Live talking Comcast-Spectacor trims the size of its latest entertainment project, eyes 2012 opening. By Joseph Myers r e v i e w s ta f f w r i t e r

f good things truly come to those who wait, entertainment enthusiasts in South Philadelphia will become supreme revelers in 2012. It’s the targeted date Comcast-Spectacor and the Baltimore-based Cordish Co. hope to have the newly proposed phase one of the much-hyped Philly Live! entertainment district completed. Dating back to January ’08, developers had envisioned a 350,000-square-foot wonder — stretching from the Wachovia Center, 3601 S. Broad St., to where the now-shuttered See PHILLY LIVE! page 8

Not tolerating it To the Editor: What kind of message are the Boy Scouts, as well as the homophobic jurists, (who decided it’s OK for the scouts to continue their discrimination towards the gay community) sending to the children of our community? I’ll tell you. It’s OK to exclude members of our society if they are different, even if they are children. I still can’t understand why. Is it because they believe they will “turn gay” if they spend time with them? Are they under the belief that being gay is contagious? It makes me sick that this so-called society of ours, still tolerates intolerance. I think if people stopped worrying about what other people do and tend to their own affairs, we might eventually advance as human beings. But the Boy Scouts are insuring that the next generation is being brainwashed with hatred and intolerance against

those who differ from themselves. I remember reading something in history class about this issue. It began around 1939 and ended in ’45. Apparently, the U.S. has learned nothing from that evil. A great man once said: “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, (let’s add religious beliefs, and sexual orientation. I’m sure he wouldn’t mind), but by the content of their character.” Anyone who tolerates intolerance does not deserve to be considered a human being, let alone an American. Hopefully, another ’45 is just around the corner, because these hateful people who claim they are Americans, yet hate Americans, needs to be purged. Chris Doyle South Philadelphia

A long, hot summer To the Editor: As City Council is enjoying their 75-day taxpayers paid vacation, which is undeserving, we may add. We have to wonder, what off-thewall, double talk they will throw at us when they come back. Will they tell us that by removing the Sheriff’s Department, the City will save millions of taxpayers’ dollars a year? But where will all that savings go? To us? Don’t hold your breath. Those dollars may be used on a new DROP program for funds of friends of friends. Or for the mayor to hire more deputy mayors to count the pigeon population around City Hall. Where did those $7.1 million collected by tax amnesty program go? Did that money go towards the City’s budget? After all, the City didn’t have that money before the budget was announced. What about the $30 million more dollars the mayor expects the City to receive from the program? Should this money be used to keep firehouses open for the people’s sake, or keep the police department from laying off police officers? We think so. The mayor may use this summer to go on a rampage of directing us to sacrifice more. Yet, he hires nonessential personnel to positions that hold no true value towards us, at a cost to us.

Since the Mayor has lost all responsibility, as a leader, he has taken a new course of action: Control. By bypassing the guidelines set forth upon his position, by the peoples charter, he no longer has to represent the people by the demands of the charter, thereby relieving himself of the pressure brought on by the charter. Rules that he should be following within this democracy. The people know this city is in financial disorder, they won’t argue that point. But what the people want is fairness and honesty, which they aren’t receiving. We don’t need someone crying poverty in one hand and writing out checks, that is taxpayers’ money with the other. We don’t need people driving city-owned cars, while hundreds of people can’t afford a bus fare. We don’t need people lying under the sun for 75 days while thousands are struggling to put food on the table. We know politics takes care of politico and right now we are getting a clear view of one taking care of the other. Who’s to blame? We are of course, after all we put them there. Yes people, it will be a long, hot summer, but not full of hope, of course. Remember those in City Hall can turn on you at a blink of an eye.

he person that coined the phrase ‘free is for me,’ probably never attended a concert that was on the house. Last week, my 11-year-old daughter and I happened to be in the vicinity of the South Street Seaport, when Drake appeared for a show open to the public. More than 10,000 fans crammed the area and perhaps a five-figure fan count doesn’t sound like a big deal in a city as massive as Manhattan but an impact can be made, especially if fans get disruptive, which is how Drake fans could be described. So a few days ago, it came as no surprise that New York City halted a Jay Z-Eminem performance on the marquee of the Ed Sullivan Theater for ‘The Late Show

with David Letterman.’ The tandem performed on the roof of the building, which is fine since it’s private property and only 100 fans could attend. If the hip-hop icons performed on the marquee along Broadway, such a show could have caused mayhem on the streets. Sometimes the Fourth of July shows in the Art Museum area get out of hand. Sure, sometimes folks get, along but sometimes chaos ensues. It often doesn’t matter who the performer is when things get out of hand. I remember the Beach Boys, one of poprock’s most innocuous acts, playing a July 4 show a quarter century ago. I witnessed a mother standing on a plastic chair with a toddler in her arms. An obviously drugaddled guy grabbed the seat out from under her as she and child hit the ground. The swarthy guy proceeded to tackle a tween and then tried to strangle him. Within moments four guys punched and kicked the guy and he released ... SPR

ames Cameron, 18, of the 2300 block of South 22nd Street, was believed to have been arguing with his sister at their Girard Estate home, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. His 47-year-old mother told the girl to call police, but Cameron allegedly broke the phone before she could. Cameron then allegedly punched a glass door of a china cabinet with his left hand and ran after his 55-year-old stepfather with a piece of glass. His mother broke up the fight and ordered her husband upstairs, but the teen followed. Cameron allegedly walked into the man’s second-floor bedroom at 11:05 p.m. and jabbed him with the glass cutting his left side before the stepfather fled the home, Tolliver said. The stepfather was transported to Methodist Hospital, treated for a puncture wound to his left side and a cut to his right wrist and released, Tolliver said. Cameron was arrested shortly after two blocks away on the 2100 block of South Beechwood Street and transported to Methodist where he received three stitches on his left forearm and hand, Tolliver said. Cameron was charged with aggravated assault, simple assault, possession of an instrument of crime, recklessly endangering another person, terroristic threats and criminal mischief.

