Some much for that resolution...

Well, dear readers it seems I broke one resolution this year. That would be writing more often on this blog...well, hopefully, we'll get back on that horse. Anyway, the winter doldrums seem to be lifting as evidenced in this week's edition.
This on the home front, Bernard J. Scally, was officially promoted to Assistant Editor this week. Seems there is also a open position for a reporter as well. We'll see how that goes.

But on the story front, tonight, Imagine Philadelphia, will talk about how the city will look 20 years hence? What do you think?

Julian says Merry Christmas...

To all our Eastern Orthodox brethren, we say Happy Christmas.
And what a treat we have for the city of Philadelphia. It is inauguration day with former Councilman Michael Nutter being sworn in this morning at the Academy of Music. Nutter served the Fourth Councilmanic District which includes Manayunk and Roxborough. Nutter fought a hard primary campaign against a number of high profile candidates, then cruised to victory last November.
Tomorrow, Mayor Nutter will be greeting the public at City Hall. He will also take the opportunity to feed his enemies to the Rancor as well.
Good Luck Michael and see you tomorrow. For now, let's see what you've won.

Moving Mural...


Workmen from Roxborough Memorial Hospital and Executives from Citizens Bank were on hand to facilitate the move of the well-known Garner Mural that hung in the old Roxborough-Manayunk Savings and Loan Building at Ridge and Lyceum Aves. The mural hung in the building for 49 years. The mural is being moved to Roxborough Memorial Hospital.
