Down for the Count How many vacant lots are there in the city? No one’s quite sure. By Anthony Campisi ➤ Editor’s notE: This article is part of our ongoing series “The

Abandoned City.” How many vacant lots are there in philadelphia? The question seems so simple. The answer, however, is not. Take “40,000,” the number most frequently cited in recent news articles. That count first began to circulate widely after appearing in a study last year by Econsult. Or “24,000 to 25,000,” the number of vacant properties identified by the city’s Department of licenses & inspections in preparation for a new push to bring privately owned blighted properties into compliance, as City Paper recently reported [News, “Blight Fight,” anthony Campisi and isaiah Thompson, april 7, 2011]. But do a little digging, and you’ll find that both numbers are really only rough estimates. in fact, you’ll quickly discover a startling fact: No one knows exactly how many vacant properties there are here. and as the Nutter administration tries to come up with a comprehensive policy around vacant land, that elusive number represents a question mark in its equations. it’s a problem that community development groups, whose strategies often rely on acquiring vacant land from the city, would like to

see solved. Knowing exactly where all that property is, who owns it, and whether or not it is, in fact, vacant is essential, says rick Sauer, executive director of the philadelphia association of Community Development Corporations: “it’s awfully hard to do planning for reuse of [vacant land] if you don’t know where the vacants are,” he sums up. So why is pinning down the number and location of every vacant lot so tricky? For one thing, abandoned property is, after all, abandoned — owners don’t generally send a postcard to the city when they die or decide to walk away. The vacant land owned by the city, meanwhile, is divided between various city agencies — and the administration only just compiled and published a list of all the vacant property it owns a few months ago. But the vast majority of vacant and abandoned land — an estimated 75 percent — is in private hands. in those cases, the city and community development groups have been turning to so-called “vacancy indicators,” clues in various data sets that a property is likely vacant or abandoned. The oft-cited 40,000 estimate, for example, comes from Water Department data for properties whose water has been shut off. l&i, on the other hand, made its own list of abandoned buildings to target for code enforcement by looking for certain violations — things such “structural instability.” There are other measures: real estate tax delinquencies, maybe, or gas shut-off notices, or perhaps, undeliverable mail notices. Each yields a different list — which underscores the point that “vacancy indicators” aren’t perfect, as paCDC’s Saur points out. He thinks the 40,000 number still undercounts vacant properties. >>> continued on page 8

CatCh as CatCh Can philadelphia is, if nothing else, a city of dreamers. and of fish. and of those whose dreams revolve around fish. last weekend the city celebrated Shadfest, an event with two humble purposes: having a great time at penn Treaty park and honoring the great shad fish, once pivotal to the region, now all but gone from the delaware’s raunchy waters. in just three years, the offbeat festival has become a philly institution. and dreams, it seems, beget more dreams. among the tables at Shadfest was one manned by len albright and Jason Strohl, two men with a single mission: to organize a striped bass fishing derby. in an epic, 1,000-word press release they sent out recently, they explained that striped bass annually swim up the Schuylkill and Delaware rivers to spawn before returning to the sea. But philly has no organized contest to fish for them. On may 1, the first philadelphia Striped Bass Derby will begin (go to phillystripedbassderby.com for info). a catch-and-release contest, the derby, as its organizers see it, is about something even bigger than a really big fish: “We kind of saw it as a way for people to make a connection to philly’s rivers,” says albright. “The striped bass is a really beautiful fish, so we thought it would be a good starting point.” They’re reaching out to as diverse a crowd as they can — “There’s a huge Cambodian community that fishes down by the airport,” albright notes. “a lot of people fish the rivers but they don’t get a chance to meet each other.” “it’s only recently that the rivers were clean enough for bass and shad and herring to come up them again,” adds albright. “and

with all this fracking, you know, the rivers are under threat

again. any way to draw attention to them is really important.”

Cutting Class When only half the City Council at-large candidates show up for a public panel, busy schedules can be blamed. But what to say about the near-empty university auditorium where the forum was held? last Thursday, Temple University’s Democratic and republican groups hosted a forum with the at-large candidates on the university’s main campus. While the communications director of the College Democrats, David lopez, said the organizations reached out to all 23 candidates, only 13 said they would attend; three later changed their minds. Candidate isaiah Thomas showed up only briefly. But the more conspicuous attendance number was the public’s — the target audience being, in this case, students. Sure, the attendees outnumbered the candidates. But not by much. No more than 20 people filled the seats, including students, professors and former Mayor John F. Street, who teaches urban politics and policy at the university. lopez admitted turnout “could have been better,” but he said, “it was nice to see students” attend a local-election event. He added that the two campus organizations are making efforts to inform students about the elections and help them to register. Whether they can actually get students interested in the most fascinating local election in years is yet to be seen. —angelo Fichera