Stormy day at the ballpark A tree crushed two fans as they were walking to the parking lot during last Thursday’s rain delay of the Phillies/Indians game. A 50-year-old man from Phoenixville and a 52-year-old woman from Aston left the game around 3:35 p.m. June 24, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. While they were walking westbound along the north side of the 1600 block of Pattison Avenue, gusts of winds knocked off a large section of a tree, which landed on the fence near the NovaCare Complex pinning the man underneath it. The woman attempted to free him, but was struck by more falling branches. The man was transported to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital for head trauma while the woman was treated for

a broken arm and neck injury at Methodist Hospital, Tolliver said.

Attacked by her ex A man assaulted his ex-girlfriend and her teenage son in their Point Breeze home after an argument with the ex, who he was staying with for the weekend. The 37-year-old woman and her ex — Charles Purvis, 28, of the 5700 block of Winsor Avenue in Southwest Philly — were arguing in her bedroom of her home on the 2300 block of South Hemberger Street at 11:35 p.m. Sunday when he allegedly punched her in the chest multiple times, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The woman ran downstairs to the kitchen to retrieve a knife for protection. Purvis is believed to have chased her until her 15-year-old son stepped in. Purvis allegedly struck the teen with his fists multiple times to his face and body and charged toward the woman, who stabbed him in the upper back as he ran toward her. She then ran outside to meet police, but he allegedly ran after her and punched her in the face in front of the officers, Tolliver said. The officers were unable to control the man, so an officer subdued him with a Taser. Purvis was transported to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. The woman was unharmed. Purvis was charged with simple assault and recklessly endangering another person.

Unwelcomed visitor A Packer Park woman was awakened Sunday to an intruder in her home who escaped with three cell phones. A 58-year-old woman saw an unknown man standing over her in her second-floor bedroom when she woke up at 4:02 a.m., Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The man fled and she called police before noticing her dining room window was forced open and front and rear doors were unlocked and opened as well. The dwelling had been ransacked and three cell phones and a small television were reported missing. However, police located the TV in the driveway after arriving. The burglar was described as white, in his 20s, thin, blonde and wearing a black T-shirt.

Police Report To report information, call South Detectives at 215-686-3013.

Playground troubles Three of the six teens who struck a boy and robbed him of his cell phone at a Whitman playground were apprehended Saturday. A group of six juvenile boys surrounded a 9-year-old at Burke Playground on the 200 block of Jackson Street at 3:20 p.m., Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The teens yelled at him prior to slapping and punching the victim who tried to escape, but the teens had him surrounded. A 12-year-old from the 500 block of McClellan Street allegedly punched him in the side of his face while a 14-year-old, of the same block allegedly grabbed his cell phone. The group fled the playground. Police stopped a group of boys on the 200 block of Reed Street at 4:15 p.m. and three — the 12- and 14-year-old along with a 13-year-old from Willingboro, N.J. — were arrested and charged with robbery, theft, unlawful restraint, false imprisonment, simple assault and related offenses. The 14-year-old turned the phone over to police and it was returned to the boy, Tolliver said.

Purse snatching

Burglar caught

Two teens fled after mugging another teen of $5 in Point Breeze early Sunday. The 15-year-old walked to get Chinese food at Dy Express, 1700 S. 20th St., but two teens started to follow him when he arrived at 20th and Mountain streets at 1:50 a.m., Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. One of the teens put his arm around him and said, “give me your money, young bull.” When he refused the other teen cut his left arm with a box cutter. The teen handed over $5 and the duo fled running east on Mountain, Tolliver said. The teens were described as black with a medium complexion, age 16 to 17 and thin. The first suspect was described as 5-foot6 to 5-foot-7, clean-shaven and wearing a white polo shirt and black Adidas pants with stripes on each side. The second was described as 5-foot-10 to 5-foot-11, with a thin beard and wearing a white T-shirt, blue pants and black track sneakers. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-686-3013.

Early morning request A man was fast asleep when two armed men approached him inside his home requesting money and drugs early Friday. The 34-year-old was awoken at 12:47 a.m. by the duo, who searched the home on the 2800 block of Winton Street after making the request, but left empty handed, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. There were no signs of forced entry into the residence. One of the men was described as black with a dark complexion, in his 20s 5-foot8, stocky, with a full beard, wearing green cargo shorts and armed with a silver handgun while the other man was described as black with a medium complexion, in his 20s 5-foot-10, stocky, with a beard and armed with a black handgun.

A woman’s pocketbook was taken at gunpoint in the South of South neighborhood as she walked home Sunday night. Four men walked up to a 24-year-old near 20th and Bainbridge streets, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. One pointed a gun at her while the other grabbed her purse, which contained her cell phone, identification, passport and $45, Tolliver said. The men instructed her to run, so she sprinted toward 20th before heading north to South Street where she asked an unknown group of people to call the police. The suspects were described as black with dark complexions, age 16 to 20, 5foot-10 to 6 foot and medium builds. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-686-3013.

and out the front door, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The younger roommate noticed that a silver iPod, a yellow necklace, a cell phone and $300 was missing from the room. The 38-year-old identified Scott Warrington, 24, of the 2000 block of Snyder Avenue, from a photo array as the perpetrator. Warrington was arrested on the 800 block of Wharton Street at 11:40 p.m. Friday and charged with two counts of burglary, criminal trespassing and theft — unlawful taking and receiving stolen property.

PHILLY LIVE! continued from page 1 Wachovia Spectrum sits — offering preand post-game options for sports fanatics, quality cuisine for gastronomes and standout wardrobe selections for clothing connoisseurs. In separate interviews with the Review last week, the business behemoths confirmed that economic troubles have necessitated a reconsideration of the project’s size and construction. “Phase one will start with an approximately 40,000-square-foot marketplace featuring the best of Philly foods in a broad main concourse and meeting area, surrounded by up to four distinct dining and entertainment venues,” Jeffrey M. Snyder, who is overseeing the Philadelphia project for Cordish, said. The venture has yet to yield any commitments, but Snyder is not panicking. “It is too early to tell how many independent tenants will be added to the phase one marketplace. Interest from excellent tenants has been extremely strong,” he said. According to published reports, the proposed building would be square-shaped and occupy parts of 11th Street and Pattison Avenue. An architectural rendering of a scaled-down Philly Live! has yet to be presented to the City Planning Commission. The number of potential phases and the initial cost remain unknown, but Comcast-Spectacor spokesman Ike Richman noted his company’s confidence has not diminished. “We are very excited for the project and can’t wait for it to begin,” Richman said.

