Philly’s “Subway Therapy” doesn’t stick

A

great concept copied from New York’s Union Station didn’t catch in Philly; and you know what?

It’s sad. Dubbed the “Subway Therapy” movement, a collection of post-it notes offered the aspirations from random residents on their vision for the future.

In NYC, the idea was so powerful in the wake of the recent election, the historical society decided to preserve the notes, but here in Philly, the collection that littered the subway station at 16th and JFK (right, above) didn’t stick. In fact as of Monday, we were only able to find one lone blue post-it note that read: Peace.

Which in this case, if you think about it, is kinda literal and figurative, no?

people who protested Trump’s Executive ban around Terminal A, at the

Philadelphia International Airport last weekend

The decision-making of Donald Trump has made it a busy week for Mayor Jim Kenney and his press corps, forcing all to feverishly respond to a blizzard of presidential orders by the newly minted leader of the free world.

Monday, Jan. 23 “While I concur with the President’s decision not to proceed with the TPP without a plan to support the middle class jobs that would likely be lost as a result, I’m deeply disappointed in his decision to reinstate the Mexico City policy. It will hurt women’s healthcare across the globe, especially in communities where [maternal] mortality rates remain unconscionably high. I urge him to reconsider his decision.”

—Kenney on Trump’s decision to pull out of the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement.

Thursday, Jan. 26 “President Trump’s false statements today were an insult to the men and women of the Philadelphia police force—the very same men and women who are working long hours today to ensure his safety…”

—Kenney’s miffed response to Trump calling the murder rate in Philadelphia as “terribly increasing” despite the rate actually dropping year-over-year.

Saturday, Jan. 28 “I am sickened by reports that federal officials, without knowledge or cooperation of PHL Airport staff, detained and then turned away two Syrian families...The Trump administration very well may have just given these families a death sentence...Banning immigrants and refugees is not only unjustifiably cruel, it also puts Americans at home and serving abroad at great risk...we are enabling anti-American radicalization and endangering the lives of many.

—Kenney on Trump’s executive order to ban entry into the United States to seven specific nations in the Middle East, among them war-ravaged Syria.

Sunday, Jan. 29 “I am so grateful to all those who worked to see these two new Americans released and reunited with their families...While we will have to continue to work to see this order completely defeated, this is an important victory against hate.”

—Kenney on the release of two Syrian detainees at Philadelphia International Airport.

tudent entrepreneurs from four different Philly high schools sick of the same-old snacks unveiled a new item Monday called “Rebel Crumbles,” a breakfast cake chock full of fruit, whole grains and other spices. The cakes are the first student-created food product that will be packaged and mass produced to every cafeteria in the school district.

When asked why the students came up with the concept—one that took over a year to craft—the answer from Bartram senior A’Nya Pollard was classic: “Sometimes when you think of something as healthy, you think it’s gonna be nasty,” Pollard told NBC10. “So... we made something that’s going to be healthy and also delicious.”

Amen, A’Nya. Amen.

Growing the GOP Does Trump act as friend or foe in Republican fight to grow party in Philadelphia?

ing to be a long time before Republicans can become competitive in citywide races again.

“I don’t think there’s a two-year plan,” McCann said. “I think there’s a 15-20 year plan. I don’t think that’s sexy to people, but a plan is a plan.”

hilly’s Republican Party wants to make the two-party system great again. But it’s not entirely clear whether the state of the national party will help or hurt their cause.

President Donald Trump’s whirlwind first week in office began with a measuring contest of inauguration crowd photographs and ended with a jackboot executive order that barred refugees as well as persons from seven predominantly Muslim countries, including prevetted green card holders, from entering U.S. soil. Millions protested through the streets across the country, condemning Trump and his first round of policy moves. And just eight days into his term, a Gallup poll had Trump’s disapproval rating spiking above 50 percent.

Meanwhile in Philadelphia, Republican leaders are confident. Let’s wait and see, they say. Some even recall darker days.

