Zoning affects our property, our community and our City. The Zoning Code is a collection of laws regulating the requirements and use of every parcel located in Philadelphia.
Mayor Nutter has appointed a zoning commission and charged them with the task of streamlining and updating Philadelphia’s Zoning Code.
As part of the public outreach, an on-line survey is available and I strongly urge you to participate by taking the survey.
I agree that something will be changing with zoning in the city and that can be a good thing. This is the first opportunity for the public to provide some input to the process.
Frankford Special Services District annual public meeting

Description-The Frankford Special Services District is holding its annual public meeting on Monday January 12th.

Frankford business owners, residents and workers are invited to attend the meeting and discuss concerns with the board, etc.
I am a huge fan of phillyskyline. Like huge, don’t get me started. Brad Maule has done an incredible job telling the story of Philadelphia through his photo essays. They recently did some excellent work while walking from the Church Street El stop down to the Matt Papajohn’s Globe Dye Works on Torresdale Ave. You can see it here. There’s also a companion piece by Nathaniel Popkin who accompanied Mr Maule on his journey.
If he ever came back, I’d love to see him head west and tackle the Frankford Creek and the mills around Adams Ave. There’s a lot more to Frankford than a trip down Church St and some shots from the El stops, but this was an excellent start.

Maybe I’m wrong but to me this is just another example of this dude’s efforts and attempts to do his freakin job. Should we ask Tony to handle his business by the book? Would Frankford be better off if Tony would’ve just hired his brother or high school buddy? Maybe after that, he can kiss the establishment’s ass and wait in line for his turn at state rep in 20 or 30 years. Then when he gets his act together he’ll be able to start no showing the Friends of Overington Park’s TWO tree planting days like counsel woman Maria Quinones-Sanchez. We’re still waiting on them cookies Maria. I’m still thirsty for that orange juice you said was comin.
TP returns his phone calls and shows his face in Frankford. Duder’s an outsider, he acts like an outsider. That ad really makes it seem like he expects his Chief of Staff to do a day’s work. I like it that way. But it really sucks cause that coulda been a real choice no show job. But I’m still waitin, cause aside from some pettiness over at phillyblog, I haven’t heard a bad thing about this guy. It sucks that a whole lot more decision making for Frankford sits at the municipal level, cause if we had a few more like him at the city level we might be better off.
But we know The Clog is just ragging on Tony for internet filler. We’re doing the same to them. I hate slow news days.
