Murder in Frankford

Number 12 for this year, from the Daily News:

A young man was shot in the back and in the back of the head in Northeast Philadelphia last night. Homicide Lt. Philip Riehl said the unidentified victim was gunned down on Cottage Street near Wakeling at 7:33 p.m. The victim, who appeared to be in his late teens or early 20s, died shortly after at Frankford Hospital-Torresdale, Riehl said. Two men who were spotted near the crime scene were brought in for questioning, but no charges had been filed against either. Anyone with information about the crime can call 215-696-3334 or -3335.

Frankford Community Message Board

After months of tinkering and pondering we are happy to point you to the new Frankford Community Message Board.  It is hosted on yuku.com and you will need to register to post but it is free and a good place to experiment with this format.  Why do we need this.  Well because we do get comments and as time has gone by the comments have become more frequent and more interesting.  This is one way to express your opinions at get something back.

We get over a thousand folks through here every month and yet only a few of us get to say anything.  The only condition is that we all make believe we are standing around together face to face.  Don’t say anything that you would not say in person.

The link is up on the quick links list.  Take a look.

    Description– 10 am till we finish!!! Decorating for the annual FGM Holiday Dinner – Table arrangements and Swags We will start work at 10 AM, refreshments will be on hand, but of course feel free to bring your own favorite recipe to add to the table! Please feel free to bring a friend, neighbor or family member to help out- there is lots to do! And if you have any evergreens that need pruning, bring those branches in to add to the pile. I will be using some of our Garden Club funds to purchase hand pruners, but please, bring your pruners as well, if you have a pair. And you might want to wear gloves- it gets pretty sappy and prickly working with holly and pines. Looking forward to seeing you all, and to getting in some seasonal cheer.
