High Hopes plays, crowds fill Frankford and Cottman

Inquirer staff writer Allison Steele reports:

The air on Frankford and Cottman ave was smoky from fireworks being launched into the air.

A police helicopter hovered overhead and the crowd poured out onto the street as the sound of the song "High Hopes" flooded out from the bars.

A man marched down the center of Frankford Avenue, waving a large Phillies flag like a soldier in a parade. Women danced in the street outside the bars, screaming and hugging.

85-year-old Betty Taylor marched down Frankford avenue, crashing two pot lids together in celebration.

"I don't believe it!" She said. "I love it! I love all this excitement. I've been a Phillies fan my whole life."

No one cares about Frankford and Cottman. Just a bunch of unemployed drunks.
