Home of the week

Walking down Cheltenham Avenue a few weeks ago I found this very neat and clean row house. What attracted my attention was that the lawn and greenery were so well kept.

The thing that is the bane of a homeowners existence in Frankford is street trash. It does not belong to you. You did not buy that candy at the 7-11 or the cigar either but somehow the papers from them end up on your sidewalk. This conscientious homeowner cleans up the trash in front of his house and probably goes up and down a few doors just to make sure it all looks good.

Overington House

I was reminded about Overington House this afternoon as I passed Lehigh Avenue at Sedgely and saw this billboard. It is the only Frankford business that I have seen advertising this prominently outside of Frankford. It has to be a hefty bill to use a billboard of that size.

East Frankford Civic Meeting with NET

“Representatives from NorthEast Treatment Centers faced a packed room of opposition at the East Frankford Civic Association last week.” This is the report from the Northeast Times.

While our less than scientific poll indicates only about 23% of our readers think this will definitely have a negative impact on life in Frankford, it certainly has a significant political impact that may be more important for our future. It has had a unifying effect that has brought a diverse group of people together to voice their anger at the lack of community consultation related to this transaction. Could this be the line drawn in the sand? Do not cross this line, Frankford has had enough.