Committee of Seventy’s 7th Council District forum last Thursday, none was as strange as the unex pected invocation (as if he were some sort of political genie) of former Mayor John F. Street by candidate Dan Savage. The 7th District, currently represented by Council woman Maria QuiñonesSánchez, is profoundly gerrymandered, and proving profoundly difficult to represent. The bottom half of the district, a blob encompassing parts of Kensington, eastern North Philly and the city’s “El Centro de Oro” section, is heavily Hispanic. As the district meanders upward into Frankford, its residents skew increasingly black and then white. QuiñonesSánchez, who is Hispanic and from the lower part, faces a tough challenge from Savage, who is white and from the upper part. Get it? More complicated still, QuiñonesSánchez has been hung out to dry by local ward leaders . But while QuiñonesSánchez’s main task will be to mobilize her base, Savage appears to face a more complicated feat: He needs, or thinks he needs, to woo black voters — hence the magic lantern. The question was what to do about crime. QuiñonesSánchez touted various local successes and defended her record, saying she’d help bring every police pilot program available into the district. Savage countered that crime had not improved — in part, he asserted, because of the “relation ship between the councilwoman and the current mayor,” and then he noted, “Mayor Street had a much better drug task force” and “under Mayor Street [drug dealers] would be in jail.” Debate host Gar Joseph of the Daily News then asked whether the audience would support John Street running as an independent for councilman atlarge — to what the Daily News later reported was “a hearty round of applause.” The applause, this author confirms, was indeed hearty, but almost exclusively on the part of black audience members (including at least one boisterous committeeperson) who had come to support Savage. That was Thursday. On Monday, Mayor Michael Nutter — the same politician, we’ll point out, whom Street once said did not seem like a “black mayor” — threw his support behind QuiñonesSánchez along with Congressman Chaka Fattah. That race matters in big city politics is not shock ing. Still, these tidbits offer glimpses into how com plicated and convoluted Philly’s racial politics can get. Take, for example, another political bottled genie: Schools Superintendent Arlene Ackerman. Last week, this author mentioned a candidates’ >>> continued on page 8

What’s needed, they say, is a street-bystreet, block-byblock inventory. Sauer and others are calling for a simpler approach, if also a more massive one. What’s needed, they say, is a street-by-street, block-byblock inventory of every lot in the city. “It’s a major undertaking, but it’s something that would be worth [doing] over the summer,” says Sauer. John Kromer agrees. He was the city’s housing director when Ed Rendell was mayor and is currently running for sheriff. The city’s property records are in “serious need of updating,” he says, and the single best approach would be to have workers — interns, perhaps — literally walk down every street in the city, verifying vacancy information with their own eyes. “It’s not that hard,” Kromer insists, pointing out that a graduate student he recruited to take such an inventory of Southwest Center City competed the job, alone, in 10 days. And even if the administration won’t undertake a citywide inventory, it could at least do it in specific neighborhoods where the city and Community Development Corporations have plans to tackle the vacancy problem. But Deputy Managing Director Bridget Collins-Greenwald, who is helping lead the city’s policy review on vacant properties, says

the manpower just doesn’t exist for such an approach and that the Econsult study has provided enough information to work with. The main obstacle to compiling an accurate, authoritative list is, not surprisingly, limited resources and competing priorities. Still, just how important is it to have an accurate count? Collins-Greenwald argues that it would be better to focus on tackling other aspects of the vacantproperty problem. For example, the administration has yet to come out with a streamlined process for selling city-owned properties to private developers; and agencies like L&I will be busy enough trying to enforce code violations among the 20,000-odd properties they believe to be vacant. And yet, it’s hard to see how any of those goals can be met entirely until the city knows exactly what it’s got — blight, after all, only breeds more blight. (editorial@citypaper.net)

forum held for residents of the 2nd Council District (South Philly west of Broad, currently represented by Councilwoman Anna Verna), at which candidates Barbara Capozzi, state Rep. Kenyatta Johnson and Damon K. Roberts sat down to answer questions. While they differed little on most issues, they seemed to occupy opposite worlds when it came to one question in particular: “How do you feel about the performance of Schools Superintendent Arlene Ackerman?” Capozzi, who is white, said that she could “never, ever, forgive the way she handled [South Philadelphia High School].” Johnson and Roberts, who are both black, answered differently: “I support Dr. Arlene Ackerman,” said Johnson. “I know it’s an uphill battle she’s fighting.” Roberts split the difference, but not quite evenly. Ackerman has made “some mistakes,” he said, “but I don’t know any one of us who hasn’t made mistakes.” Interestingly, at another candidates’ forum for the 1st Council District that was being held just a few blocks away, none of the four candidates voiced support for Ackerman. They were all white. Did I mention that another Street — mayoral candidate T. Milton Street — recently called on Mayor Nutter to “take a stand” on Ackerman because of his “lack of visible support” for her? Street, in the same press release, didn’t express outright support himself but said he could “imagine it must be stressful and troubling” for Ackerman’s private tax troubles to be discussed publicly. (isaiah.thompson@citypaper.net) ➤ IN A CITY where Democrats outnumber Republicans six

to one, the GOP has no choice but to court liberals if it wants

a slice of the electorate pie. No surprise, then, that at a Republican at-large candidates forum last Wednesday, several politicians seemed to inch closer and closer to the left as the sun went down. Candidates Steve Odabashian and David Oh admitted that they had voted for President Barack Obama. Michael Untermeyer, meanwhile, called himself a “moderate.” State Rep. Denny O’Brien voiced concern over Gov.Tom Corbett’s proposed school cuts. And Oh conceded that it was “possible” he’d support Councilwoman Marian Tasco — who’s enrolled in that fourletter word DROP — for president. A few at-large candidates, including Oh, said they support collective bargaining, and Oh also acknowledged campaign contributions from several unions, prompting moderator Larry Mendte (yes, that Larry Mendte) to quip, “Which came first, the chicken or the egg?” Some audience members were unnerved by such moderate opinions. But no one was quite as mad as Republican mayoral candidate John Featherman. He later told City Paper he was “aghast” at candidates who voted for Obama, and was bummed that some front-runners “were acting more like moderate Democrats than Republicans.” (holly.otterbein@citypaper.net)