HOPING TO ADD retail and dining options to a stadium-heavy tract, Comcast-Spectacor and Cordish unveiled plans for the entertainment district at a January ’08 press conference. Last July, the Cordish Co., presented its proposed Philly Live! plans to the City Planning Commission. The concept included an assortment of restaurants with outdoor seating, a hotel along Pattison Avenue where the Spectrum still sits, as well as a spa or health club. More than 300 nights a year, the sports complex — also home to the Flyers, Sixers, Eagles and Phillies — is entertainment central for concerts, games and family shows. “The Philly Live! project would give people more options for shopping and dining. With this building, they would be able to come early and stay later,” Richman said. First, however, the Spectrum, which debuted in September 1967, must go. Comcast-Spectacor Chairman Ed Snider has said in published reports that the Spectrum will be gone within the next few months, a relative time period that has stalled the Philly Live! project’s structure. To date, the proposed entertainment area has received mixed reviews from residents, including those residing within the Sports Complex Special Services District (SCSSD), 3300 S. Seventh St. Through four districts, the 7-year-old nonprofit serves approximately 9,000 residents occupying 4,200 households surrounding the sports complex. To uphold its belief in promoting community interests, it has had correspondence with both partners to discuss community concerns. The introduction of phases has won its approval. “The phased approach makes sense given today’s financial challenges,” Shawn Jalosinski, executive director for the SC-

SSD, said in last week’s interview with the Review. “It will better allow the Sports Complex to incrementally adjust to the new conditions resulting from the Philly Live! project.” Lydia Mongelini, a resident of the 1500 block of Hulseman Street — within SCSSD’s District 2 — expressed mixed feelings on the project. “I’m a sucker for tradition, so I’ll miss the Spectrum. I’m eager, though, to see what the next complex does for our economy,” she said. Jeremy Frye, of the 800 block of Oregon Avenue — within SCSSD’s District 3 — said he finds the project useless. “I go to Center City for everything other than for sports. What could they possibly put there, another sports bar? The whole idea bores me,” he said. According to Cordish, the building’s offerings remain variable. “Some of the types of venues being discussed are an upscale dining experience, a casual dining area, an entertainment venue such as a dueling piano concept and a sports bar,” Snyder said. Not waiting for the economy to attempt to improve to go forth, the partners want “to move forward to start the transformation of the Stadium Complex from a solely event-driven location to one of Philadelphia’s best dining, retail and entertainment destinations,” he added. “The partners believe that phase one will be a great success that will lead naturally to completion of the full Philly Live! project,” Snyder said.

Look out below! Last Thursday’s whirlwind knocked over trees and damaged property. Rita Stenavage Review Intern

esidents were caught in the wrath of an angry Mother Nature as one of the surliest and most dangerous storms of the year struck the city last Thursday. Between 3 and 4 p.m. everyone was doing all that they could to avoid the ferocious path of a very powerful thunderstorm that swept through the area. Although it moved quickly, that did not stop it from wreaking havoc on anything in its path and leaving behind a trail of destruction and debris. Trees all over the city fell, crushing cars, homes and telephone wires. In some cases it was impossible to access streets and sidewalks. Thousands of people lost power — many for as long as three days — and even SEPTA service to certain areas of the city and surrounding suburbs

was suspended as a result. Mary DeFranco was looking over her grandchildren at her daughter’s when the storm struck, she said. “The children were real scared because all of a sudden it was so dark and we could hear all the noise outside,” the resident of the 1300 block of Moyamensing Avenue said. “There were branches flying around and it was raining cats and dogs. It really riled up the kids.” THERE’S NO QUESTION that the worst of the damages was that done to property both private and public as a result of falling trees. Many surrendered to the thunder, wind and rain causing a great amount of damage and a headache for the people who had to clean up the mess. According to published reports, two trees split and crushed the fence around St. John Neumann Place, 2600 Moore St.,

another blocked the southbound lane of the 2600 block of South Broad Street resulted in cars detouring on the sidewalk to get around the fallen branches and about a dozen trees toppled over on the 1700 block of West Moyamensing Avenue. Even South Street could not withstand the

storm and the 2100 block was shut down on Friday morning due to numerous fallen trees. Several more large trees also were down near Citizens Bank Park, 1 Citizens Bank Way, including some falling timcontinued on next page

News continued from previous page ber on the 1600 block of Pattison Avenue that landed on a out-of-town man and also struck a woman as she tried to help. The storm also came as a shock for fans and players alike at Citizens Bank Park. The Phillies found what began as a promising forecast with a lead over the Cleveland Indians when suddenly, in the eighth inning, it turned to the contrary as the black clouds began to roll in followed by an intense downpour of rain. The members of the grounds crew were able to successfully drag the tarp across the diamond, that is until the extremely high winds began to cause a ruckus. A John Deere tractor was moved along the tarp to aid in keeping it from blowing away with any members of the crew, but it seems as though the storm only wanted to make its presence known at Citizens Bank Park, as after an hour-and-37-minute delay the game was able to resume and the Phillies added another win to their record. In addition to the threat of these gigantic plants crashing down on streets and homes alike, the high gusts of wind proved to be a formidable adversary as well. Alexandra Underwood, of the 1600 block of Ritner Street, was working in Center City when

she witnessed the high gusts carrying some unusual objects. “The storm was so powerful it took a lawnchair off the top of a building and it landed in the middle of 19th and JFK Boulevard,” she said. “Luckily, no one was hurt because that could of been real bad, but it caused a big scene. “The rain was coming down in sheets, it took me forever to finally get a cab.” The New Light Beulah Baptist Church, 1701 Bainbridge St., found itself in a losing battle against the blustery weather. Part of the building’s roof was ripped up and flew off, landing on cars parked along the street, according to published reports. Fortunately, no one was injured inside the church or on the ground where the debris from the roof landed. By Friday, the wreckage of the storm was apparent and people began the process of closing down streets, cleaning up debris and making the necessary arrangements for any damaged homes or cars. For some, this process dragged on through the weekend and even into this week. By now, most of the damage has been repaired, or at least it seems there is finally some light at the end of the tunnel.

