While visiting on Ogontz Avenue, I stopped into Paul Beale’s Flowers at 7200 Ogontz Avenue. 

They have been a mainstay in the community.  In a recent conversation with Paulette Beale Harris, she told me that they just celebrated 46 years on May 2nd. 

WHAT AN ACCOMPLISHMENT!!

With Mother’s Day right around the corner and proms and graduations waiting in the wings, now is the time to get your floral arrangement orders in.  Call (215) 927-2312. 

To support other Black-owned businesses, visit www.buyblackapp.net and PCOL (Philadelphia Community of Leaders) website at www.philadelphiacommunityofleaders.org. Gary Shepherd is President/CEO of 3rd Floor Media, www.3fm.fm A Division of Gary Shepherd Enterprises LLC.