“Honestly, I’ve never been through a tougher time than the George W. Bush years. Nothing will compare to the national disconnect within the party,” says Brian McCann, a 32-year-old Republican ward leader in Northeast Philly.

“This is easy compared to that.”

But what Trump does will undoubtedly affect the Philly GOP’s long-term growth plan, which is spearheaded by party chairman Joe DeFelice.

DeFelice wants to build a unique urban identity for his party, one that’s rooted in but distinct from the tunings of the national party. While they want to expand their traditionally white working-class bases in Northeast and South Philadelphia, DeFelice is quick to note that half of his staff identifies as LGBT. He has a small yet committed cadre of Republican leaders from minority communities, who are doing everything from launching a caucus of black ward leaders to getting the party a bigger role in the city’s one-party table.

DeFelice notes that the registration gap has shrunk from an 8-1 Democratic

edge to 6.8-1. Undoubtedly a “thanks to the Trump effect” during the election season.

Philly Republicans voted overwhelmingly for Trump in last year’s primary election and then again in the general.

Not everyone is a loyalist. But right now, both loyalists and skeptics alike have plenty of advice-tinged hopes for the next few years.

“Keep the focus on jobs and public safety,” says Republican State Rep. Martina White from Northeast Philly.

“Bring prosperity back to urban America,” says Calvin Tucker, chairman of the Philadelphia Black Republican Council and the Republican leader of the 22nd Ward.

“Get some more minorities in your executive cabinet,” says Malik Boyd, a Republican convert who just three years ago was president of Philadelphia Young Democrats.

“I’m planning on holding President Trump accountable, believe that; the same way I hold Senator [Pat] Toomey accountable,” says Daphne Goggins, Republican leader of the 16th Ward in North Philadelphia. “These Republicans that don’t want to come into the black community, you will hear about it from me.”

If Trump loses focus, particularly with his economic message, it could accordingly have an impact on the local GOP’s plans to break out in a Democratic town.

“What they have to find is a way to have the best of both worlds,” says Larry Ceisler, a veteran political analyst.

“They have to be able to take advantage of whatever he does well, and they have to be able to be an opposition party that isn’t debilitated by what Trump does nationally. It’s hard. The deck is really stacked against them to a certain degree.”

Latching on to successes in infrastructure and job growth will be the easy part. The harder litmus test will be if

Philly Republicans have to contend with a controversial administration that can’t deliver on bread-and-butter campaign promises.

So what would make them tell America’s 70-year-old president that he’s gone too far—(or in some cases) not far enough?

Turn down the Twitter volume For some Republican ward leaders reached by PW, it would be failure to enact tax reform, boost middle-class job growth, or find a viable replacement for the Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare). For Boyd, it would be any infringement on civil rights and free speech, from the assembly rights of Black Lives Matter protesters to the freedom of the press. McCann murmured about nuclear war. One guy just wants Trump to turn down his Twitter volume.

“Look, Donald Trump is going to continue to say ridiculous things that upset people and offend people,” says Darin Bartholomew, a 25-year-old Republican who is active with the 5th Ward.

Bartholomew and some of his fellow millennial Republicans stood staunchly against Trump during the primary. On more than one occasion, Trump’s words got deep under his skin. But at the end of the day, Bartholomew says that the party needs to keep its priorities on the struggling working class.

“I don’t know as a party what that dealbreaker point is, but for me personally, I want him to move past what’s been a week—and a whole campaign— of soundbites. I want us to take on real immigration reform. He needs to get beyond the 140-character talking points.”

Perhaps because of the uncertainty, however, local Republican leaders are trying to keep the emphasis on the axiom that “all politics is local.” They need to focus on running candidates who can win elections. And realistically, it’s go-

Getting back to winning ways High-water marks for the Philly GOP have been few and far between. The closest the city came to a Republican mayor in the last 60 years was when Democrat James Tate beat Republican Arlen Specter in a very close 1967 mayoral race, and then Frank Rizzo’s close loss in 1987, and then with Sam Katz against John Street.

Prior to that, aside from mandated minority party seats on City Council and other citywide offices, the last Republican to win an open citywide election was Ron Castille, who was elected district attorney in 1985 and re-elected in ‘89 before resigning to run for mayor in 1991.

