In an at times contentious meeting of the Frankford Civic Association on April 4th, the membership voted unanimously to oppose the opening of a Crown Fried Chicken at 4731 Griscom St. Turnout was unusually large with some members carrying signed petitions of opposition already circulated and in hand.
The owner’s representative made a presentation to the group for a variance for use of the property for take out service. Although the legal address is on Griscom Street the store would be located in what was formerly Lee’s shoe repair at Oxford and Griscom.