[ movie review ]

The Double hour [ B ] Giuseppe Capotandi’s sumptuous, sexy thriller twists itself in knots try-

Two of the greatest composers who ever lived, Mozart and Bach, wrote completely within the styles of their time, with little interest in technical innovation. Both were content with merely perfecting the state of the art. Then there was Beethoven and Stravinsky, who threw thunderbolts of inspiration but remained rooted in certain traditions. In the second half of the 20th century, a new aesthetic arose, espoused by such figures as Boulez, Babbitt, Stockhausen and Ligeti, in which newness was a goal in its own right. Babbitt’s infamous taunt was: Who cares if you listen? At best, this approach could lead to works of astonishing, ear-pricking novelty. But it also forced a crisis in music, repelling audiences by the droves, and eventually leading to a neo-Romantic return to tonal composition, from artists who did care if we listened. As in so many things, the stylistic pendulum in music is always swinging, and the flood of pandering pablum that purports to pass for real music has rekindled an interest in adventuresome writing. A rapt audience got a bracing dose of such stuff a couple of weeks ago when the Network for New Music presented a program including music by Japaneseborn, British-based composer Dai Fujikura, including a new piece written for the ensemble. I had the opportunity to chat with Fujikura the day of the concert. He is a charming and low-key fellow with some provocative ideas. He acknowledges the importance of Debussy and Takemitsu in contemporary Japanese music, but when I asked him what it meant to be a Japanese composer, he said he did not know how to answer. Yet he has a conception of what Japanese music sounds like, because whenever he detects such a quality in his own writing, he immediately rips it out. The two works played by Network — Okeanos Breeze for mixed ensemble, and Halcyon for clarinet and strings — were all about sound and texture. Large gestures and oozing shapes took the place of traditional melodic construction. Okeanos Breeze included several western instruments, but also a koto, and the wonderful thousand-year-old reed instrument, the sho. Of course, Fujikura used them in completely un-idiomatic ways. This guy has a subversive streak that is highly compelling. Keep an ear out for his extraordinary music. (p_burwasser@citypaper.net)

ing to wrong-foot its audience — and succeeds, at least for a time. italo-Slovenian chambermaid Sonia (Kseniya rappoport) meets widowed ex-cop Guido (Filippo Timi) at a speed-dating session and it’s love, or something, at first sight. But after the art-stuffed mansion he guards is ransacked by a group of well-informed thieves, it becomes clear their relationship isn’t as it seems. indeed, almost nothing is. The Double Hour is obsessed with surveillance, overhead cameras and longrange microphones, and the way patterns repeat themselves in unobserved ways; the title comes from the moments when hours and minutes numerically coincide, a minor reflection that slips by 24 times a day. Capotandi and his three screenwriters stuff the film back-to-front with recurring lines and shots, creating an eerie sense of déjà vu and a feeling of looming expectation they never quite pay off. rappoport and Timi have an easy rapport and a natural feel that lends a hint of depth to their under-conceived characters. you feel as if you could watch these two talk about nothing all day. in a sense, they’re more intriguing than the story they’re caught up in, less twisted on the surface but harboring depths the film only dips a toe in. The movie vacillates between a compelling social-realist romance and a well-shot but mechanical labyrinth of plot; either might work on its own, but they don’t fit together smoothly. The Double Hour isn’t so contrived that its machinations become tiresome, but after a while, you feel as if you’re being spun in circles, left to stumble woozily in the dark. Tat radcliffe’s lighting evokes moody pools of light and shadow, but the movie’s ample atmosphere never coalesces into something you can wrap your hands around. —Sam Adams

REGULATIONS FOR ALL Regarding Holly Otterbein’s story about potential ulterior motives in a state bill about abortion clinics [“Hiding in Plain Sight,” April 21], citypaper.net commenter aaron678 writes: “I am a pro-choice supporter, and I see what the author is trying to say in this article. Nonetheless, I fail to see why there should be different standards for abortion clinics than other medical facilities. The issue at stake here is bigger than abortion. That is, regulating abortion can be called a ‘tactic … used against low-income women’ if and only if health care regulation in general can be called a tactic that is being used against low-income citizens.” THE PROMISED BLAND Otterbein’s profile of ramshackle Italian Market vendor John Banks and the possible efforts to get rid of him [“Very Strong Bags,” April 21] caused Tim McMahon to send an email full of indignation. “It has been a long time since I’ve read anything that has made me as mad as [South 9th Street Business Men’s Association representative] Cookie Ciliberti’s comments in ‘Very Strong Bags.’ Her stance optimizes what I would describe as ‘evil.’ In her attempt to rebrand the Italian Market by ‘cleaning’ it up and developing an iPhone app, she completely misses the mark, and rather than doing Philly a service, she embraces the soulless and boring, lifeless and bland aspirations of the suburbs which the rest of us are trying so hard to avoid. The Italian Market is so wondrous exactly BECAUSE of its unpredictable and organic nature, and iconic and interesting people like