Meanwhile, the party has been content to build patronage in the city’s courts, in the Philadelphia Parking Authority, and securing other city contracts. “They’ve been a compliant partner,” Ceisler notes.

More recently, the party has found success by leveraging the toxic infighting within the city’s Democratic party to their advantage. In 2015, political neophyte Martina White won a special election in the Northeast in large part due to a splintered Democratic leadership in the area. White was then elected to her first full term last year, besting the Democratic voter edge in her district.

“We recently re-elected State Reps.

White and [John] Taylor by more than 10 points in districts that are more than 2-1 Democrat,” DeFelice said. “Those two reps have passed more bills in the last two years than the entire Philadelphia Democrat delegation combined.”

DeFelice also spoke ambitiously about winning an upcoming special election to replace convicted State Rep. Leslie Acosta in a North Philly district that is crippled by Democratic fission.

But the party’s success rates in minority neighborhoods have been slim, even when running candidates of color. With anxieties about the Trump administration’s intentions toward minority communities—from threats of martial law to amped up deportation efforts—Democrats have an easy argument to make.

Nonetheless, Boyd says that the party needs to make progress in baby steps.

“I don’t expect the Philly GOP to be superheroes,” he says of the party’s minority outreach. “I just expect them to be present and listen, so that when there is an opportunity, we can present a platform that makes sense.”

The care and feeding of America’s protest movements.

T

his is a column about food and politics. You might think, just two weeks into Trump’s America, that only one of these things matters right now. But President Trump’s attacks on the FDA and USDA suggest that telling the truth about food is a subversive act—and the truth is, you can’t resist with an empty belly.

America’s proud traditions of protest have a culinary history, too.

Bringing soup past the guns

In 1919, Seattle went on strike—literally, the whole city. World War I had just ended, but shipyard workers’ wages were still frozen. Thirty-five thousand of them walked out—and with them went unorganized workers, including Japanese-American workers who were excluded from unions because of racism. Soon the whole city was in the streets, inspired by the Russian Revolution two years before. They shut down the city government and created their own counter-government, according to Brooklyn-based activist Leia Petty, and that meant feeding the city: “The most complicated job involved feeding the strikers and residents of Seattle. The milk wagon drivers established 35 neighborhood milk stations across the city. The restaurant workers immediately moved into action, opening 21 eating places at a very low price.

By the end, they were serving 34,000 meals per day.”

In the 1930s, too, strikes and protests were at an all-time high as ordinary people suffered the effects of the Great Depression. One of the most famous

was the 1936-37 General Motors sitdown strike in Flint, Michigan. Tired of low wages and terrible working conditions, workers in Fisher Body Plant 1 sat down on the factory floor and refused to work. Soon the strike spread to other, bigger plants.

According to Genora Dollinger, a woman who participated in the Flint strike, picket lines were established and also a big kitchen in the south end of Flint, across from the large Fisher 1 plant. Every day, gallons and gallons of food were prepared, and anybody who was on the picket lines would get a ticket with notification that they had served on the line so they’d be able to get a good hot meal… They brought a restaurant man from Detroit to help organize this huge kitchen. They were the ones who made all of those good meals.”

Since the low-paid workers often raised a few subsistence crops to get by, families donated homegrown vegetables to the strike kitchens. The challenge was getting all that food into the plants, which the workers occupied for about six weeks, living together on the factory floor while the National Guard patrolled outside with machine guns.

Dollinger recalled, “I started talking to one of these young boys and his finger was actually trembling on that trigger. We didn’t fool around with them because they were all excited. They thought this was a big adventure - what the hell, shooting a couple of people.

It was war. But the governor declared that the strikers were to be fed.” Supporters—mostly women—guarded the picket lines with cars and baseball bats so that workers could get out and cross over to the strike kitchen for supplies.

“They could even have their families come into the plant for a little while and get them back out again through the big front windows, because they were guarded by the union.”

