We couldn’t make it to Tuesday’s Northwood Civic Association meeting. But our friends at the Frankford Gazette did — and so did NBC10.

The meeting revolved mostly around 4871 Roosevelt Blvd. Also a focus of previous Northwood and Frankford meetings, the property was purchased by volunteers of America, and Northwood Civic President Barry Howell has made it his mission to see the property is used to benefit the community.
