Frankford home of the week

Also down on the 1600 block of Harrison Street is a unique and at the same time disadvantaged property.  It is an old victorian converted to apartments but the owners have maintained it beautifully all these years.  I was looking for an apartment back in 1970 and looked there but they didn’t have anything in my price range.  It is still a great looking building today.

See our slideshow of all the homes of the week here.

Report on last week’s Northwood Civic meeting

From Tom Waring at the Northeast Times:

City Councilman Bill Green was happy to hear that one of his aides, Scott Mulvey, had helped the Northwood Civic Association solve a neighborhood problem.  Mulvey, who worked for former Councilman Dan Savage before joining Green’s staff in January, made arrangements to stop sewer water from overflowing and going into the garage of an Adams Avenue resident.  The civic group had tried to work with the office of Councilman Darrell Clarke for two years to no avail.  While Green (D-at large) is glad to provide constituent service, he prefers to tackle larger issues.