The right to a seat at the lunch counter Food also played a huge role in the African American civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s; one of the first major challenges to segregation came when four college freshmen sat defiantly at a Woolworth’s lunch counter in North Carolina and ordered a cup of coffee. They sat for hours, waiting for that coffee, while racists jeered and spit on them. The sit-ins spread; Martin Luther King Jr. was arrested in Atlanta while participating in one in 1960. Food remained central; Paschal’s in Atlanta became the “unofficial headquarters” of a movement in which meals came to represent mutual care among communities that faced horrific violence and repression.

More recently, many of us here in Philly remember the communal kitchen that fed protestors and any hungry Philadelphians for free during Occupy Philly in 2011. That year, protestors in Egypt’s Tahrir Square even sent pizza to protesting union members in Wisconsin in a moving act of international solidarity. Ian’s, a pizzeria in Madison, began using the blackboard behind its counter to track the donations it received from around the world: “Korea, Finland, New Zealand, Egypt, Denmark, Australia, U.S., Canada, Germany, China, England, Netherlands, Turkey, Switzerland, Italy,” it read.

Feeding the resistance Six days into the Trump presidency, as the Donald himself made his way to Philly for a Republican “strategy session,” I came home from dropping my daughter at school and ran into my neighbor. He was headed to work—with a protest sign tucked under his arm, carefully protected from the rain. “This is my first protest ever,”

he told me, adding that his 5-year-old daughter was inside working on a sign of her own. A few days later, he and I marched side by side at the airport in protest of the travel ban.

He’s not the only one: between last week’s Women’s Marches and the many local actions popping up all over the country, lots of Americans are stepping into the streets for the first time.

So what can we do to feed them and keep the resistance healthy and growing?

Bring one to eat and one to share.

Headed out to speak your mind? Remember to bring a granola bar but don’t just bring one. Pop a second portable snack into your bag to share with anyone you meet who might need it.

This goes for water, too!

If you can’t march, contribute. So you want to be there, but your boss has different ideas about how you should spend your Thursday? You can always contribute to organizations, but if you want to do something with an immediate local impact, swing by the nearest picket line or occupied building (it’s happening at Purdue right now; it’ll happen here soon enough!) with a case of bottled water. If the protest has a stable location, you can even prepay for pizzas to be delivered (check with organizers first, so they know to keep an eye out).

Host a dinner. The tradition of feeding one another is all about care, so try inviting some people to your home for dinner: friends, neighbors, maybe even someone you’ve just met and would like to know better. This doesn’t have to be fancy—in my family we make meatballs, but you can make a casserole or set up a taco bar or declare a potluck. The point is to gather for some hugs, caring company, and strategizing about what to do next. If you can, invite a mix of first-timers and experienced organizers, so that new energy and seasoned knowledge can both be part of the conversation. This is where ideas are born.

Join an organization. If you’re not sure how to resist the Trump administration, don’t worry: Philly is full of people who’ve been working for years against racism and xenophobia and for LGBTQ rights, reproductive rights, disability rights, and so much more.

From the Philly Coalition for REAL Justice to Philly Socialists to Juntos to Students for Justice in Palestine to Jewish Voice for Peace, there are plenty of groups you can join to educate yourself and plug into existing efforts. So get to a meeting—and bring some donuts or pretzels to nourish everyone’s activist spirits.

Philly,

By Way of Harlem The photography of Dawoud Bey dazzles at Philly’s African-American Museum.

place.

The women in fur coats and the bowtied men in high-waisted pants could have just finished a Sunday church service in 1930s West Philadelphia. That barber in the white linen coat could pose in any storefront barber shop along old Columbia Avenue, now known as Cecil B. Moore Avenue. And the five children sharing coy smiles, one could almost place them in South Philly west of Broad Street at any point in the 20th century.

But in all of these iterations, you’d be 40 years and 100 miles from the subjects’ real home: New York City’s Harlem in the mid-1970s.

The subtle magic of Harlem, USA, Bey’s travelling suite of 25 photographs—currently on display at the African American Museum of Philadelphia (701 Arch St.)—offers once-familiar, time-faded documentation of black America, particularly in the northeast region.

