Right NEast/Wrong NEast: Congratulations, Father Judge, on your move to Frankford
Father Judge had a hazmat situation earlier this week. Which means mainstream media just discovered the school and tried to figure out what neighborhood it’s in.
That’d be Holmesburg. You know, where there are Holmesburg flags flying from telephone poles.

At least our expectations were met.
Outside media don’t care about the Northeast. We have all seen them misuse, misspell and mistake our neighborhoods and our streets, so we at NEast Philly wanted to do something about it. When they get it wrong, we set it right in a segment we like to call Right NEast/Wrong NEast.
