No It is Not Frankford

The major media in this city seems to be getting worse.

No It is Not Frankford
They do not seem to know the city anymore. Philadelphia has a lot of neighborhoods and to a newcomer, that can be confusing but if you are in the news business, you better know where you are when you do a story. The story below is about a stabbing at Tyson and Frankford Avenues.

Hidden history - Northeast Times
Walking through a stretch of Pennypack Park tucked away between Holmesburg and Frankford avenues, Jason Sherman is devastated to see a forked sycamore tree has been damaged by a fallen trunk. "Someone's gotta fight for those trees," he mutters as we hike back up the slope back to the trail, twigs and rotting leaves crunching under our feet.

Food truck to brick-and-mortar: 4 Philly success stories
The food truck scene in Philadelphia has grown into one of the best aspects of the city. It's become so successful, in fact, that lots of vendors have made the leap and opened storefronts. Differences between a mobile food operation and a brick-and-mortar spot are many, so making the transition can be tough.
