The East Mt. Airy Neighbors define their boarders to the south as Washington Lane, to the east as Stenton Ave., to the West as Germantown Ave and to the North as Cresheim Valley Drive. The West Mt. Airy Neighbors define Mt. Airy as "Mt. Airy stretches from Cresheim Valley Road (northwest) to Wissahickon Gorge (west) to Washington Lane (southeast) to Stenton Avenue (northeast)."
These are the boarders I use when compiling crime reports.

ReplyHey guys, can we please stop posting as Frank Giovannone when we are not in fact the real Frank Giovannone. There have been several comments attributed to Frank saying disparaging things about the community and Baconators. I will not tolerate either. I know a lot of people are fired up about this topic, but let's try to keep it civil or at least not libelous.
Thanks.

ReplyI'm not getting all blustery because Star Thrower's comments aren't liberal/ progressive left-wing. He can say teacher unions are greedy. He can shout it from a mountaintop for all I care. I would just also prefer that he not set the mountaintop on fire with napalm.
Maybe it's my fault for calling him out specifically. I would just prefer it if everyone could turn down the rhetoric a notch or two.

ReplyStar Thrower, your disdain for brick and mortar schools is well established. I think everyone would appreciate it if you didn't lump all teachers together as when you say, "...get rid of brick and mortar schools, and overpaid alcoholics who can't wait for retirement .. or even the end of the school day."
You probably have valid points to make, but labeling a whole group of people as failures based on the actions of one or two members of that group does not help your case. It simply infuriates the other side of your argument.
It is my hope as editor of this site that this space could be used for rational debate, and not simply a forum for two entrenched sides to lobby grenades at one another.

Yes it has to go to a full vote when the budget is voted on next week. I should have put that in the story, but barring any other circumstances BID funding should be restored.
