Tony J. Payton Jr. has been re-nominated as the Democratic nominee to the State House District 179th seat. He held off a challenge by Guy Lewis winning 61% of the vote in last night’s primary election.
Another shooting not in Frankford
The story on NBC10.com today of the shooting of a man at the Winning Edge car wash in the 3700 block of Frankford Aveney noted that it was in Frankford. It has been fruitless to email them when they make this kind of error so I will just post it here. No, it’s not in Frankford. It makes no difference to NBC10 but it does to us.
It does make me wonder how good their reporting of other stories can be when they can’t get these simple things right.
