Hundreds Greet the Easter Bunny on Frankford Avenue

It was standing room only at Dream Girls (4603 Frankford Avenue) this afternoon.  The weather certainly helped as the skies once again shined brightly down through the El structure.  The crowd was in honor of the Easter Bunny who had agreed to sit for pictures at no charge.  Parents and kids lined up and waited patiently for their turn while the El whizzed by overhead. 

This annual event was sponsored by the Frankford CDC, SPIN (Special People in the Northeast) Frankford, Dream Girls Fashion, the Richardson Group, Frankford Business and Professional Association, Mark My Flesh tattoo and the  Holiday Thriftway supermarket.