Bey’s photographs will soon share AAMP’s museum space with another photo series, Shawn Theodore’s Church of Broken Pieces, which examines the “translocation of black America.” An opening reception will be held Thursday Feb. 2. Both exhibits will run through Black History Month and remain on display until April 2.

Brittany Webb, a curatorial and research assistant at AAMP, notes that the locales of Bey’s Harlem—the barber shop, the barbeque joint, the church—could bring any Philadelphian back to a personal encounter.

“It’s not just the barber shop,

but your barber. Not just the lunch counter, but your sandwich guy,” Webb says. “It is Harlem, USA—not Harlem, New York. It’s a kind of Anywhere, USA.” Meanwhile, other scenes, like tent revival meetings, might be lost on the younger viewer, but it’s these even finer details of Bey’s masterful portraits that convey just how much time has passed.

The Isley Brothers poster on a streetlight.

The vernacular architecture.

The jheri curl.

The change has little context outside of individual memory, however.

As Bey notes in the introduction to his exhibit, it’s in “the relationships and the lives of these people” that the photos find their deeper meaning.

But it’s hard to understate the social and historical significance of these photos.

Recently, Bey exhibited a redux series of large-scale color photographs that examine many of the same locales from his 1970s Harlem.

Unlike the original series, warm bodies are not the main subject. Now, there are construction sites where

the barber shops used to be. There are white tourists passing by today’s black churches.

Similar to many Philadelphia neighborhoods, New York City’s Harlem is being transformed by gentrification, real estate speculation and shifting demographics.

Over the next two months, AAMP hopes to engage its Philadelphia audience in the conversation about documenting their own neighborhoods.

Modern camera culture would have been unfathomable to the denizens of Harlem 40 years ago, when Bey was lugging a hefty single-lens reflex camera. People stop and pose. They look into the camera as a semi-foreign object.

“But anybody can photograph their neighborhood now,” Webb notes. “Even young kids—12-yearolds know angles. So I’m hoping we can do some intergenerational work around how younger people think about photography. What do you take pictures of in your neighborhood, and why? What are you posting on Instagram?”

Wake Up and Smell the Gran Gianduitto T

hey take their coffee seriously at Gran Caffe L’Aquila.

The Chestnut Street cafe and restaurant operates its own secondfloor roaster, its co-owner is a medalwinning bean man, and the entire place has been modeled on the stylish grand cafes of the owners’ homeland in the Abruzzi region of Italy. On most mornings, the place is a popular destination for Italian expatriates sipping cups of espresso and speaking with an accent you don’t often hear on the streets of Center City, yo.

It’s not exactly known for beer, however.

Which is a shame, because among the cafe’s short list of taps is a brew that reveals the pleasant things that can happen at the intersection of coffee and beer.

Sometimes, coffee-flavored beers are nothing more than that: beer that tastes like someone dumped a halfcup of Joe into your pint while clearing the table. There’s no real thought about how the bitterness of roasted beans is going to play off the flavor of malt and hops.

Gran Gianduiotto gets it right. It’s a rich, dark stout from West Chester’s Levante Brewery, a small, young brewery that ought to be getting a lot more attention from locals.

It was inspired by the Italian chocolates known as gianduiotto. If you had a grandmother who lived in a rowhouse south of Washington Avenue, you’re already familiar with these small, pyramid-like hazelnut-

flavored chocolates. They’re the ones wrapped in silver tinfoil that she used to give you after Sunday dinner, remember? If not, think Nutella.

Yes, hazelnut, vanilla, cocoa and coffee is a mouthful when it comes to beer, and it’s worth every glorious moment you’ll spend nursing a glass.

None of those flavors dominates by itself; instead, they swim together across the palate in melt-in-the-mouth goodness.

At 11 percent alcohol, this is no morning cup. I’d pair it with a cannoli.

And then consider some of the many other coffee beers on local shelves.