John Banks making their living outside the soul-crushing corporate model.” DIS LOCATION The video of the April 21 7th Council District debate that Isaiah Thompson posted on our “Naked City” blog earned this response from online commenter AngelR: “I thought Danny Savage did a great job last night at the debate. He did extremely well considering it was an obvious set-up once things got started, besides being in Sanchez’s backyard. Why not pick a ‘neutral’ place so more people from the 7th could easily attend?” We say to all of you, attend those candidate forums — and keep reading and responding to our ElectionEar coverage in print and at citypaper.net/blogs/nakedcity.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you say tourist attraction, then thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what happens,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That person behind the stand becomes an object, just like the fruit theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re selling. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not real people who are going through real things.â&#x20AC;? Her exhibit with Rocco sheds light on the people behind the produce by profiling vendors along Ninth Street. Mixing archival family photographs, Roccoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s portraiture and Ortizâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s design work, the images in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Different Pathsâ&#x20AC;? were printed to large sheets of vinyl and hung at their corresponding merchantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stand, replacing the worn tarps flapping in the wind. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not about my big artwork on the spaces,â&#x20AC;? Ortiz says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really about telling people who walk through here to look past tomatoes and celery and look past the grittiness of the market, to realize people who create the spirit of the space and recognize the struggle they had to endure.â&#x20AC;?

tattered vinyl awning covering Scott & Judyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chinese Groceries. The proprietors are replenishing inventory on the curbside produce stand of their South Ninth Street business, sweeping the sidewalk and chatting with customers, when muralist Michelle Angela Ortiz and photographer Tony Rocco approach. Judy Tran smiles, convivially embracing Ortiz, and the two go indoors to gather paperwork; her husband shakes Roccoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hand, offers a friendly hello and gets back to work. The artists didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always receive such a warm reception. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t speak to me until maybe about a month ago,â&#x20AC;? Rocco confides. He and Ortiz had been visiting the vendors along Ninth Street since December 2009, conducting interviews, shooting photographs and gathering stories for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Different Paths, One Market,â&#x20AC;? their Mural Arts exhibit being installed this week. Later on, tucked inside Anthonyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Italian Coffee House up the street, Rocco says he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t begrudge the Transâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; reluctance to open up. His voice is warm, his delivery pointed as he explains that working with the vendors on this project gave him â&#x20AC;&#x153;an appreciation of how many cameras get stuck in their face every day. If you just sit right here and look outside â&#x20AC;&#x201D; every Photo 1 student in Philadelphia walks by the Italian Market to take pictures. And theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in your face about it, totally. So then you can imagine how, after we come and want to do the same thing â&#x20AC;Ś â&#x20AC;? His frankness is distinctively South Philly, and indeed, Rocco, 41, grew up at Fifth and Morris. But heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right: The market is something of an attraction for tourists and those in search of â&#x20AC;&#x153;local color.â&#x20AC;? It draws thousands of daily visitors from the suburbs, around the region, around the country â&#x20AC;&#x201D; folks who want to gawk at the street Rocky went running down, then grab some pepperoni bread from Sarconeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a practical destination, a place for neighborhood residents to grocery shop (like Ortiz, 32, who grew up at 10th and League, and still lives nearby), or for local restaurants to gather supplies. On another level, the market is a gateway for new immigrants to establish themselves and their families in the United States. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s historically held this role, for the Jewish and Italian merchants of the early 20th century and for the Mexican and Vietnamese vendors doing the same thing today. Ortiz rattles off facts and anecdotes in a breathless, energetic voice. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gregarious and passionate about her neighborhood, and bristles at the notion of its merchants gaining their foothold in a new country while, in a way, being on display.

â&#x20AC;&#x201D; ranging from animations of old photographs to poetry collections placed in decorated honor boxes along East Passyunk â&#x20AC;&#x201D; seek to document the immigrant experience in a section of the city thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an entry point to the country. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something about which Rocco and Ortiz have firsthand knowledge. Both are first-generation children of immigrants, Colombian on their mothersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; side. Roccoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mom used to drag him shopping on Ninth Street every weekend as a child; she saw in the market remembrances of home. Ortizâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mom worked at Giordano and Giordano Produce for 25 years; she saw in the market opportunity. After finishing our drinks, we head to Triple Play Sports, an apparel and printing shop at Ninth and Christian, so Ortiz and Rocco can pick up a proof of the tarp intended for Anthonyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Coffee. The artists hold it up to the window and nod with satisfaction. Ortiz designed the images with the color palette of the market in mind: dark chestnut reds, olive greens and grays, muted tangerines. Backlit by the sky, the colors pop even on this overcast afternoon. On a sunny day, the work will positively glow.

