Used to be a good neighborhood the 80s. Mostly Irish and Polish.

Yep! It’s awful! If Kensington were to gentrify. Frankford would be even worse and it’s already terrible.

>The Frankford Slasher is the name given by the media to a possible serial killer who operated in and around the neighborhood of Frankford in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania from 1985 to 1990. Leonard Christopher was convicted in the murder of one of the nine supposedly linked victims, but the others remain unsolved. All the victims were sexually assaulted and stabbed to death. Several of the victims were seen with a middle-aged white man shortly before their deaths.

Video shows what looks to be a woman getting out of the same car as the two suspects before they try to shove her into the back seat. They were all in the same car together and all walk through the same gate. I’m confused as to how they seemed to have known each other yet the suspects are not identified? Maybe I’m not imaginative enough.

Why do you hate people that like Center City, but not people who broadly hate Philly as a whole? And FFS I go to plenty of other places. I saw you quote me earlier… saying a neighborhood isn’t good with the context of a CRIME DISCUSSION is not the same as dismissing its historical significance, or saying the people there don’t matter. Have this attitude toward people who hate and exaggerate, not people who like it here.
Idk how many major cities you’ve lived in but I’ve lived in quite a few. All of your assumptions just make you sound like someone with an extremely insular mentality.

Businessman allegedly carrying 60k in a briefcase. I doubt this was random.

No info on the victim? It would be nice to know if it was a male or female, child or adult, and if it’s suspected to be random or not.
Frankford seems to be in the running for the city’s worst neighborhood, I wouldn’t walk there at 2am