For example, Terrapin Brewing out of Athens, Georgia, is pushing the whole coffee-and-beer thing to a new level with its newly released series of Single Origin Coffee Brown Ale. You’ll find it in mixed four-packs with bottles featuring four different coffee types from Costa Rica, Indonesia, Ecuador (my fave) and Kenya.

With a minimally hopped brown ale as a base, the coffee flavor really steps forward. This is a beer for java junkies.

Other recommended coffee beers: Joe Coffee Porter from Philadelphia Brewing—the coffee plays off the malt nicely in this easy drinking beer made with fair trade beans.

Stone Enjoy By Coffee & Chocolate—a rare coffee-flavored IPA, released in time for Valentine’s Day. Ballast Point Mocha Marlin—a coffee-and-chocolate-flavored porter, it’s smooth with a hint of vanilla.

Victory Java Cask—a massively strong (14 percent alcohol) bourbon barrel-aged coffee stout flavored with just a hint of smoke.

Sly Fox Oslo Porter—a London-style porter made with espresso beans from Brooklyn-based roaster Oslo Coffee.

Now available on draft in area bars.

Double Nickel Belgian Brown with cascara—made with the skins of coffee beans, to produce a flavor that seems closer to tea than coffee.

SIXPACK OF THEWEEK Bigfoot Barleywine Style Ale Sierra Nevada (Chico, California) Barleywine ALCOHOL: 9.6% SIXPACK SEZ: First brewed in 1983, this is one of the original west coast hop monsters. Unlike super bitter double IPAs, though, this mythical beast has a bittersweet balance thanks to a copious malt bill. Its strength makes this an excellent candidate for cellaring; hold it for a year, and the hop flavor drops a notch, allowing mellow notes of sherry to emerge.

Three local canines have qualified for Puppy Bowl XIII, Animal Planet’s annual game-before-the-Big Game. Max, a 13-week-old pit bull mix from Center City’s Morris Animal Refuge is the second puppy in consecutive years to represent the local shelter, taking the place of “Leah,” who was crowned Puppy Bowl XII MVP. That’s right: Most Valuable Pup. Fans can meet Max at Devil’s Den in South Philly this Sunday for its Puppy Bowl viewing party, along with Chuchi, a six-month-old Chihuahua, who also hails from Morris but is on the team as a back-up-puppy. Reppin’ South Jersey is 16-week-old pug/Shih Tzu mix, Wilma.

“We are a small shelter but we are able to give so much individual attention, We give them the kindness and affection every animal deserves,” said Dana Bronzino, event coordinator of Morris Animal Rescue. “Our animals get so much care and so much affection. It’s probably what has made them go on to be Puppy Bowl champs. It’s just the individual and personalized care that makes them great.” —AUSTIN MACFADDEN Sun., Feb. 5. 2-5pm.

P

But, yeah he did not.

My theory as to why he’s ignoring it? For one, it flies in the face of his “law and order” rhetoric: This is a problem that police chiefs and public safety directors are nearly unanimous in saying “This is a problem we can’t arrest our way out of.”

Last summer, Bensalem public safety director Fred Harran said exactly that on a White House conference call. And, this is a guy who all but fancies himself the suburban equivalent of William Wallace, except instead of the British, he’s actively leading the charge against addicts and dealers.

To hear a guy like Harran get on the phone and plead for more funding and more beds instead of more power for the police to get out there and kick ass, is very telling. It’s a case of where a fight for a solution trump (pun intended) presidential blustering and simplistic rhetoric.

It may seem counter-intuitive at first, but it takes real balls to actually see through when it’s so much easier to draw battle lines and yell really loud about the problem like the hypothetical racist uncle at Thanksgiving.

We need politicians who are not afraid to accept these facts. Furthermore, it’d even be nicer when the leader of the free world comes to a town where this is a real problem, he could actually lead the charge.

Streets is Watchin’: City group gets 50k grant for security camera system

W

ould-be deviants should think twice before breaking the law in Olde Richmond Civic Association (ORCA) territory, considering the nearly 200 sets of eyes that will be watching at all times.

