Flying Kite Media to make its temporary home in Frankford
Flying Kite Media held an advisory meeting Friday morning at the Frankford CDC office on Griscom Street to gather input from neighborhood stakeholders about possible opportunities to report on under-covered stories about Frankford.
The outfit is preparing to take up residence at the former Krass Brothers tuxedo shop at 4674 Frankford Ave. next to the Arrott Transportation Center. It’s the building that currently has a sign for the never opened Jacob’s Ladder Educational Center.
