ly, much-needed perspective. “...It quickly became evident that City Paper wasn’t a place that was going to sign the biggest free agent on the market. Rather, it sought out rough-around-the-edges upstarts and provided a springboard into professional-ish experimentation and freedom to cover what the Inquirers of the world wouldn’t dare touch.”

I look at some of those “upstarts” now who have gone on to amazing roles in journalism and it dawned on me. It’s not about bruised egos or feeling slighted. It’s about ensuring we’re hosting Philly stories told by Philadelphians.

Don’t pitch us a story on the PPA doing something shady, we all know the PPA is crooked and shady, pitch us the story of the shady PPA official caught with his neighbor’s wife.

Don’t pitch us the story on the mainstream band or artist coming to Philadelphia, but the hungry up-and-comer from Nicetown or Mayfair or Strawberry Mansion making their own beats in the basement studio of his row trying to get put on so they can support their family.

Pitch us stories about Satanists, sex workers and scumbags.

If it’s good and you have a basic grasp of the English language we’ll consider it.

My goal with PW has always been to be remembered as the editor who made PW feel like PW again. Sometimes to ensure that remains the case, I’ll admit it’s refreshing to have a kick in the teeth every now and again.

and while we’ve made some great strides, there are some pieces that just flat out weren’t alt. They were pitched, and it was viewed as a good story, but if you look at what an alt-weekly is supposed to represent, there were a few I OK’d that didn’t fit the bill.

Spending large chunks of strapped budget on stories that we could’ve flipped press releases on, running pieces that served potential advertisers instead of old school Philadelphia alt-readers and chasing angles on hard news stories everyone already had.

The shit just wasn’t alternative – and it was all on my watch.

It’s been stressed to our senior staff that Philadelphia Weekly is not to be viewed anymore as a newspaper, we’re no longer “media” but that we need to view ourselves as a “vanguard of culture.” But in Philadelphia, with so many varying degrees of culture, that’s really vague.

I choose to view PW as the “vanguard of counterculture,” serving the Philadelphia that’s frequently goes unheard.

I’m not going to go too much into what we’re looking for as that’s explained succinctly on Page 6, but I will say that our newfound direction is one I remember PW and City Paper being when I read both religiously every Thursday as a cub sports reporter.

My first rodeo into journalism was driving my piece of shit sedan all over Southeastern Pennsylvania to cover high school and college sports for $350 a week (and this was back in 2004-06). But you know what? Those stories

Music mag Rolling Stone released its Top 100 albums of the decade and a pair of Philly-based artists made the list. North Philly’s own Tierra Whack landed at No. 91 for her 2018 album “Whack World,” and Low Cut Connie’s second album in 2012 “Call Me Sylvia” landed at No. 96.

Not gonna lie we were a bit surprised to see Meek Mill’s 2012 “Dreams and Nightmares” not make the cut and how are you gonna snub Marian Hill? Whatever. Shouts to Tierra and those firecrackers that make up Low Cut Connie for gracing the list.

The number of home games won in a row for the Sixers following a 110-104 asswhooping of the Toronto Raptors on Sunday in which Ben Simmons nailed the second three-pointer of his career. Interesting, yet perhaps worthless stat: the Sixers are also 2-0 both at home and overall when Simmons hits a three-pointer.

Do it but fucking mean it A charitable contribution will allow city animal shelter ACCT Philly to offer no adoption fees beginning this Friday, Dec. 13 through Sunday, Dec. 15. On the surface, this is great, it’ll allow some great animals that just need a little TLC to find a great home and clear ACCT’s overloaded cages. But, all we ask is that if you do it, be serious about it. While this sounds great, someone who works closely with the shelter told PW that while this sounds all well and good, these animals come back just as fast they are adopted or worse, are mistreated at the very hands of the people who adopted them. Just last week, there was a report of an 11-year-old terrier found tied to a pole in the cold. He was recognized by an ACCT worker as a dog that was recently adopted. Don’t be that person, please.

