The sole man of Frankford is what the Northeast Times called him a couple of weeks ago. Sorry I didn’t get time to link to the story until now. For those of us who grew up when the was a shoe repair guy in every neighborhood, this is sort of nostalgia.
Gene Oliveti has been mending footwear at Lou’s Shoe Repair in Frankford since a few months after graduating from Lincoln High School in 1977.
