Frankford Civic Association Meeting

1522-24 Church St.

I couldn’t attend the Frankford Civic Association meeting Thursday night but it is a pleasure to link you to the NEastPhilly.com report of what transpired.  Go there and read it and then come back here.

The issue of 1522-24 Church Street was again on the table and it is apparent that nobody in the city government is going to do anything about this problem until a few hundred people storm City Hall.  Should be no surprise that the owner of this property has some past or present Philly government connections.  “Business Continuity Analysis at Philadelphia Gas Works”  or “City of Philadelphia – Project Manager COOP IT”.  We are on our own folks.