The association will get a $50,000 grant from the Penn Treaty Special Services District, to go toward a town watch program that includes the installation of security cameras on area streets.

The town watch was launched last February to help quell an uptick in quality-of-life crimes in the area. It has already raised $9,000 to buy security camera systems for approximately 40 homes within the civic association’s boundaries.

Its ultimate goal: Install as many as 200 cameras throughout the neighborhood, so there’s a security system on every block.

At a cost of $219 each, 150 more systems will be available for installation thanks to the grant.

Additionally, cameras are connected to in-home computers that are viewed by residents, not police.

“We don’t want to see crime ever, so if the camera system functions dually as a protective measure and a deterrent, all the better,” said Daniel Martino, a civic association member and town

watch founder. “We would like to keep as much petty crime out of our neighborhood as possible.

It’s about strengthening the community, and we can act as a liaison between the community and the police.”

Any household in the neighborhood can request a camera system that includes between two and four cameras. Homeowners pay for the installation and can add another four cameras at their own cost.

The resident is the owner of the system and the only person who can view the system’s videos (on a television, computer or phone). The community group does not have access to the system once it’s installed, and there’s no overall main viewing system.

Twenty-sixth District Capt. George Kappe said the security program is already helping solve crimes.

“We receive video from a couple sources, mainly from private residences and businesses,” Kappe said. “Cameras from within the ORCA boundaries, as well as other areas of the 26th District, have provided video that has been helpful in assisting us with a number of investigations.”

#ThePhillyEffect Emmanuel Coreano “The Philly Effect” is an ongoing series about the impact Philadelphia has made on its residents’ lives.

This week, we feature Emmanuel “Handy Manny” Coreano, 20, a recruiter for the TransHealth Information Project at GALAEI, the city’s only queer Latinx social justice organization.

“I was born and raised in North Philly until I was 17 when I saw Center City for the first time.

I didn’t know what to expect. I was raised in an extremely low-income family. I didn’t take the train.

I just went to school and came back home. The only reason I was going into the city was because I was getting involved at GALAEI. The youth coordinator took me there to explore the LGBT scene. Especially as a queer Latinx individual, you know, I didn’t know a lot about queer history. So my mentor wanted to take me to the city to let me know that I wasn’t alone.

I was like “I don’t know what the fuck this is.” I mean, I had only ever gone downtown when one of my family members was going to court. You know what I’m saying? It was never like, let’s go to Reading Terminal or let’s go to the museum or let’s go kiki at Giovanni’s Room. It was like, no, I got a court date, I have to go to Filbert Street.

Even though my home life was bad, my social life was getting better. I started getting out there and finally exploring the city. I had friends that I could go out and chill and kiki with on the weekends.

Me and a group of friends would go to Graffiti Pier [in Port Richmond] almost every weekend and just watch the river and chill there and think about our lives and where we’re headed. It became this journey of self-discovery. I think there’s a lot of places in Philly where you can find yourself—you just have to find them.

I love my city. I rep Philly wherever I go. But if there was an opportunity for me to branch out and expand my network, I’m going to take it. Because I think a lot of people need to hear the lives of people that go through the struggle firsthand. I was homeless. I’ve overcome all these issues in Philly, and that’s something I want to share and inspire people to do the same thing.”

PHILLYWEEKLY.COM

redictably, it only took moments for the media, and even Mayor Jim Kenney, to pounce on President Trump’s statement regarding the murder rate in Philadelphia. When he said the numbers have been, “terribly increasing,” all available statistics show that, at worst, the rate has actually plateaued in recent years—and is even decreasing.

However, the statement also underscores another largely unspoken criticism to be made of both—all, really—presidential candidates in last year’s election: None had the guts to talk about the country’s opioid epidemic.

You know, the complex problem with no easy solution?

That’s what truly makes the whole murder rate thing so galling, personally. This new President comes to a city where heroin is a YUGE problem.

Coming from New York, he ought to remember what a problem crack was in the 1980s—or maybe, just maybe, he was too insulated from things like that to understand or give a damn about them.

