IMAGINING FRANKFORD: Mural Arts Project at Frankford Historical Society
     Sunday afternoon, January 29th (2012), several dozen true Frankfordians came by the Historical Society of Frankford to share their stories about this area.
People visiting Frankford Historical Society      Muralist Cesar Viveros led each through a series of questions — including “if you only had one word to describe Frankford — what would it be?” Folks rose to the challenge — and an inspiring picture of this area emerged.
For information, contact Netanel Portier, Mural Arts Project Manager, 727-29 Mt Vernon St, Phila, PA 19130, or call 215-685-0725 (office) 856-906-0078 (cell)