CITIZENS’ ALLIANCE continued from page 1 of dirty bath water,” President and CEO of the Center City District Paul Levy wrote in his report to the court. “If so, could it be lifted out, nurtured to stand on its own and set forth on a new path of community benefit, transparency and self-sufficiency? After six months as interim conservator, I conclude that the answer to each of those questions is ‘yes.’” Levy, who was appointed to the job in December, recommended renaming the organization Passyunk East Revitalization Corp. with it focusing on the a subsection of the Passyunk Square neighborhood from Federal to McKean streets and from Broad to Ninth streets. The steady stream of income from the nonprofit’s real estate and the fact that it already owns the needed equipment were the keys to Levy’s decision. In his 10-page recommendation to the court filed June 2, Levy described the potential new nonprofit. “Picture then, a more modest organization whose mission is the continuing improvement of the Passyunk Avenue retail corridor and the enhancement of the residential blocks,” he wrote. And this may allow the new corporation to streamline cleaning services with the East Passyunk Avenue Business Improvement District, which currently devotes roughly $30,000 to a four-day-a-week sidewalk cleaning. “If Citizens Alliance was able to take over street cleaning, we obviously would have more resources to put back into the corridor for beautification or capital improvement projects,” Renee Gilinger, main street manager of the district, said noting the potential of reinstating building façade improvement that last year’s state budget cuts halted. The court reviewed the recommendation June 23 in a Harrisburg hearing, but Commonwealth Court Judge Dan Pellegrini requested more information by September. In his report, Levy listed the assets sold that helped to eliminate about half of its $1 million debt. Those included two trash trucks and a dump truck that netted the nonprofit $56,201 at an April public auction and a John Stobart painting, which former Sen. Vince Fumo purchased for $150,000 in October 2003 using Citizen’s Alliance funds, that will be sold for $25,000 to $45,000 Aug. 21 to 22 at the Marine & China Trade Auction in New Hampshire. The nonprofit also aims to close sales for the Christopher Columbus Charter School, 1240-52 S. 13th St., and Fumo’s former office, 1208-12 Tasker St., among others. “We think it’s a good report and a good way to go,” Attorney Thomas A. “Buck” Riley of the Exton-based law firm Riley Riper

After halting services more than a year ago, Citizens’ Alliance may make a return. The nonprofit that had a stake in the revitalization of East Passyunk Avenue may return with a new name focusing solely on the immediate area around the avenue. However, this fate must first be approved by a judge.

S ta f f P h o t o b y Greg Bezanis

Hollin & Colagreco, said, “and I think the judge’s indication — he doesn’t want to take any action yet until he sees what these question marks are relating to some of the assets particularly Covenant Partners.” The majority of the conversation with the judge pertained to outstanding issues including the ’02 $2.5 million investment in Covenant Partners, a Delaware corporation. Two years ago, representatives from the company offered to pay $700,000 to buy back Citizens’ Alliance’s share, but it refused to provide information on how much the nonprofit owns and what the actual value may be. Levy submitted an audit for ’06 through ’09 to the judge last week and plans to tie up any remaining loose ends prior to their next meeting and end his tenure with the organization. “[Pellegrini] asked for more information and clarification in September,” Levy said. “If all goes well, the organization will be out of debt and it would be potentially in a position to set more staff in place, so I see myself continuing to phase out by fall.” THE OFFICE OF Attorney General and the organization’s council — Riley and Joe Lundy — agreed that Citizens’ Alliance was a mere victim of the wrongdoings and its assets and equipment could still be an advantage to the community if used properly. Originally, the office sought to remove the 11 board members and revoke its nonprofit status. However, current officers agreed to step down and subsequently were removed from the lawsuit along with former board members. Fumo and past executive director of the nonprofit Ruth Arnao were convicted for misspending Citizens’ Alliance funds. Fumo also was convicted of defrauding the state Senate and the Independent Sea-

port Museum. The Attorney General estimates the duo had defrauded the nonprofit of $1.9 million — up from $1 million the U.S. District Attorney’s Office alleged — $676,000 of which may be returned, but is pending an appeal. The nonprofit still owns 22 properties including under its three forprofit entities. Those, along with its equipment, account for $15.9 million in assets as of December ’09 although that number has most likely decreased due to the declining market, according to Levy. Each year between ’06 and ’09, according to Levy’s report, the nonprofit spent $1,028,727 more than it collected on average for four years prior to almost depleting funds by April ’09 when services were brought to a halt and staff members were laid off. While Levy was surprised with the wide variety of tenants on the avenue, there was no disputing that the organization was in debt, which was far from the public’s perception. “In sum, there was no ‘pot of gold’ to be found inside the Alliance’s offices in December 2009,” Levy wrote in his report. “On the contrary, it was an organization deep in debt. Its primary assets consisted of an inventory of real properties that were, quite significantly, free, for the most part, of mortgages or liens.” Prior to halting services last year, the maintenance programs were primarily funded through grants including Penn’s Landing/PIDC Joint Operating Committee (PPJOC). More than $2.8 million was spent on cleaning and improvement services between ’04 and ‘07 while only $1.3 million in grants were brought in before being suspended in 2008 due to the accused wrongdoing. The city’s Office of the Inspector General seeks $5.5 million plus interest to be returned to PPJOC as it was spent inappro-

priately. This request along with the ongoing IRS tax examination and state litigation “could still jeopardize the financial stability and survival” of the organization, Levy wrote. Even with all the stop payments Citizens’ Alliance has faced, the possible relaunched organization could qualify for future grants if funds are available, Riley said. However, based on the setup Levy has proposed, they may not be needed. With the organization hoping to be debt free when Levy finishes his tasks and with property rents being raised to market value, the nonprofit may make do without extra funding by selling properties to allow for the revitalization of others. “Essentially continue to do what they already started to do,” Riley said. Its real estate will continue to be the organization’s most important asset, Levy wrote. Citizens’ Alliance began purchasing and renovating the properties from the 1500 to 1900 block of East Passyunk Avenue at the beginning of the last decade, which rejuvenated the corridor to what it is now. “The emergence of a thriving retail corridor with an increasing number of outdoor cafes attracted more residents, artists and young professionals to the row house blocks that intersect and surround the diagonal retail corridor,” Levy wrote noting this is also the opinion of two Center City developers, who reviewed the area pro bono. “Much of this is due to the spillover of demand from more expensive Center City neighborhoods to the north. But credit is due as well to the strategic investments of the Alliance.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Amanda Snyder at asnyder@southphillyreview.com or ext. 117.

