Home of the week

A few weeks back I was riding down Hawthorne Street and found this group of homes in the 4700 block that are all neat and well maintained. It's clean and tidy and impossible to say one of them is better than another so they are the homes of the week.

The crime log

Well you have to credit the Northeast Times for getting this information out. And the police for deciding to let it get out. It's our right to know and it should be available on the city web site every week. Now can somebody please tell me why the will not report sexual assaults. it might actually help prevent future assaults if potential victims knew when and where predators are lurking.

This is a link to the entire article in the Northeast Times.

This is our value added to the information. Follow this link to the Frankford Gazette crime map.