SCUMBAG OF THE WEEK

FUCK YOU That award goes to the CEO of a recovery center who got caught sending patients to a Florida treatment facility for financial gain. Joseph Lubowitz, 31, who owned Humble Beginnings Recovery Center and who reportedly claimed he was recovering from an opioid addiction himself, was sentenced to 18 months in prison after he admitted to pocketing $21,000 in kickbacks after sending patients to a treatment facility that would run unnecessary tests and procedures on unsuspecting and desperate people to drive up insurance payments. Wow. Enjoy your stay, Joseph.

Want to write about debauchery, scandal and outcasts? Welcome to PW.

D

o your friends say you are a little bit off?

Do you believe the norms of society simply do not apply to you?

Do people stare at you on the EL because of the clothes you are wearing, assuming you indeed chose to wear clothes that day?

If you answered “yes” to any of the above questions, we at PW want to hear from you.

The new year is right around the corner, and it’s a new day and a new mission here. We are moving away from the government – and political-driven coverage that so many other media outlets provide. We no longer will blend into the crowd and follow the media herd to the conventional, often irrelevant and redundant stories everybody else is doing.

We want the stories they won’t publish – as in last week’s Love City Satanists story. Or next year’s holiday gift guide, which will feature a section of the best sex toys you can buy for less than $50.

And to help us on our way, we are looking for fresh, provocative and inspiring voices who also happen to be a little bit crazy. People who have the creativity, drive, passion and don’t-give-a-damnness to tell the stories others won’t.

Is that you? We won’t know unless you tell us about yourself and your ambitions.

Oh, but you’re not a writer? Yeah, you probably are, but you just don’t know it. If you have stories to tell, we’ll make you a writer.

Maybe you’re a laborer by day and a sex addict by night who frequents clubs that cater to a certain clientele. You can share your

thoughts and opinions about these clubs with others, and, if you want, we can keep your real identity private so that you can keep your job and avoid the side-eye from your conforming coworkers.

Maybe you’re that person on the street corner singing, not for donations, but because God told you to.

Ever actually worn a tinfoil hat or lose an argument with an inanimate object? Are you certain Elvis is alive and Paul McCartney is not?

All of the above should consider themselves qualified candidates to write for us.

Or maybe you’re just someone who thrives on thinking and writing about the weird things that make the city what it is or the trends nobody else is talking about.

Shit, maybe you could use a little extra cash in your pocket.

We want to hear from all of you. Maybe you have one great story in you, maybe you have 100. We’ll figure it out.

But we won’t find out until or unless you tell us about yourself and whatever twisted and depraved thoughts and actions motivate you to get out of bed every day. Send us an email at mail@philadelphiaweekly.com. Include whatever name you’re going by that day (but make sure we have a real one on file that we can use for the checks) and the issues you want to write about.

This is your chance to be famous. Or infamous.

Or at least the No. 1 topic of all of your future family gatherings.

No fucks left to give Madonna’s mini-residency at The Met started with a majestically weird, wonderful bang

BY A.D. AMOROSI

A Madonna reinvented took the stage at the Met over the weekend, a stop along her Madame X tour in a show that certainly is a fresh sound for her fan faithful. | Image: Stufish DECEMBER 12 - 19, 2019 | PHILADELPHIA WEEKLY

his is rich: What major name-above-the-title musical artist decides, at this point in the all-consuming, flossy pop, hop or rock game, legacy or otherwise, to create a genuinely weird, LatinX-laced album with fleeting few concessions to the currency of the charts, mount a performance art-heavy small theater tour (rather than their usual arena visits) where they make their minions wait until 11 p.m., at the very earliest, to hit the stage – then play mostly those new songs, rather than the hits tired ass audiences paid thousands of dollars to hear done in rote, annual fashion like some numbing radio station of the soul – and wear an eye patch and talk too much through the lot of it?

