Crime in Frankford
The latest tale of losers who can’t make a living any other way than with a gun was detailed on NBC10 yesterday. Do him a favor and send him to a nice vocational school along the river. Take a look at the still pictures they are fairly clear. He seems to prefer that little strip mall along Castor Avenue with the Family Dollar and Radio Shack.
From the Northeast Tiems:
A Lower Frankford man identified by police last month as the culprit in a string of armed robberies at local businesses remains on the loose.
Detectives are still seeking the public’s help in locating him.
Earl McIntosh, 19, of the 4600 block of Naples St., is wanted for six hold-ups as well as a burglary.
All seven crimes occurred at stores within blocks of his last known address.
McIntosh has robbed the Radio Shack, at 4501 Castor Ave., three times since Oct. 28; the Family Dollar, at 4334 Frankford Ave., twice; and the Yandel Food Market, at 1362 Unity St., once, police say.
Also, he allegedly broke into the Family Dollar in the same shopping center as the Radio Shack.
Five of the crimes have occurred in broad daylight, between the hours of 12:20 and 2:50 p.m.
Sometimes, McIntosh has used a handgun and other times a shotgun, according to Lt. Mark Burgmann of Northeast Detectives.
In all, the robber has taken over $3,000 in the heists.
No injuries have been reported, but McIntosh is considered armed and dangerous.
He is black, 5 feet 11 inches tall and weighs about 170 pounds. He has black hair, brown eyes and numerous tattoos on his arms, legs, hands and neck. His nickname is Tyrone.
Call 215-686-3153 to report information about the suspect. ••
Crime in Frankford
The details of the shooting last night at Orthodox and Torresdale have been well publicized. The only positive is that the undercover cops were not killed. No thanks to the shooter, he did his best. I posted a new poll over to the right. Take a look and voice your opinion.

We have a new link posted over under Frankford Links. Pennsylvania Environmental Council provides some information on the TOD (Transit Oriented Development) concept.
Frankford home of the week
It’s true that sometimes I do some cropping to frame the image of a house to cut out those on either side. Sometimes I find a gem in the middle of a group that are just ordinary. The homes this week are actually 4 in an entire row that overall is outstanding. There are others in Frankford, to be sure, but these homes on Church Street are the homes of the week.
You always see a theme here. On this cool Fall day it’s Halloween but Christmas will be going up probably in a few weeks now. It’s interesting to see how these four identical row houses have evolved over their lifetimes.