A locally-born jazz singer has spent his lifetime performing and recently laid down his fifth album in NYC. By Jess Fuerst Review Contributor

nyone can put out a record with today’s synthesized vocals and studio-produced albums; That’s why Tony Messina does it live. “The album was recorded in New York at the Iridium Jazz Club,” Messina, from 11th and Wolf streets, said. “There are 13 cuts, nine American Songbook songs, like ‘My Funny Valentine,’ ‘On Broadway,’ ‘Georgia,’ ‘Blue Moon’ and then four originals, three of which I wrote.” The album is Messina’s fifth, with one other live album on the books. Laying down the tracks, so to speak, was the best part, he said. “I like doing live albums because there are people in the audience, you are in performance kind of mode,” Messina said. “The audience and you generate all this energy and they are applauding or not applauding and they are involved in the process. “I really like the process of recording live.” Audience reaction from those in attendance at the about 100-seat Midtown Manhattan club tipped Messina off that he has got something special on his hands. The promotional tour he began when the CD was released at the end of April has only served to bolster his confidence. “I like it and I have been doing radio interviews and the radio stations like it. And you hope people are going to like it and they are going to buy it,” Messina, who now lives in Springfield, said. “Reaction has been very positive, even more than I thought.” Messina, whose records have always had an international audience, took the cue from some special guests at the October 2008 Iridium performance and is branching out to a new market with this album. “A lot of people were from Australia. It’s being promoted in the U.S. and I’m going to do some promoting in Australia,” he said. “The last couple of years have been really kind to my career — my albums have been sold around the world: Japan, Europe and now Australia. continued on page 16

continued from page 14 For now Messina is focusing on local promotions, including a recent stop at Twenty Third Street Café in Center City that was a big success. Keeping things close to home — and especially close to his South Philly roots — is important. “I have friends [still in the area], I do have some family. I know some great restaurants. Have you heard of Fitzwater Café? [701 Fitzwater St.] Oh, I love it, oh my God, and I liked the way they designed it. They play the new record there. So if you are in there make sure you request it,” Messina said. “It’s amazing, South Philly is just amazing, what a place. I love it; I just can see why I always loved it. “It’s more Greenwich Village [in New York] cause it’s tighter and I can see why I moved from Philadelphia to New York and I felt comfortable in New York.” MESSINA ATTENDED EPIPHANY of Our Lord School, 1248 Jackson St., before his family moved to West Philadelphia. His schooling continued at multiple locations, including time at the Philadelphia Musical Academy, St. Joseph’s Prep, the Manhat-

tan School of Music and the University of California, Los Angeles. “I started writing when I was a teenager. I was always interested in the words, poetry, short stories, even screen-writing classes,” Messina, who writes much of his own music, said. “I played the clarinet, tenor sax and piano. I didn’t know it was going to be my job, or I guess career.” In high school, Messina took up acting in plays and continued theater training when he moved to New York. There, he also cut his chops with some B movies, which would prepare him for future roles when he moved to Los Angeles. “The industry was there [in New York and Los Angeles] cause then, when I was there, I did ‘General Hospital’ many times and then ‘The Young and the Restless,” Messina said. “Lots of actors learned their craft from doing Roger Corman films. I was also a part of two bigger Mel Brooks’ movies, ‘History of the World’ and ‘Life Stinks.’” While acting took off, singing took a backseat. Messina had always been a singer/songwriter at heart, so his move back to flexing his pipes was a natural shift. “I had transitioned from L.A. to N.Y. and there was not a ton of acting coming at me. In L.A., I was fascinated with [act-

ing] so I was letting go a little of the singing. Then all of a sudden a lot of singing was there, there were offers,” the 60-yearold, who cut his first album 12 years ago, said. “It kind of came back naturally and it wasn’t like I was pursuing it again.” Booking private performances and local gigs, a Texas-based group asked for a demo from Messina. The singer/songwriter thought it was high time he put together a proper album and next came his first record, “This Is What I Am.” “I do like doing both, there are a lot of people, singer/songwriters, and mostly they prefer the live performances as the writing process is secluded,” Messina said. “I’m gregarious and I’m outgoing and then I can also be alone and I can meditate and think and learn about the great philosophers.” Besides his exciting film roles, Messina has had the chance to work with the likes of Johnny Carson, David Letterman and George Carlin, among others. A true life highlight was when Messina’s presence was requested at an annual celebrity golf tournament that brought him face to face with his idol. “It was the greatest, it was like meeting God. I idolized Frank Sinatra, the world idolized Frank Sinatra … I got to meet him and I got to work with him and got close to

WEDNESDAY NIGHTS - QUIZZO! THUrSDAY: Acoustics with Donny from 2nd Street!

Nancy and Frank Jr.,” Messina, who played in Sinatra’s annual charity event to raise funds for his California-based hospital for four years, said. “He liked me, he liked my singing and to have an endorsement from Frank Sinatra was like God endorsing you, well if you believe in God. So I thought, I must be good, this is scary! “I learned stuff from him that I didn’t even learn from record producers about writing and what do to with songs that have been recorded — invaluable lessons from him about the things we discussed.” Now, sitting at the top of his game, Messina is enjoying the view. He hopes to continue recording and is planning to aggressively promote the latest album while thinking about releasing an out-of-genre reggae tune called “Umba Zumba Happy Days” that he wrote and has made family and friends start tapping their toes in anticipation of its formal release. “I actually, I’m doing much more writing now … I can really be anywhere now, all my nephews and nieces and all [are near my home] and I’m kind of getting to know them again. “I’m having fun being with the family.” SPR