MUSIC

PHILADELPHIAWEEKLY.COM @PHILLYWEEKLY You know, other than Kanye West.

Go one step further: Without being ageist, what over-60-year-old artist, legacy or otherwise would change their game completely going into a big tour? Do you think rock-headed audiences would dare see the likes of the Rolling Stones, The Who, The Eagles or any old man act if they decided to play mostly Latin music, or jazz, or real opera instead of the fake opera dross Pete Townshend touts endlessly?

How many crab fries and craft beers will Citizen Bank if Green Day or Motley Crue play Appalachian folk music exclusively on banjos and washboards come summer 2020?

Welcome to the mindset of Madonna, currently on her “Madame X” intimate theater tour with a four-date stop at The Met Philadelphia starting last Saturday night. Late Saturday night.

Like I rushed out of the venue and grabbed a cab outside The Met 2 a.m. late. (Then again, how late is late? If this show was to make the most of its noir, after-hours feel in design and subject matter, shouldn’t it occur late into the evening. Clubbing never starts before midnight. Why should Madonna)?

Whether it was her voice (stronger than ever when not using AutoTune or vocal FX), costume changes (Napoleon-meets Adam Ant gear, 40’s detective chic, pencil skirt Lotte Lenye outfits, etc.), or the manner in which she crawled through self-designed set changes, Madonna was pretty marvelous. Not focused, mind you. But magnificent.

I don’t come to this positive review from a place of Madge worship.

Up until the electronic tango-fado psychedelia of “Madame X,” I haven’t loved a Madonna album since her 1998-2000 period of “Ray of Light” and “Music.” Those were the last true times that she found worthy experimental producers, oddball rhythm-makers and plausibly succinct, quirkily contagious melody writers to work sympathetically with her voice and vision. After that fertile period, they all jumped ship to work with Beyonce and Rihanna.

In the here and now of Saturday’s “Madame X” performance piece, she found the best melodies and rhythms to showcase her voice and put forth her occasionally tedious rhetoric about politics, religion, rights, family, freedom, violence, sex, Lisbon (where she currently lives) and the United States.

Starting with the issue of art and a set of James Baldwin quotes (“Art is here to prove that all safety is an illusion…Artists are here to disturb the peace”) interrupted by shotgun blasts, Madonna set off to play martyr, soothsayer, provocateur, and a whole host of things she claimed as Madame X’s mission.

9

Jamming a sharp stick in to that of her earlier hit-making machine, Madonna – on a sumptuous “Papa Don’t Preach,” one of the fleeting few songs audience members recalled – she changed her lyrics from “keeping my baby” to “I’m not keeping my baby,” before asking the crowd if it was OK that she had control over her own body. The set’s near-finale, “Like a Prayer, was an exhalation of joy, sensuality and reverence all in one stroke, a perfect pre-encore gateway into “I Rise,” and its dedication to everything from LGBTQ empowerment (the colors of a rainbow flag behind her) and freedom of the press.

Beyond clipping off an a cappella piece of “Express Yourself,” a lovely techno-ballad take on “Frozen,” and doing a fairly traditional rendition of “Vogue,” the rest of her nearly three-hour show was dedicated to her merrily sloppy soliloquies and stand-up routines – even teasing that, the Met, “this beautiful opera house with M’s all over the place. It looks like they built it for me. They did, didn’t they?”

And, of course, “Madame X.” In a live setting, the album is more jarring,

“In the here and now of Saturday’s ‘Madame X’ performance piece, she found the best melodies and rhythms to showcase her voice.”

