"Unity is more than just the name of a street in Frankford."

The Northeast Times reports on the closing of Mozaic and the impact it may have on the future on Frankford. Read the entire story here.

Mozaic

Posted on the phillyblog today:

It is with the most indescribable sorrow that I announce mozaic is now closed.
I would like to thank everyone who supported this endeavor from the bottom of my broken heart.

Peace,

Mozaic

The Frankford Gazette is not one to be the first in line for any occasion, so it was about time that we sampled the fare at Mozaic. Tuesday afternoon was a cause for celebration so it was fitting that we decided that no more appropriate place than Mozaic would due.

The verdict: not since the demise of the Griscom House has Frankford seen anything comparable.

We came for luncheon and were not disappointed. We had the Chicken Parmesan and French dip. Ample leftovers for seconds today.

The atmosphere even during a rather dreary, rainy day was fine. The passing scene outside, visible from a window table, was always entertaining.

Try it.

Shortly before 10 a.m. Friday, a 25-year-old man was shot once in the right temple on Saul Street near Oxford in the Frankford section. He remained in critical condition at Hahnemann University Hospital.

Phillyblog at Mozaic

I watch the happenings on Phillyblog daily and have noticed the interest that some of the posters have in the development of Frankford. The Northeast folks occasionally have a meet up where they get together face to face and have decided to make it to Mozaic on August 4th. This is a practical decision but also a show of support from a lot of folks who do not live in Frankford. When you get right down to it, we are all in this together. Cheers to the Phillyblog folks. http://www.phillyblog.com/philly/showthread.php?t=40325
