    Good work! The missing plaque in Womrath Park was installed in 1931 to commemorate the founding of the first building and loan society in America in a tavern there in 1831. There's a lot to be done. Frankford deserves to have its history respected!

    The back of the Empire Motors building is the top of the first saving and loan building and still visible.

      The info on this is wrong. The parking lot of the porno theater is where Jefferson was on the 4th of July. I have to make a follow up on this and forgot thanks for reminding me. You must be in a bizarre rabbit hole watching my dopey videos. Lol

    I worked at Domestic Uniform as a route driver near that park, I saw that house you mentioned all of the time and had no idea the historical significance.

      Dylan..... we are way past that stage. Nobody wants my autograph I'm just a guy from Bridesburg. Handshakes or hugs even pictures. I don't even have an autograph. Is TH-cam like wrestling? Do i sign Jon or The Captain or The Philly Captain? I have to mailout my first patreon post cards the first of the month. I will have to decide by the 1st what my autograph is. Man talk about pressure.

    Terrible that a piece of history such as that is wasting away. No marker, graffiti....God.