In addition to melodies that captivated, Philly fans were also treated to Madonna’s thoughts on politics, religion, rights, family, freedom, violence, sex and Portugal, where she currently resides. | Image courtesy: Wikicommons

MADONNA, FROM PAGE 9 but less precise, than in its recorded state, and evenly given over to the influence of her new native Lisbon. The lush and gorgeous electro-fado “Medellin” was a rhythmic teaser with its 60s-like call “cha-chacha.” The fado-style “Killers Who Are Partying” and “Batuka” – where she was accompanied by the dozen-plus women percussionists of Cabo Verde’s Orquestra Batukadeira – was sonically delicious, even if Madonna got lyrically heavy-handed taking on the weight of world oppression with a hint of self-heroism a la “I will be gay, if the gay are burned/I’ll be Africa, if Africa is shut down/ “I’ll be Islam, if Islam is hated I’ll be Israel, if Israel is incarcerated.”

The first few set pieces of Saturday night’s stage show handsomely portrayed the abrasive power of “Madame X” in one fell swoop

with everything from questioning religious rights and warring factions, dressed in Napoleonic headgear, on the raging electro of “God Control” to the aptly-titled “Dark Ballet.”

Heavy-handed at times – sure. The casket carrying display of the “Coffin” interlude, the Madame X Manifesto, the finger-pointing of “I Don’t Search I Find” and “American Life” – not her finest. But, taken as a whole, and jammed into an intimate setting such as The Met, Madonna’s dizzying performance art form finally has found its true home.

And, at a time when homogenous pop is in need of someone to upset its apple cart, Madonna is there.

Teen violence: solution begins with parents

OF OUR

CITY

THE SHOUT OUT

To the Editor, [This is in regards to] last week’s Shout Out question in PW regarding the recent violence in Center City: Is there anything to be done to stop these attacks?

Since the acts in question are being committed mostly, if not all, by black teenagers, I am sure Philadelphia Weekly has by now gone through a myriad of hateful, racist comments on this issue by individuals who know better than to confront these young people face-toface. I work in hospitality in Center City, on a daily basis, I see these groups of kids walking around in groups doing things that they have no business doing.

Groups of six to 10 juveniles entering and exiting stores harassing and stealing from owners, breaking store windows and running – the 7-11 at 800 Walnut is a favorite target. I was in a pizza shop when four youths asked to use the restroom. As they came out of the restroom, they grabbed slices of pizza off of diners’ plates and ran out laughing, always with the running.

Victor Hugo wrote, “There are no such things as bad plants or bad men. There are only bad cultivators.” The cause and the solution begins and ends with the parents. Why are there so many charter schools in Center City [and why do they all] let out at the same time? When they leave school at 3 p.m., it’s like Bastille Day. The police are placed around 15th and Chestnut, at 15th and Market, and at Dilworth Park, to herd these children to the Market-Frankford El and the Broad Street subway.

Fights break out nearly every day, and extra security and police are stationed at the new Fashion District to keep it from becoming a hangout. I feel, in the long run, it’s a losing battle. There is a very short line between mischief and criminal acts. These kids recently have been snatching iPhones out of the hands of owners and running away, again with the running. Where are the mayor and City Council in all this?

I said earlier the solution begins and ends with the parents, since the kids who don’t go home, wander around Center City with their backpacks sometimes until 10 at night, what kind of future does that kid have? Good parenting will place the arrows in their quiver to help them become a human being, humanity, humility, remorse and empathy. Unfortunately, some of these children only have tribalism and antisocial behavior in theirs.

Two days before Thanksgiving, Philadelphia’s Licenses and Inspections Review Board sided with the city, allowing SEPTA to keep an air pollution permit to operate a gas-fired power plant in Nicetown. The announcement came after five months of deliberation.

Bad news at Thanksgiving was a déjà vu for activists opposing the SEPTA gas plant.

It was the week following Thanksgiving 2017 when Philadelphia’s Air Management Services, which enforces air quality regulations, issued the Nicetown air permit by quietly posting it on its website. This also came after five months of deliberation, following public comments, which had elicited rigorous opposition.