The images were created through a lengthy process of information-gathering and editing. Ortiz and Rocco spoke with some 20 subjects along Ninth Street about their business and their familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s path to America. They met with varying degrees of willingness. A few, like fruit vendor Mary Messina, would consent only to an audio interview. Others allowed them to record video as the two asked questions. Later, Rocco returned to shoot their portraits. From these initial interviews, Ortiz and Rocco chose a demographic cross-section to profile further, through the tarps. They wanted to show the diversity of the space â&#x20AC;&#x201D; despite the name it commonly goes by, the market is not exclusively Italian (the Pennsylvania Historical & Museum Commission marker at Christian Street calls it the â&#x20AC;&#x153;9th Street Curb Marketâ&#x20AC;?). They sought to bring out the stories of the African, Chinese, Mexican and Vietnamese vendors, as well as Italians who perhaps have not told their stories. You can rattle off famous names like Di Bruno Bros., Ortiz points out, but you might not think as immediately of Carmen Lerro, a fruit vendor and the fourth generation of his family to work the strip. Eight vendors were chosen for profiling in the tarps, and Rocco and Ortiz returned to each for follow-up interviews. Upon revisiting, the subjects seemed far more at ease, willing to share intimate details of their work. Anthony Anastasio, proprietor of Anthonyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Italian Coffee House, described the pushcart filled with produce and fish that his grandparents used to wheel up and down Ninth Street. He also told a story about his grandfather walking around in shoes worn through with holes, vowing as a child of the Great Depression to provide for his offspring. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sharing these stories with Tony and Michelle, it was surprisingly hard to verbalize them,â&#x20AC;? Anastasio says. You know the facts, but when speaking them out loud, â&#x20AC;&#x153;It hits you â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it makes you realize how difficult it was for merchants in the 1920s and â&#x20AC;&#x2122;30s. They didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the technology we have today. They didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the advantages we have today.â&#x20AC;? The design Ortiz created for Anastasioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shop blends the circle and spokes of the pushcart wheel with an old photograph of Anastasioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grandfather, with the phrase â&#x20AC;&#x153;A promise to my familyâ&#x20AC;? arcing around the side. Key phrases like this are prominent on each tarp, reading as a free-associative poem as the works unfold southward from Christian Street to Washington Avenue and back up the other side of the street.

with how we present our products, how we present ourselves and how we present our families.â&#x20AC;? And the families, Ortiz notes, have very similar stories. Rosario and Karina Corona, the Mexican couple operating a produce stand, met and fell in love in the market, just as Paul and Frances Giordano, an Italian couple, did nearly a century ago. The story of the Trans progressing from producestand merchants to store owners over the course of two decades follows the trajectory of the Anastasio family, who went from pushcart vendors to successful wholesalers to coffee-shop proprietors. Ortiz wants the vendors to see those common threads. In her eyes, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Different Pathsâ&#x20AC;? is about them sharing with one another as much as with the larger public. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So that way, there isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the element of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re an illegalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; or â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;my family has been here longer,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m trying to break that down so the merchants take a moment and see each other in one anotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stories.â&#x20AC;?

the wheel becomes a recurring visual motif, shaped as an Aztec warrior shield on the banner at Rosalio and Karina Coronaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s produce stand and a silver coin on the one at Giordano and Giordanoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Groceries. A video loop of interview excerpts explaining these elements screens Saturdays through June 11 at the vacant Pronto storefront at Ninth and Montrose. Along with a display of Roccoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s portraits, the video provides an enriching complement to the tarps. The work is simultaneously aesthetic, literary and documentary. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also functional: The images are themselves awnings, shielding the vendors from the elements â&#x20AC;&#x201D; like the rain weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trudging through. When the exhibit concludes in June, the vendors may keep the tarps permanently if they wish. Giving the work a purpose beyond being purely decorative was important to both artists, who each have formidable public art rĂŠsumĂŠs. Roccoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s documentary photography in Colombia led to an educational outreach program in the capital of Cali, while Ortizâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s murals in Mexico, Fiji and Philadelphia were each designed with neighborhood participation. They know how to work within communities, and how to reflect the stories of those communities to a broader public. In the market, the challenge was also getting their subjects comfortable with having their stories told in a climate where anti-immigration sentiment is high, both nationally (the staunch rhetoric and strict laws in Arizona and California) and locally (the â&#x20AC;&#x153;order in Englishâ&#x20AC;? hubbub at Genoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Steaks a couple years back). After meeting with that initial resistance from Scott and Judy Tran, the artists approached the coupleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son, Keong, who also works at the shop. He explains that the problem wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just that his parents were camera-shy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My dad, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s respectful of the other businesses, he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like to have any drama,â&#x20AC;? Keong Tran says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He thought that if we had a tarp up, other vendors, the Italian vendors, would look down on us, would have prejudice against us. He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to be flashy. He was content.â&#x20AC;? Rocco concurs: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rock the boatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; mentality,â&#x20AC;? he says. As the project went on, seeing fellow non-Italian vendors working with Rocco and Ortiz turned Tranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father around. The artists say heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now the most enthusiastic participant. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You lead by example,â&#x20AC;? Anastasio observes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had negative connotations associated with the market â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it smells, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dirty, people are rude. Looking back, and looking to the future, what makes it special is weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve overcome those barriers

