I just took another look at the stills we took at Pete Specos house on Sunday. Here they are but they don’t do it justice. Take a ride down the 4200 block of Orchard Street to see it in person and with music too.

Pete Specos clearly has the best display in Frankford this year. You should not miss the opportunity to take a ride down the 4200 block of Orchard Street to check it out. The video below does not do it justice.

Mastery Charter Smedley Elementary School
Pete Specos noted at the last Frankford Civic meeting that the zoning had been approved for the Smedley addition. I went by there yesterday and found the construction well underway.
As you can see the empty space within the outside walls at the back is being filled in with the gymnasium and new classrooms. Other improvements will be an elevator and air conditioning as well as a much needed electrical upgrade to the building.
Gun Buy Back
The 15th District PDAC (Police District Advisory Council) along with Shop Rite of Frankford is sponsoring a gun buy back on Saturday May 7th at the Second Baptist Church at Meadow and Mulberry Streets. The last one brought in close to 50 guns which is great. Below is Pete Specos talking about the event.
PSA 1 Meeting
Attendance was a bit low last night at the PSA meeting but there was a lot to discuss regardless.
Pete Specos of 15th district PDAC (Police District Advisory Council) announced that there would be another gun buy back on May 7th at the Second Baptist Church at Mulberry and Meadow Streets. The last event was very successful with about 50 guns taken in. The offer incentive is a $50 Shop Rite gift certificate per gun or family. The event will run from 10AM till 2PM.
The PDAC will have its annual community day coinciding with the Mayfair Fair Day on May 14th from 10AM till 2PM. The PDAC will be set up on the 3500 block of Ryan Avenue, just off Frankford Avenue. Refreshments, exhibits and fun stuff for the kids all available.
Lt. Casselli, PSA Area 1
Lt. Casselli noted that thefts from autos are down since the beginning of the year which coincides with the campaign to make people in the area aware of the risks of leaving cars unlocked and with clues that valuables like gps or ipods might be within. Arrests were made and that was good news.
Further discussion of specific crime areas and strategies followed.
The next meeting is tentatively scheduled for May 24th. You can check the schedule at the 15th districts web site community meeting listing.