Regional Rail customers had little reason to celebrate L&I’s Thanksgiving verdict. SEPTA’s new gas plant next to its Midvale bus depot is designed to generate a portion of the electricity needed to power six regional rail train lines. Currently 100% of SEPTA’s electricity is provided by PECO. Generating electricity in Nicetown will not reduce SEPTA’s train fares or keep the trains running better in bad weather.

Neighbors living within a mile of SEPTA’s gas plant also lacked motivation to “pop the cork.” While SEPTA and Mayor Kenney have promoted the project as a benefit for the community, the plant will add 73 tons of toxic emissions into the air each year. Nicetown neighbors are already familiar with routine pollution inversions in warm weather. The area sits in a topographical bowl, and the air is polluted with combustion engine exhaust from the Roosevelt Expressway and heavy street traffic, as well as diesel fumes from freight trains and the 312 buses that operate from SEPTA’s Midvale Depot.

According to City Health Department reports, Nicetown has some of the highest

rates of diseases that are associated with outdoor air pollution in Philadelphia, including cancer, mental illnesses, and the second-highest childhood asthma hospitalization rate.

Environmental groups also declined to toast the Thanksgiving event. While SEPTA asserts that burning gas locally will reduce carbon emissions, environmentalists consider their math to be fundamentally flawed.

SEPTA’s calculation omits significant methane leaks from the extraction and transport of natural gas, uses outdated numbers for PA’s electrical grid, and ignores regional energy trends.

Environmentalists have been calling for SEPTA to transition to renewable, fossil-free energy. UN reports indicate that the world needs to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to stop climate change. The largest polluters – like the U.S. and China – need to move even faster. SEPTA’s new investment in gas-fired power plants is not compatible with that goal.

Residents of the affected communities and environmental groups across the Delaware Valley have worked to stop SEPTA’s gas-fired power plant in Nicetown since 2016. The L&I Review Board was ruling on two appeals submitted by three organizations: 350 Philadelphia, Neighbors Against the Gas Plants, and The Center for Returning Citizens.

This Thanksgiving, lawyers for the appellants received quiet emails less than 24 hours before the L&I decision was to be announced.

It’s just plain cold, to ruin Thanksgiving this way, as if the city seeks revenge against taxpayers trying to prevent toxic dumping.

But we will regroup, and encourage Philadelphia to do better things than passing fracked gas onto our communities.

What a way to ring in the holiday season.

President Trump [recently] announced that he would tighten requirements for SNAP, which would cut hundreds of thousands of people off from their access to food security.

This has been one of [Pa. Sen.] Pat Toomey’s white whales since he’s taken office. While Pat Toomey has no problem voting for a tax bill that gives billions in tax breaks for his super rich friends, he takes personal offense to low-income people being able to buy their groceries. Only a real grinch like Pat Toomey would take joy in depriving hundreds of thousands of people from their access to food security.

Time to ditch Electoral College To the Editor, Everyone recognizes that the U.S. Senate, with two seats per state regardless of the state’s population, is undemocratic. But it is widely assumed that each state’s representation in the House of Representative and the Electoral College is proportional to the state’s population.

The fact is that even in those two bodies the more highly populated states are grossly underrepresented. For example, California has more than 67 times the population of Wyoming, but only 53 times the number of House seats. Since the number of each state’s electoral votes in the Electoral College is determined by adding the number of its House seats to the number of its senators, the inequity in both houses of Congress is replicated in the system for selecting the president.

Thus, for example, California, with more than 67 times the population of Wyoming, has only 18 times the number of presidential electors. California’s current total of 55 electoral votes would have to be increased to 221 to give that state the clout that is proportional to its population. There is a similar disparity between such heavily populated and underrepresented states as Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York and Illinois, on the one hand (all Democratic), and such over-represented sparsely populated states as Idaho, Montana and the Dakotas on the other hand (all Republican).

The winner of the popular vote in 2000 and 2016 each would have become president notwithstanding the Electoral College if the states’ electoral votes had simply been proportional to the states’ population.

