The October Frankford Civic Association meeting took 30 minutes — and that seemed thin.
No zoning and a no-show from state Sen. Christine Tartaglione, who was double-booked, meant conversation was sparse for the not-quite 10 residents in attendance.

The Frankford board did update those present on two topics from last month’s meeting:
- The Frankford Friends grade school was granted city zoning approval for its $1.6 million expansion
- The city’s Department of Licenses and Inspections is investigating the accused recovery home at 1708 Unity St., said Zoning Officer Pete Specos