Cardella

By Tom Cardella

The name game Columnist

see SEPTA has sold the naming rights for the Broad Street and Pattison Avenue subway stop to AT&T. Uncle Nunzi wants to sell the naming rights to his modest home to Reggiano Parmegiano, the royalty of macaroni cheese. Of course, some right-winger might object because the cheese is not a domestic product. When reminded of this, Uncle shouted, “I ain’t naming my house after some stinkin’ domestic cheese.” A good thing SEPTA didn’t sell the naming rights to Taco Bell because Lou Dobbs might show up and ask folks for their papers as they exit the train. Selling naming rights of sports facilities has always been a way for owners to grab some easy money, but it can have unforeseen consequences. In 1999, the Houston Astros thought it would be a good idea to cut a deal and name their new ballpark Enron Field. How did that one work out? The only way you could make a worse decision is to name the Environmental Protection Agency after BP. With so many states and municipalities becoming broke, we can probably expect the practice of selling naming rights to be used to bail out government. Maybe Mayor Nutter can solve Philadelphia’s budget woes by selling its naming rights to Coca Cola. On second thought, since the mayor tried to tax sugary soft drinks, maybe not. But why not sell the rights to Kraft Foods? After all, our city is already named after their cream cheese. You could even sell the naming rights to movies. Remember “Chinatown,” the Jack Nicholson classic? Maybe you could call it P.F. Chang’s and use the money to re-release it. Broadway theater could use an infusion of cash too. How about selling the naming rights to “La Cage Aux Folles” to Woody’s Bar and Restaurant in our very own gayborhood? The market for print media keeps shrinking. Are there corporations out there that would want their names on a newspaper masthead? Why not? No one that I know is particularly attached to the name “Inquirer.” In fact, folks in my area have always called it the “Inquire.” And why not the “Daily Budweiser” for our local tabloid. Since the New York Times considers itself the elite paper of record, it could be named after a craft beer. I would place personal hygiene products off-limits. No matter how appropriate it

would be for the state legislature in Harrisburg to be named after a sanitary napkin, lets resolve to resist the urge. On the other hand, Hispanics should be allowed to rename the state of Arizona “Preparation H.” Greedy right-wing talk show hosts could make even more money by selling their own name to the highest corporate bidder. Glen Beck could sell his name to a corporate entity that manufactures manure fertilizer, and I wouldn’t object. Then there wouldn’t be any doubt what Mr. Beck is full of, besides himself. Historical monuments should not be immune from the need to raise cash. If they can name the Fiesta Bowl after a corn chip then why not Wendy’s Statue of Liberty? Eventually this idea of corporate sponsorship will lead to nations selling their naming rights. The European Union is in deep trouble so how about Italy changing its name to Nutella. Greece could really benefit from a name change. The country is in financial trouble, and its name conjures up unappetizing food. Greece could be renamed Smart Balance. Even if it doesn’t stop Greece from slipping into bankruptcy, at least its image becomes free of trans fat. Spain doesn’t have to worry because our local restaurant magnate Jose Garces intends to buy the entire country and turn it into a place serving great tapas. North Korea might have a problem selling its naming rights, despite its need to raise money. It almost had a deal with a pancake firm, but it wouldn’t allow the picture of Aunt Jemima on its label to be replaced with one of Kim Il Jong. In a major departure from the corporate sponsorship craze, Hugo Chavez has decided to rename Venezuela after himself. The Obama administration doesn’t have enough problems. The White House has reportedly put the naming rights of America up for bid. The president claimed that nobody remembers how our country got its name anyway. Fox News immediately ran a documentary on Americus Vespucious, an explorer after which this country was named. The president has scheduled an address from the Rose Garden tomorrow to apologize to the descendants of Vespucious. Meanwhile, a group of Christopher Columbus admirers are threatening to picket the White House if Obama does not rename the country after the explorer who discovered America. The president reportedly made an off-hand remark to a reporter that he couldn’t rename the country in honor of Columbus because India was already taken. Uncle Nunzi says that he has no quarrel with America being renamed after a corporation since they already own the country anyway. SPR Comment at www.southphillyreview.com/opinion/cardella.

Coming up short

Eric Lamonsoff (Kevin James), from left, Kurt McKenzie (Chris Rock), Marcus Higgins (David Spade) and Lenny Feder (Adam Sandler) talk at the reception following their coaches memorial service.

By R. Kurt Osenlund Movie Reviewer

suppose there are worse things you could do with yourself than sit through a screening of “Grown Ups,” but, then, there also are worse things than being forcefed fistfuls of Ambien and arsenic and having your eyelids peeled back while puppies are slaughtered or being lobotomized in a torture chamber. These are the kind of cruel, unusual and comparable punishments that raced through my mind as I prayed for the end credits of this nightmare of 40-something male infantilism. I swear I saw the wasted minutes burn up as they passed by. The impetus behind the lakeside reunion of old friends Lenny, Eric, Kurt, Marcus and Rob is the death of their childhood basketball coach, who may have keeled over after learning the players he hoped would grow into honorable men instead became Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Chris Rock, David Spade and Rob Schneider, respectively. Out to steal your money so you can watch them mistake testosterone for brain cells, these increasingly irrelevant comedians have never been less likable, which, for some, seemed like an impossibility. Accompanied by their cartoonish families (why, oh why, did Salma Hayek and Maria Bello agree to do this?), the guys have the task of spreading their coach’s ashes out on the lake, but their main activities include deploying boatloads of witless, blatantly premeditated jokes, and engaging in painful-to-watch slapstick that makes “America’s Funniest Videos” look highbrow. It’s contemptible that Sandler actually sat down and wrote this dreck, then hired director Dennis Dugan, the guy who’s made Sandler’s resumé shine like a glass-covered landfill with films like “You

Don’t Mess with the Zohan” and “I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry.” “Grown Ups” is not without good intentions and the road to its lakeside hell is paved with them. For one thing, it attempts some tender generation-gap-bridging as the dads try to get their spoiled kids to appreciate outdoor, analog pleasures. But every emotion is offensively transparent, and every potentially winning moment is squashed by bad humor. It’s a movie terrified of maturity. If only it were made by grown-ups.