– Michael Tolcott | Philadelphia

Pass election security funding To the Editor, Bottom line: Our elections are still vulnerable to foreign interference. On top of hours of public testimony pointing to Trump bribing Ukraine to interfere in the 2020 election, the national security community has confirmed hostile foreign powers like Russia, China, and Iran are already working to compromise our upcoming elections.

That’s why the Senate’s refusal to pass much-needed election security funding measures is simply unacceptable.

Earlier this year, the House of Representatives passed $600 million in election security funding for states to upgrade digital-only voting equipment with voter-verified paper ballots and other security measures that would safeguard election results from hacking and cyber attacks – which is something we should all agree needs to be prevented.

I’m urging my senators to follow the House’s lead and pass $600 million in election security funding for states before time runs out. Lawmakers are duty-bound to keep our democracy safe. The American people are counting on the Senate to do the right thing and stand up for our democracy.

A new public health crisis: Philly vs Poverty To the Editor, I am willing to pay a co-pay for my medications. I’m a nurse and I can afford it.

However, for the nearly 375,000 Philadelphians living below the poverty line, they make the choice to feed their families, to pay for rent, and to buy transit passes to get to work. They aren’t always able to afford their medications or their co-pays for appointments.

I use the word “choice” loosely. Among other systemic flaws, the low minimum wage, barriers to support programs, unstable housing, and lack of job security are the real decision-makers for those in living in poverty.

They cannot afford to buy into their own health. These people are not poor by choice, but rather by circumstance.

This inability to purchase health care is palpable in the patients I take care of every day. A grandmother, let’s call her Ms. Wilson, had three kids and seven grandchildren. She was previously a social worker in West Philadelphia who retired early to help take care of her aging brother. Without enough retirement savings, she could not afford her medicine to manage her high blood pressure, and ended up in the emergency room with a heart attack.

While there, she learned she had cancer, but the cost of treatment would cost more than her monthly living bills.

“It was my house or my health, and I couldn’t leave my family this early,” I remember Ms. Wilson saying. Within six months, she lost her house because she was unable to keep up with her payments due to expensive medical bills.

Ms. Wilson is one of many who live in poverty who live much sicker lives. Research shows that Philadelphians in poverty had higher levels of chronic illness, including high blood pressure, obesity, asthma, and diabetes, than other residents. They were also twice as likely to describe their health as poor or fair compared to those above the federal poverty line.

Earlier this year, PA House Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta proposed House Resolution 68 “recognizing poverty as a public health crisis in this Commonwealth.” Although Mayor Kenney has established a plan addressing poverty this year, there is a lack of recognition and action toward including health-care systems and providers in his approach. Aside from the opening of the new Health Center 10, there is a lack of health-based interventions in these policies around poverty. These programs could include:

Offering subsidies for preventive health screenings to those below a certain income level Helping people pay for medical bills, like LIHEAP does for utilities Screening for those having difficulty with income Implementing a warm-handoff system that would connect those in poverty who visit the emergency room for quick services to long-term primary services, like the Philadelphia Resilience Program seeks to do Ms. Wilson started living with her sister after losing her home. However, she passed away at the age of 55, just a year after starting treatment.

If the link between poverty and health is so clear, why aren’t there more programs and funding, particularly in the health sector, dedicated to identifying, combating and preventing poverty?

Some argue it’s because programs supporting the health of those in poverty would be too expensive to fund. However, the price tag of poverty is far more expensive than the cost to combat it. Employers of low-income workers pay a double price: in higher health-care costs for their increased risk of illnesses and in lower productivity via missed worked days.

If poverty is as powerful and costly as the opioid crisis, then we too have the responsibility to treat it as such.

Poverty has not been reduced by a resolution. It is done by mobilizing the needed resources and including the right people to get it done.

