Today, Frankel has an intaglio print, "Players in the Game," in the permanent collection of the Tweed Museum in Duluth, Minnesota. Other paintings of hers hang in...
To the Editor: I’m hoping that this brief email get’s to the correct people in the city government and that it doesn’t fall on deaf ears. As a 16 year resident of Sunset Park, and a business owner, I’ve built my family and business in our lovely city. In particular, I purchased my home on Maple Street because of the beauty and shade the mature ficus trees offered.