icepack By A.D. Amorosi

➤ I’ve touted Erika Schiff’s singing abilities

for so long, it might seem like she’s a woman in her 60s rather than the sprightly twentysomething that she is. Philly’s resident blue-eyed soul chanteuse pays her bills as a wedding singer, has done backing vocals for old area cats like John Eddie and sang in expansive jazz acts with avant-guys like Elliot Levin. But the woman I spoke to from the Hollywood set of American Idol early this year (Schiff was a contestant) has her very first CD ready with a gig at Legendary Dobbs April 30. Who made this CD, In the Blonde, and her new band of the same name possible? Her beau and co-conspirator, Jimmy James. “This may be a debut, but it feels like the story of two artists who’ve done some living and are still hungry for more,” says James of ITB’s moody bits, Latin dance beats, whiskey-soaked guitars, plaintive string arrangements — all unified by Schiff’s potent, soulful vocals. “With eight pieces behind us, Dobbs will be a hell of a time.” Check out CritMass (citypaper.net/criticalmass) — I’ll have an Ice Cube featuring exclusive snaps from notorious Penthouse photographer Tony Ward soon. ➤ Chef-ing: NoLibs’ Arrow Swim Club may have announced an opening date (May 15) and pool-side menu (lots of flatbreads), but until now has been mum about the chef behind its Chenango Bar & Grill restaubar. Ta da. It’s Timothy McGinty, a European export who last served as exec sous chef at The Old Mill in Dublin, and spent time at The Anchor & Hope Inn and Pub in London. ➤ And remember my Ice exclusive last week on Fare, the frosted-glass organic restaubar readying its opening at 2028 Fairmount? They’ve got a chef named Timothy Bellew and a possible opening before May’s end. ➤ What about the 3,000-person live concert venue David Grasso was trying to get from a 7,600-square-foot warehouse at Beach and Richmond? You know, the one the neighbors weren’t keen on in 2010? Sounds like in 2011, Grasso and Councilman Frank DiCicco are getting the Live Nation-booked spot into a City Council zoning legislation hearing on May 4 and that the new venue will probably go through. ➤ Le Virtù on East Passyunk — the area’s quintessential Abruzzese cookery — has its ducks in a row. Or rather, pigs. Along with unveiling sous chef Massimo Conocchioli’s porchetta — roast suckling pig — Le Virtù is finally opening Campo, its outdoor spot on the grassy knoll adjacent to the mother spot on May 5 with an opening soiree featuring beer from Phoenixville’s Sly Fox Brewery, who’ll hook attendees up with commemorative goblets. Pigs and goblets sounds more like a Renaissance Faire than South Philly, but I’ll take it. (a_amorosi@citypaper.net)

MASQUE, THE GATHERING: “We wanted to have a band that combined chaos with complexity,” says singer Lynnette Shelley.

[ rock ]

Fire with Fire It’s a prog-eat-prog world for art rockers The Red Masque. By A.D. Amorosi

fter a decade as Philadelphia’s go-to progressive art rock ensemble, The Red Masque is having its most incendiary year. Surrounding married mates Brandon Lord Ross and Lynnette Shelley are some fired-up new players. Their sound is ferocious, leaner and meaner. Yet nothing put a flame under the quartet’s ass like its last gig, in March 2011. That was the one at Hoi Polloi Studios, canceled by a four-alarm fire nearby. Not even the worst part. While the band was meeting at a diner several blocks away from the blaze, their car’s windows got smashed. Duffel bags of vintage equipment, including a Morley Fuzz Wah and an echo Theremin, were stolen. So was Shelley’s notebook with lyrics for a bunch of new songs she didn’t have written anywhere else. “No, nothing positive came of it,” she says dryly when asked to look for a silver lining. “I think it would be fair to say that evening was the worst gig ever, if it can even be called a gig in that we weren’t even able to play.” The Red Masque had been through some muck in its time. The pair started its musical life in Delaware under the name Copperthrush. (Their first gig was at WWDB’s 1998 Scrapplefest, held at the TLA.) Back then, Shelley and Ross struggled to accomplish the wild vision — inspired by King

Crimson and Van der Graaf Generator — when they started to play the quietly dark and complicated arrangements of The Red Masque. “We wanted to have a band that combined chaos with complexity,” says Shelley. She’s a clarion vocalist whose lower range is like a rich bassoon, whose high notes could shatter a windshield, whose lyrics touch deeply and oddly on mythology and Celtic folklore. It didn’t help that she and Ross had issues with wannabe band members who would disappear without notice, had little time to devote to the cause or just didn’t get the idea behind The Red Masque’s terrapin score. “Brandon and I were very close to calling it quits. We just didn’t see how we were going to be able to move forward.” The solution came from a brief pre2010 hiatus, one Craigslist ad and a desire to streamline their schizoid sound into something less grand. The pair wanted to make a brand of noir art metal that was more intimately intertwining yet blunter than their previous sound. They also wanted to be able to share such studio-centric frippery with live audiences. “I no longer worry that we won’t be able to pull off our live sound,” says Shelley of the new union that’s been together since fall of 2010. Red Masque Mach 3 includes guitarist Nicholas Giannetti and drummer Steve Craig. “We were moving in this direction before Nicholas joined,” says

“I think it would be fair to say that evening was the worst gig ever.”

Shelley. “The newer material that Brandon and i were writing was more aggressive at times than anything in our past. That said, Nicholas is probably the most technically skilled guitarist we’ve had. That’s not a slight to anybody who played with us before. Brandon is not your average bass player and most of the songs are structured around his bass lines.” What this translates to is that the sharp shards of The red masque’s new crunch sounds closer to the band’s mangy first Ep (Death of the Red Masque, 2001) than to their last opulent CD (Fossil Eyes, 2008). “That Ep had a kind of garage prog sound to it, dirty, Diy and adventurous,” says Shelley. The discordant roar of their past is now made bolder and more brusque for the present. That suits

Shelley’s new songs, like “The Dark Salt Sea” (eerily prescient of the disaster in Japan), just fine. Other new songs about minotaurs and Saturn follow suit. “The new music is very intense, cathartic and transporting,” says Shelley. “it makes perfect sense for what i’m writing now.” (a_amorosi@citypaper.net) The Red Masque plays Sun., May 1,

