I live on the 3300 block, just 3 blocks away from Frankford ave.

I can tell you first hand..there is already too much nonsense from the party atmosphere of some bars which only gets worse come warmer weather and I am not just talking about noise...there are brawls, drugs being sold, property being damaged and lots of other things a family neighborhood doesnt need.

I don't know if I entirely agree with you on this one. I'm constantly up on Frankford ave most of the time north of Wellington, as I want to frequent as many places as I can. I'll wander from Harringtons up to SmokeEaters and yeah, dependng on which bar you go into there can be a LITTLE riff raff, but for the most part, everyone is cool. I rarely see a fight though.
I think part of the problem is that we don't have ENOUGH places yet. Once we have the ave set up as THE part spot, THEN we'll have an increased police presense and trouble will be LESS frequent. Right now we'rre kinda in the middle, and the police are still kinda scattered.

New Orleans and Wildwood make most of their money on tourism, We obvisouly arent a tourist destination up here...many bars are very empty in the summer, given a choice, I think the younger set would rather party by the beach instead of in the city

While I agree that Mayfair isn't "THE" tourist destination, I honestly think that can easily change.
My usual hang out is SmokeEaters, and I've seen many many times where there will be a group of firefighters or police officers from different cities that will come to SmokeEaters. Sure, it's because it's a firemans bar and all, but if we had other interresting bars along Frankford ave, I'm sure they'd wander outside of SmokeEaters and tell their friends back home.
It isn't going to happen overnight, but unless we do something QUICK, we're going to loose whay little we have left.
