I have lived in Frankfort Square my whole life, it's always been a safe neighborhood, everyone is so friendly. We have nice Community things like parks, roads, sports fields, and schools. I wish to see activities set out by the community to bring us all together, for everyone to know each other well and to see more kids outside playing.