Kath Bloom A second-generation folkie of the mid-1970s, Kath Bloom was rediscovered and embraced in the last decade, as fans from the new-American-songwriter scene (Devendra Banhart, Espers) ushered her from dormancy. As Bloom showed in an appearance at Fleisher-Ollman Gallery last year, her singing voice has ripened with age, conveying tender longing, heartbreak and ebullient joy. —John Vettese

IN PLANE SIGHT HIRO SAKAGUCHI: â&#x20AC;&#x153;NO PARTICULAR PLACE TO GOâ&#x20AC;? | Through Aug. 28, Pennsylvania Academy of

the Fine Arts, Morris Gallery, 118 N. Broad St., 215-9727600, pafa.org

â&#x17E;¤ AT THE VERY center of Hiro Sakaguchiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s PAFA

show is a one-person wooden boat. Beside the helm, Sakaguchi has placed a cast-iron hibachi filled with charcoal and flanked by cooking implements. Copper tubing leads toward the back of the boat, presumably to power it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Floatingâ&#x20AC;? on a mat screened with frothing waves, the boat is attractive, charming and everso-slightly unsettling. The tiny boat tossed on the metaphorical waves of fortune might be understood as the interior artist. An expatriate of Nagano and 1996 graduate of PAFA, Sakaguchi is a fairly typical, though unusually successful, young artist: teaching a few courses and working as an art handler at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The improvised boat embodies the insouciance and risk of his journey; a couple of crushed cans of Budweiser tossed behind the seat keep the mood light.

Sakaguchiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s linear work contains graphic references to Persian miniature painting, Middle Eastern iconography and manga. They exuberantly depict iconic silhouettes: airplanes, golfers, clouds and energy patterns. The artistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interest in hidden interiors â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and his curatorial bent â&#x20AC;&#x201D; led him to design wood cuts of archetypal domestic clichĂŠs, asking friends to add their individual visions. Sakaguchi consistently juxtaposes violence (volcanos, military airplanes) with the magic transformation of disaster into beautiful or poetic forms like bouquets of flowers. By projecting this gentle outcome onto our hopes for Japan, this work might be experienced as an unintentional but healing talisman for the future. (r_rice@citypaper.net)

s much as I would like to claim that my recent artery-berating tour of U.K.-style breakfast plates is a clever tie-in to William and Kate’s impending nuptials, the flabby truth is that I become easily fixated by food I see in movies. It came to me during a screening of The Trip, the BBC series/ soon-to-be feature film where Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon tool around the north of England, dining out and messing with each other. Mixed More on: in among the dueling impressions of Woody Allen and Michael Caine, there’s a scene where the twosome’s sitting outside a spot called The Angel Inn, knifing into a spread of eggs, bacon, sausage, black pudding, tomato and mushroom. “This is just really glorious,” Coogan says to Brydon. “It’s a sunny day in England with a fried breakfast. It doesn’t get much better.” I immediately felt motivated to capture such glory myself, locally, by trying as many of these fried breakfasts — the source code for America’s typical morning meal — as I could in one week. While there is no universally referenced methodology, there are elements that must be in place for something to be called a “Full English,” “Full Irish,” “Full Fry” or “Fry-Up.” (There’s no official distinguishing characteristic between English and Irish.) “The

eggs, the sausage, the bacon and some form of bread or toast is mandatory,” says Sam Jacobson, chef of Lansdowne’s Sycamore and a native Londoner. “The rest all depends on region and taste.” Baked beans, blood pudding, ’shrooms, soda bread, hash browns … like butter-coated snowflakes, no two fry-ups are the same. The Eggs. A Full English or Full Irish has got to have eggs, fried sunny or over-easy. (Scrambled wouldn’t look right.) At Rittenhouse’s Bards (2013 Walnut St.), I requested my eggs poached and they came out perfect, their yolks exploding with the graze of a fork and running canary-yellow tributaries around tender bangers and crunchy discs of black and white pudding. At Fado (1500 Locust St.), my eggs came fried together in the dead middle of the plate, the orbiting puddings, sausagmore food and es and back bacon sodium-laden members drink coverage of a huevo-centric breakfast universe. at c i t y p a p e r . n e t / The Beans. It’s not every day that m e a lt i c k e t. you hear a chef proclaim the superiority of beans in a can. “Heinz Baked Beans. It has to be Heinz,” says Robert Aikens of The Dandelion (124 S. 18th St.), a native of Norwich on England’s east coast, who does a Full English for brunch. It’s a sentiment echoed by Ed Strojan of Haddonfield’s British Chip Shop (146 Kings Highway E). These white beans, which come in an inoffensive tomato sauce, are typically applied in a spirited glop, cascading over the rest of your food like fire ants. At Fishtown’s Ida Mae’s Bruncherie (2302 E. Norris St.), however, the beans (actually not Heinz here) came in a dainty ramekin, much to the amusement of my breakfast mate, Jacobson. “I’ve never seen that before,” he said, turning the dish on its head and