Recommended Rental The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo R Available Tuesday This Swedish-language adaptation of late author Stieg Larsson’s enormously popular bestseller, “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo,” falls victim to some weak plot twists, but still boasts a highly engulfing story and a fierce attitude. Swedish-Icelandic actress Noomi Rapace is terrific and intimidating as the titular femme fatale.

food South

orn is a popular ingredient of the summer season, whether it’s in a soup, salad or straight off the cob. Every backyard barbecue and block party will likely include at least one dish featuring these tasty yellow kernels. Peter Molle recommends highlighting it in his Corn Casserole. The resident of the 1300 block of South Leithgow Street makes it simple with less than two hours of prep time required. He is certain guests will go crazy for this simply scrumptious treat. SPR

Philly

Peter’s Corn Casserole INGREDIENTS:

1 can of whole kernel corn with liquid 1 can of cream-style corn 1 cup of sour cream 1 stick of melted butter 1 package of corn mufﬁn mix

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole kernel corn, creamed corn, sour cream, butter and mufﬁn mix. Pour the mixture into a 2-quart casserole dish. Bake for one hour and 40 minutes or until fully cooked in the center. Serves six to eight.

The Toque Stops Here Restaurant Review:

Bindi By Phyllis Stein-Novack R e s ta u r a n t R e v i e w e r

homas Jefferson was a renaissance man. America’s third president was a lover of fine food and wine. He loved to entertain at the White House and in his dining room in Charlottesville, Va. His table was resplendent with fruits and vegetables from his garden. For Jefferson, meat, fish or poultry served as a condiment during his meals. The stars were fresh in-season produce. I chatted about Jefferson with my friend Dan over dinner at Bindi because I had never reviewed an Indian restaurant. Besides, I read about the $20 Thali Tuesday dinner and was excited to try it. Bindi is BYOB. Dan e-mailed me that matching wine with Indian food can be tricky. I agreed. Dan brought a Trimbach Gewurztraminer which pairs well with spicy food. Our dinner took place on a brutally hot evening. Bindi is a casual eatery where executive chef Marcie Turney, of Valanni and Lolita fame, and chef de cuisine George Sabatino are turning out inexpensive tasty Indian fare. Although daylight streamed through the front windows, it was still a bit dark for me. The noise level was high because the place was almost totally booked. We sipped Schuylkill punch as our server opened our wine. “We are here for the special dinner,” Dan said. Our server explained we get a choice of protein along with eight other fruit, vegetable and grain dishes. Dan and I opted for the pork belly.

Our server placed before us what I can only describe as over-sized Seder plates. During the Passover Seder, a special plate is placed on the table with individual compartments to display symbolic foods. What followed was a dinner of such unusually tasty proportions I swore I would dine more often in Indian restaurants. But I am not sure they would be as fine as Bindi. The pork belly was crispy, spiced, cured and glazed served with local strawberry pickle and house-made chicharones. Our server also brought us a basket of Indianspiced chips with a sweet and spicy dipping sauce. The chilled, charred asparagus soup with pickled radishes and garam masala sent my taste buds soaring. It was refreshing to sip a cool soup on a hot evening. Swiss chard was a star. It was shredded and topped with toasted almonds, sprouted lentils, grilled oyster mushrooms bathed in a light garlic dressing. Farm-fresh sugar snap peas and yellow wax beans packed a little kick due to chili peppers and toasted sesame seeds. As we dined, Dan and I kept our menus close at hand because so many dishes were new to us. Local shell beans were enhanced by a bit of coconut. Favas were used here and they are my favorite bean. Fragrant basmati rice was naturally sweetened by cranberries and topped with mint. This rice dish was about as fine as you can get anywhere. The dreaded zucchini made an appearance. I did not mind Turney’s version. She used the squash to form a chutney

Bindi offers a wide variety of Indian selections, and on Tuesdays, patrons can try the $20 Thali dinner. p h o t o b y N ata l i e K e l l e m

and mixed it with coriander, mint and lime juice. The carrot confit was prepared with carrots from Blue Moon acres. Olive oil, rice wine vinegar and mustard seeds formed a fine balance to off-set the natural sweetness of carrots. Now for the raita. I love this yogurtbased Indian dip. It can also be used as a marinade. Garlic, red chili oil, mint and cool cucumber were an important part of the mix. I swirled chips into the dip and could not get over the marvelous flavors and textures. I was clueless about the paratha. It is a hand-rolled bread which was stuffed with pecans and goat cheese and placed on the griddle. The bread was accented by ghee, sea salt and a slightly tart rhubarb chutney. “I could come here every Tuesday,” I said to Dan. “This food is marvelously

fresh, tasty and nutritious.” Service was first-rate even though Bindi was booked by the time we left. At the bottom of the menu, “We proudly support local artisan farmers” is printed. By dining at Bindi, we support these important men and women too. Three tips of the toque to Bindi. SPR

34 SOUTH PHILLY REVIEW I july 1, 2010

T h e To q u e S t o p s H e r e

By Phyllis Stein-Novack Food Columnist

lthough Thanksgiving is my favorite American holiday, the glorious Fourth of July is a close second. The food, fireworks, parades, marching bands and crowds on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway are the stars of our nation’s birthday. The only thing I hate about this holiday is the heat. July is the hottest month of the year. I would rather stay indoors and enjoy a good meal rather than sweat in someone’s yard and feel faint. Pause for a moment and reflect about the great Republic we are due to a group of disparate men and one extraordinary woman who gave us “The Great Experiment.” Benjamin Franklin has always been my favorite Founding Father. He and John Adams, who loved to hear himself talk and talk and talk, had a true love-hate relationship. Read David McCullough’s Pulitzer Prize-winning biography on Adams and you will get a more than accurate glimpse into this extraordinary man. Thomas Jefferson, the redhead of the group, played the violin, was a farmer, inventor and author of The Declaration of Independence. He was a quiet man with a powerful quill pen. The lone woman is Abigail Adams, John’s wife. She was a feminist way before the term was coined. Abigail ran the family farm through brutal winters and hot summers in Braintree, Mass., where she raised her family and set an example for future generations of American women.

Her beloved husband was away much of the time. I have visited Monticello, Jefferson’s home in Charlottesville, Va. He designed “the Little Mountain” in the Italianate style. Jefferson was a fine Southern gentleman. Although Benjamin Franklin was born in Boston, he arrived in Philadelphia as a youth and stayed for the rest of his life. His inventions are as renowned as his eye for the ladies. Franklin’s diplomatic skills were second to none. He adored good food and drink as did Jefferson. In honor of America’s birthday, here are recipes from “Thomas Jefferson’s Cook Book” by Marie Kimball and “Benjamin Franklin Book of Recipes” by Hilaire Dubourcq.