Here’s what you can do to advocate for those who find themselves in poverty: Advocate for regulations that treat poverty with urgency Reach out to your legislators for increased funding for the supportive programs, like medical bill assistance and subsidized health screenings Contact Kathy L. Rapp and Dan Frankel, the Chair and Democratic Chair of the Health Committee of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives As I work toward becoming a nurse practitioner, we learn all the actions we can take that are supposed to help the health of our future patients. We forget that to start to manage our patients’ health, we must first confront the power of poverty to find power over poverty.

Himwant to) do with me. He also has sexual issues

due to having survived testicular cancer and no longer having testicles.

As a bisexual woman, I don’t have an issue with that and am happy to have non-penis sex.

But even that is not forthcoming, because he always tells me his fixation on this fetish is interfering, while remaining totally incoherent about what the fetish is and why he can’t do it with me.

No one is required to sleep with me, but it’s upsetting to go to bed with him and then, after he plays along for a little while, have to listen to him tell me another totally incoherent version of whatever his fucking problem is.

I value this person for the other parts of our relationship, but I’m getting fed up. I don’t see how we’ll ever get along in bed if I’m just trying to have fun while he’s being as tormented, confusing, and complicated as possible. Should I just walk away? Is this bullshit or not?

– Drama Is Boring Unless this ball-less mess is climbing up the fire escape and slipping into your bedroom uninvited – which I’m guessing you would’ve mentioned – he keeps turning up in your bedroom because you keep inviting him.

Stop that, DIB. Tell him you’re happy to keep seeing him, if you enjoy his company that much, but you’re not “seeing” him anymore, which means he’s not welcome in your bedroom. So there’s no need for him to bring up his fetish or any other sexual issues with you.

As a general rule, a person really shouldn’t mention the fact that they have a kink or fetish to a new partner unless they’re ready to share what it is. You don’t have to be ready to act on it – lots of people have fetishes and/or kinks they enjoy as fantasy-only or are ready to share but want to take the doing a little slower.

But telling someone you have a kink/fetish that’s so all-consuming you can’t be sexual unless it’s a part of the action and then refusing to name the kink/fetish and then adding that you wouldn’t want to do it with the person… well, that’s not just bullshit, DIB, it’s disqualifying assholery and some truly next-level negging. Don’t walk away, run.

by

Sheriff on Tuesday, January 7, 2020 at First District Plaza, 3801 Market Street, at 9:00 AM. (EST) Conditions of Sheriff’s Sale for JUDICIAL/FORECLOSURE SALE Ten percent of the highest bid for each property auctioned off shall be deposited in certified check, attorney’s check or money order with the Sheriff by each bidder when his bid is registered, provided that in no case shall less than Six Hundred Dollars ($600.00) be deposited, otherwise upon failure or refusal to make such deposit, the bidder shall lose all benefit of his bid and the property may be offered again and sold unless a second bid has been registered, then, the second highest bidder will take the property at the highest bid price.

Additionally, where there is active bidding, the highest bidder, and the second highest bidder, if any must post the entire amount of the cost of the distribution policy for the property at the time of sale by certified check, attorney’s check or money order with the Sheriff. The Sheriff reserves the right to reject any certified check, attorney’s check or money order that on its face has an expired use date and is presented for payment of the deposit.

The balance of the purchase money must be deposited in certified check, attorney’s check or money order together with a Deed poll for execution by the highest bidder to the Sheriff at his office within 30 days from the time of the sale. An extension of time for an additional 30 days may be granted at the discretion of the Sheriff upon receipt of written request from the buyer requesting the same, except when a second bidder has been duly registered. Also, if the first bidder does not complete settlement with the Sheriff within the thirty (30) day time limit and a second bid was registered at the sale, the second bidder shall be granted the same thirty (30) day time limit to make settlement with the Sheriff on his second bid. Thereafter, the Sheriff shall be at liberty to return the writ to court. A second bid must be registered on any property immediately after it is sold. The second bidder must present the same amount of deposit that the highest bidder delivers to the Sheriff at the sale.

