There seems to be an unusual spurt of construction underway in Frankford. I took a tour yesterday to take some pictures.
Not documented here but it looks to be under construction at the site of the new location for the Bridge at 1100 Adams Avenue.
Northwood Academy Charter School at 4621 Castor Avenue is well underway.
The kids down at Frankford Friends (Orthodox and Leiper Streets) are cranking out another great video promoting, of all things, Frankford Friends School. As one of our premier cultural, historic and educational institutions, I think everybody should see it. Here you go.

John Loftus, in the Northeast Times, reports on the upcoming construction of the new building. Read all about it here.

Frankford Friends had their annual Spring Fair last Saturday, may 14th. The weather looked threatening but the rain held off until the festivities were pretty much over. The Fair is a very family friendly event as you can see from the video. In addition, there was the ceremonial groundbreaking for the new school building as only the Friends will do it. Nearly everybody got to throw a spade of hard earth to symbolically start the construction. I trimmed the video for length so it is only a little over four minutes long.
Once again, Frankford Friends School are finalists in the Bridge Film Festival. You can see their entry here.
