Frankford. I hadn't been to the Frankford station in two years, so was surprised to see how dark it was today. It turned out three out of five businesses at this station had been shut down. Gourmet Station, Station Cafe and Flowers to Go are no more. Only Philly Pretzel Factory and Metro Convenience remain. Hundreds of thousands of people pass through this location daily, as it is one of the main transit points in Philly. Across the street, the Liberty Bell Cafe advertises a $1.99 breakfast special, and Nothing Over Budget, a discount variety store, has this notice, "No dope dealers. Keep Out."