An extension of time under no circumstances will be granted or honored by the Sheriff whenever a second bid is registered on a property at the sale.

The first bid or opening bid on each property shall be set by the City of Philadelphia. In no event will the successful bidder be allowed to settle on the property unless all the Sheriff’s costs are paid notwithstanding the final bid.

The deposit by any bidder who fails to comply with the above conditions of sale shall be forfeited and the funds will

be applied to the Sheriff’s cost, then to any municipal claims that the City of Philadelphia has on the property. Finally, if a balance still remains, a Sheriff’s Distribution Policy will be ordered and the money will be distributed accordingly.

No personal checks, drafts or promises to pay will be accepted in lieu of certified checks, attorney’s checks or money orders made payable to the Sheriff of Philadelphia County.

The Sheriff reserves the right to grant further extensions of time to settle and further reserves the right to refuse bids from bidders who have failed to enter deposits on their bids, failed to make settlement, or make fraudulent bids, or any other behavior which causes disruption of the Sheriff Sale.

Said bidders shall be so refused for the sale in which said behavior occurred and for said further period of time as the Sheriff in his discretion shall determine.

The Sheriff will not acknowledge a deed poll to any individual or entity using an unregistered fictitious name and may, at his discretion, require proof of identity of the purchaser or the registration of fictitious names. The bid of an unregistered fictitious name shall be forfeited as if the bidder failed to meet the terms of sale.

All bidders are advised to remain at the sale until after the last property is sold. The Sheriff reserves the right to re-sell any property at any time before the end of the sale, upon the successful bidders’ failure to tender the required deposit. The Sheriff reserves the right to postpone or stay the sale of any property in which the attorney on the writ has not appeared and is not present at the sale.

Prospective purchasers are directed to the Web site of the Philadelphia Bureau of Revision of Taxes, (BRT) brtweb. phila.gov for a fuller description of the properties listed.

Properties can be looked up by the BRT number – which should be cross checked with the address. Prospective purchasers are also directed to the Room 154 City Hall, 215686-1483 and to its website philadox.phila.gov and to its website at http://philadox.phila.gov where they can view the deed to each individual property and find the boundaries of the property. PROSPECTIVE PURCHASERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR DETERMINING THE NATURE, LOCATION, CONDITION AND BOUNDARIES OF THE PROPERTIES THEY SEEK TO PURCHASE. The BRT # refers to a unique number assigned by the City Bureau of Revision of Taxes to each property in the City for the purpose of assessing it for taxes. This number can be used to obtain descriptive information about the property from the BRT website. Effective Date: July 7, 2006 NOTICE OF SCHEDULE OF DISTRIBUTION The Sheriff will file in his office, The Land Title Building, 100 South Broad Street, 5th Floor, a Schedule of Distribu-

tion Thirty (30) Days from the date of the sale of Real Estate.

Distribution will be made in accordance with the Schedule unless exceptions are filed thereto within ten (10) days thereafter.

The name first appearing in each notice is that of the defendant in the writ whose property is being sold. All Writs are Writs of Executions.

The letters C.P., Court of Common Pleas; O.C., Orphans’ Court; Q.S., Court of Quarter Sessions; C.C., County Court indicate the Court out of which the writ of execution issues under which the sale is made: S. 1941. 223. means September Term, 1941. 223, the term and number of the docket entry; the figures following show the amount of debt; and the name following is that of the attorney issuing the writ.

Attention is called to the provisions of Act No.104, approved July 27, 1955, which requires owners of properties which are used, designed or intended to be used by three or more families, or of commercial establishments which contain one or more dwelling units, to deliver to the buyers of such properties a use registration permit at the time of settlement, under certain terms and conditions.

Sheriff Sales are not subject to provisions of the said Act and the Sheriff will, therefore, not deliver use registration permits in connection with any sales conducted by him.

Very truly yours, JEWELL WILLIAMS Sheriff City and County of Philadelphia