Plus, he may not recall since he was too busy taking out those full-page ads in The New York Times calling for the execution of accused murderers who were later found to be innocent.

He could have used this national platform in our town to outline a real problem that’s affecting the city and also all those rust belt and rural towns that propelled him into the White House.

SAVAGE LOVE: DAN SAVAGE

Advice Columnists Without Borders

PHILLYWEEKLY.COM

I

14

am a 26-year-old heterosexual European man. I have been for four years in a monogamous relationship with my girlfriend. Recently she cheated on me. When she told me what she did, I felt a very strong pain, even stronger than I expected. After a few days of pain, however, I found that the sexual attraction for my girlfriend, instead of decreasing, increased after her adventure. In particular, I am now having a cuckold fantasy.

I would like that she tell me everything she did, without sparing any detail, while we have sex, or that we try to play an actual cuckold game where she has sex with someone else in front of me while I give her instructions and tell her exactly what to do. My problem is that I am not sure what her reaction would be if I ask her to play out these fantasies. She feels very guilty and witnessed my pain when she told me she cheated. I fear that talking to her about these fantasies would scare her. I also fear that, as she is feeling guilty, she would say yes, but without really wanting to do this. I also don’t want her to think I liked what she did when she cheated on me. I did not like it, but I would like to relive it in a playful way, in which I have complete control. How do you think I should approach this talk? — Feeling Obsessed Replicating Treason & Dominating Adulterer Cuckolding, like all fetishes and/or fantasies, is unique to the person and adaptable within particular relationships. But it’s erotic humiliation—of the person being cheated on—that distinguishes cuckolding from hot wifing/husbanding or swinging. The cuck’s partner, aka “the cheater,” is in control, and the cuck gets off on having his nose rubbed—sometimes literally—in the evidence of his partner’s cheating.

Zooming out: Your reaction to learning you’d been cheated on—pain and shock, quickly followed by increased feelings of lust for your girlfriend—is not uncommon. It’s less common for the cheatee to eroticize the betrayal; a couple may reconnect sexually in the wake of an affair, but

rarely does a couple wind up incorporating eroticized infidelity into their sexual repertoire. But in your fantasy, you would be calling the shots, giving instructions, and telling your girlfriend what to do.

That’s definitely not a cuckold fantasy, and it may be a revenge fantasy.

But a cheating crisis presents a good opportunity for both parties to be completely honest with each other about what they want going forward. And that’s what you should do: Be completely honest. First, make sure your fantasy is an authentic impulse. Make sure this isn’t a revenge fantasy. If it’s a genuine turnon, share everything: this surprising new turn-on, your own confusion, and your legit concerns.

She might freak out. She might be into it. She might freak out and then later be into it. You can figure out the parameters later, if you decide to explore this at all, but it starts with a conversation. Good luck.

I write you from Italy, where I follow you through Internazionale. I am a guy in his 30s sexually paralyzed with his girlfriend. We are together four years, and during the last year sex has gradually faded away, leaving me alone with my skillful hand. The sexual paralysis is beginning to affect our behaviors. We don’t accept each other anymore. We are starting to mutually ignore. Verbal communication is poor. However, we are exceptional friends. I am good-looking, sociable, fit, and with plenty of semen.

Girls are quite interested, but I don’t want to cheat. I don’t believe in monogamy, but my girlfriend could never tolerate betrayal. What the fuck to do? —Literally Outta Order Penis Sometimes a relationship dies but we insist on propping the body up in a corner, and pretending it’s still alive. We do this because even if the relationship is dead, our partner isn’t. And we can’t declare the thing dead—we can’t break the fuck up already—without hurting someone we used to have romantic feelings for and may still very much like as a person.

So we tiptoe around the decomposing corpse until the stench can’t be ignored any longer.

This relationship is dead: You no longer accept each other, you ignore each other, and the sex dried up a year ago.

Even if your relationship weren’t dead— and if it isn’t dead, it’s so close you need to slap a Do Not Resuscitate order on its chart—you two aren’t a match. End the relationship, do your best to salvage the exceptional friendship, and stop letting all that semen go to waste.
