel on it. The Captain learned about the term “The Frankford Advice” and the important location that advice was given in. He sees a graveyard older than the United States and so much more.
Church Street Closing from Tacony to Aramingo Avenue
PennDOT to Resume Construction on Aramingo Avenue at I-95 Interchange
in Philadelphia
Church Street to close Wednesday for two weeks for intersection work
April 11, 2020 – Construction operations will resume on Monday, April 13, on Aramingo Avenue at the Interstate 95 Betsy Ross Bridge Interchange in Philadelphia, including work to complete the northbound side of the new bridge over Frankford Creek and implementation of a short-term detour of Church Street for improvements at intersection with Aramingo Avenue, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today.
Normal highway and bridge construction projects in Pennsylvania remain paused as part of the commonwealth’s efforts to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. This project is part of critical work that continues statewide addressing safety needs and work needed to eliminate roadway restrictions that could impede the ability for the movement of life sustaining goods and services.
With the resumption of work, crews will complete construction of the pier and abutments for the northbound side of the Frankford Creek bridge in preparation for setting deck beams and beginning deck construction on the northbound side later this spring. Construction is also underway on sections of several Aramingo Avenue ramps to and from the bridge and I-95 and the reconstruction of the northbound side of Aramingo Avenue between Wheatsheaf Lane and the ramps to I-95 and the bridge.
Beginning Wednesday, April 15, Church Street will be closed to through traffic for approximately two weeks between Tacony Street and Aramingo Avenue for reconstruction of the Church Street/Aramingo Avenue intersection.
During the closure, eastbound Church Street traffic will be detoured north on Tacony Street to Aramingo Avenue. Aramingo Avenue traffic headed for Church Street will be detoured north on Aramingo Avenue and a left on Torresdale Avenue.
Aramingo Avenue work-area traffic is limited to two lanes southbound and one lane northbound at the Frankford Creek bridge. No additional travel restrictions are planned at this time.
The work is part of PennDOT’s $81 million project to reconstruct and extend Adams Avenue from Torresdale Avenue to Aramingo Avenue and widen Aramingo Avenue in the vicinity of the Interstate 95/Betsy Ross Bridge Interchange to improve access to I-95 and the bridge.