■ Mrs. Mary Randolph’s ■ Fried Chicken Ingredients:

2 (3-pound) chickens, each cut into eight pieces, wiped dry with paper towels Flour seasoned with salt and pepper, for dredging Vegetable oil for frying Sprigs of fresh Italian parsley 1 cup of light cream, scalded 1 tablespoon of butter Salt and pepper, to taste 1 teaspoon of chopped parsley

Directions: Pour about one cup of flour into a brown paper bag. Add the salt and pepper and shake well. Carefully dredge each piece of the chicken in the seasoned flour. You may need more flour at some time. Place each piece of chicken on a platter. Heat about 3 inches of the oil over high heat in a deep 4-quart pot. Gently add the chicken pieces and fry them on each side until golden brown. This will take abut eight to 10 minutes. The dark meat needs more time to fry. Remove each piece to a warm platter. Be careful not to crowd the pot because the chicken will not brown properly. Add the parsley sprigs to the hot fat to fry. Remove and place on the platter. Add the butter, salt, pepper and parsley to the scalded cream. Pour over the chicken and serve. Serves six. Note from Phyllis: Mary Randolph was the author of “The Virginia-Housewife,” a celebrated book on housekeeping and cooking. She probably used lard to fry the chicken. The recipe also calls for squares of corn meal mush, also known as polenta, to be added to the hot fat. Thomas Jefferson adored polenta.

‘I feel ready for my time at Maryland. Chestnut Hill Academy and my parents have prepared me well for college.’ —Jon McAllister, center ﬁelder

Atlantic coasting A local high school baseball standout signs letter of intent to play for the University of Maryland.

By Joseph Myers r e v i e w s ta f f w r i t e r

ecause he is human, Jon McAllister must have flaws. On a baseball field, however, the resident of the 1800 block of Sigel Street has performed immaculately for most of his life. The 18year-old center fielder, who recently completed an estimable career at Chestnut Hill Academy, will soon be smashing fastballs and chasing fly balls for the University of Maryland, with whom, last April, he signed a National Letter of Intent. Though he spent his high school playing days outside of the neighborhood, McAllister began his baseball odyssey at Marian Anderson Recreation Center, 744 S. 17th St. At age 6, he first suited up for the Anderson Monarchs and added soccer and basketball to his sporting endeavors. “I drifted away from [basketball and soccer] at 13 to focus on baseball,” McAllister, who attended Girard Academic Music Program, 2200 Ritner St., from fifth through eighth grades, said. “Focus” is a key word for the young man. It has inspired his work ethic and earned him attention from college scouts as early as his freshman year of high school. Choosing Chestnut Hill Academy, a member of the six-school Inter-Academic League, came courtesy of a neighbor, whose son, David Jennings, graduated from the school in 2007. “I liked what Mr. Jennings had to say. The school sounded like a good choice,” McAllister noted of his former athletic and academic abode. For CHA, part of the country’s oldest inter-scholastic athletic conference, the left-handed McAllister set multiple school records, including accumulating the most hits, stolen bases and runs scored. As a rookie, he helped his school to claim a share of the ’07 Inter-Ac crown with an

8-2 record. He earned FirstTeam all-conference honors that year, a feat he repeated three more times. He also starred as a wide receiver for the football team. This season, the baseball team registered a 16-12 mark, which included advancing to the semifinals of the Pennsylvania Independent Schools Tournament where CHA lost to Germantown Friends. Its speedy leadoff hitter batted .473, with 44 hits in 93 at-bats. He swiped 28 bases, scored 27 runs, knocked in 21 runs and stroked nine triples. THANKS TO HIS individual accomplishments, McAllister has been on the radar of Division I college scouts. “Interest became heavy the summer before I started my junior year,” McAllister noted of his ’08 break. He chose the University of Maryland, a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference, over Clemson University, one of his future school’s conference rivals. The Terrapins finished this year with a 17-39 record, the worst in the 12-team league. Conversely, the South Carolina-based Clemson Tigers won

their division and advanced to the College World Series, but McAllister stands by his choice. “I want to help the program to make it far,” he said. “I am eager for fall training. If I do well, the coaching staff has told me I will bat leadoff and play center field.” As a hitter, McAllister said he loves fastballs. His affinity for facing the heat assisted the six-foot slugger in his seven years with the Philadelphia Senators National team of the Marzano Woodbat Scout League. “I began playing for the Senators when I was 11 or 12,” McAllister said of the team, which plays its games at Sunoco Field, 3501 Moore St. The Marzano Woodbat Scout League draws its crop of players from Philadelphia and its immediate suburbs. It seeks to help players to gain admission into private

high schools, receive college scholarship or be selected by a Major League organization. McAllister has two-thirds of his goals accomplished. As a collegiate athlete, McAllister is eager to add to one of his favorite perks of being a Division I athlete — traveling. As a high schooler, he would leave his house before 6:30 a.m. to catch a Regional Rail train. The life of a ballplayer requires a nomadic mentality, which McAllister has honed. “I prefer traveling. In high school, I went to Minnesota, Florida and Georgia. Our [Maryland’s] first game is going to be against UCLA, so I will be able to add California, too.” Because of his age, McAllister’s time with the Senators is done. He is spending most of his summer playing for the Phillies RBI (Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities) League. Teams travel, to his delight, and compete for the chance to play in August’s RBI World Series. “The rest of the time, I am occupying myself with my friends,” McAllister, who wants to major in either communications or kinesiology, said. “Classes start August 31, so I’m not sure when I’ll go to Maryland.” “Jon is always good at driving for what he wants,” his mother Rhonda McAllister said. “I don’t have to work too hard to keep him motivated.” Her independent son echoed that sentiment. “I feel ready for my time at Maryland. Chestnut Hill Academy and my parents have prepared me well for college,” he said. SPR Contact Staff Writer Joseph Myers at jmyers@ southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.

dmist Wold Cup hoopla, Philadelphia opened its brand new soccer park earlier today with a 3-1 win over the Seattle Sounders. The sellout crowd of 18,500 packed the stadium on one of the year’s hottest days. Aggressive promotion over the past four years has finally made the World Cup a small blip on Americans’ radar. The disheartening loss to Ghana on Saturday means I will no longer be watching the World Cup, but I may go check out the Union.