Springfield Ave., a commercial kitchen is chugging away. The main clue is the cigar puffs of smoke from the exhaust fan mounted to the side of the building like bolts in Frankenstein’s neck. This is the headquarters of Kitchen at Penn, a class paper spun off into a bona fide business by UPenn senior Nate Adler. Soon, Adler will earn his dual degree in management and political science, just as KaP’s lease expires; when the takeout/delivery operation reopens next semester, it’ll feed Ivy underclassmen from a new location. That’s if it reopens at all — though judging by the dozens of Gmailed orders fluttering around on the metal worktable like white 8-by-11 pennants, there’s a serious demand for KaP’s style of home cooking. It was all hands on deck the night I stepped in, a happy-go-lucky crew of helpers bebopping around this fortress of stainless steel and stacked soup cups like Animaniacs. Wearing the expression of a half-bemused, half-agitated baby sitter, chef Jordan Miller worked the stove in relative silence, intermittently calling out for ingredients. “Need a baguette,” and a coed in Penn sweatpants passed over a roll that Miller promptly sliced and flat-top-toasted for my “West Philly Banh Mi,” filled with meatballs glazed in sweet chili sauce. Because Kitchen at Penn’s philosophy, according to Adler, is “Michael Pollan-esque,” the Creekstone Farms beef for the meatballs is grass-fed and the veggies are local. Biscuits and buns are baked on premises. But what would the edible ethics authority say about the bottled lemon juice I watched being squirted over my crackle-skinned chicken? Or the “garlic confit” (aka jarred, chopped garlic) tossed with snappy string beans? Despite the un-Pollan twinge here and there, Kitchen at Penn is doing a lot of things right. From its pasta to its ricotta, the heavenly vegetarian lasagna is entirely housemade. Meat loaf shines with honeybarbecue lacquer. Mac ’n’ cheese made with local cheddar and Gouda is as gooey as mom’s. Order by phone or online with Google Checkout, and don’t forget a cup of Miller’s cloudlike banana pudding. Like Kitchen at Penn’s current location (and its plans for the fall 2011 semester), the recipe is top-secret. (adam.erace@citypaper.net)

Like butter-coated snowflakes, no two fry-ups are the same. dumping its contents everywhere without missing a beat. The Veg. With a meal this meat-centric, it almost seems like a joke to include vegetables, but wedges of grilled tomato (yeah, yeah, tomatoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fruit) appeared in all seven breakfasts I tried. Nearly as ubiquitous: grilled mushrooms, either sliced and fried buttons (Ida Maeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, Fado, British Chip Shop) or, in the Dandelionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s case, crisped-up portobello cap. The Bread. At Ida Maeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, Mary Kate McCaughey makes her own soda bread, combining flour, buttermilk, salt, sugar and baking soda before puffing up slices on a flat-top. At Fado, you get a triangular wedge of starchy Irish potato bread; at Drexel Hillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hibernia Deli & Coffee Shop (3711 Garrett Road), we were treated to fresh soda breads, both with and without raisins, perfect for soaking up the tasty sop that materializes when Heinz sauce joins runny yolk. Jonathan Adams at Pub & Kitchen (1946 Lombard St.), who runs a Full English full-time in the winter and as a special in warmer months, has been known to grill pumpernickel or country white bread and then slather it in bone marrow butter. The Bacon. Unlike American â&#x20AC;&#x153;streaky bacon,â&#x20AC;? sliced from pork belly, the leaner fry-up staple back bacon is cut from the loin, with a small ribbon of fat. At Bards, back bacon comes branded with grill marks; at Hibernia, British Chip Shop and Upper Darbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Irish Coffee Shop (8443 West Chester Pike), itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pressed on a flat-top to a crisp. Exception to the rule: The Dandelionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Aikens includes two rashers of smoky Nueske streaky bacon in his Full English. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Though itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more traditional,â&#x20AC;? the chef says of back bacon, â&#x20AC;&#x153;it gets a little dry.â&#x20AC;? The Sausage. At both Bards and Fado, you bang with serious pork bangers, inch-thick sausages imported from the Emerald Isle. Herb-heavy Cumberland sausage is the link of choice at Dandelion, while American-style breakfast sausages rule the platter at British Chip Shop. Most fry-ups feature a pair of sausages; at both Hibernia and Irish Coffee Shop, however, they mercifully offer a â&#x20AC;&#x153;smallâ&#x20AC;? Irish breakfast option thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s half the portion of the full, a lone sausage holding court. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still way too much food. The Puddings. White pudding, common in a Full Irish, is not so different from scrapple, a blend of pork, herbs, spices and cereal â&#x20AC;&#x201D; think toothy oats instead of cornmeal â&#x20AC;&#x201D; sliced into coins and fried. Then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s black pudding â&#x20AC;&#x201D; same basic ingredients as white, plus blood. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made it for two years, and my stomach still knots up when I add the blood in,â&#x20AC;? says Pub & Kitchenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Adams, whose black pudding calls for three cups of LaFrieda meatsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; pasteurized pigâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blood. Needless to say, it sketches some people the F out. British Chip Shopâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Strojan deliberately leaves it off, offering the option to add it on for a small fee. Everything Else. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll often find a bottle of A1-esque HP Sauce (another Heinz product), which goes great with bangers and back bacon. Both Irish Coffee Shop and Hibernia cook grilled potatoes, either with or without onions. And at British Chip Shop, they offer bottles of Irn-Bru, a peculiar Scottish soft drink thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a reputed hangover cure. Unfortunately, it does not work on foodbased hangovers.
