fter four years of coordinated efforts, the SEPTA Substation at the corner of 13th and Mifflin streets now looks much nicer. Out are the sight of cracked window panes and dangling rusty green metal screens and in is a four-panel mural titled “East Passyunk: Crossing N / VO`R e]`YW\U V]]^abS` Wa V]^W\U Through The Ages.� The East Passyunk Crossing Civic Association b] UcWRS VS` 5`Oga 4S``g QZcP b] >7// UZ]`g ASS ^OUS !

guided the process, secured funding and permissions, sourced the imagery and commissioned artist Donna Backues to bring the designs together. The building dates back to 1913 and provides back-up power for the Broad Street Line. “It looks so amazing,� Joseph F. Marino, the cochair of the civic and resident of the 1900 block of South Jessup Street, said. “This is a combined eff fort from our board, and there was a lot of feedback from our membership — we’re really proud of this collaborative effort.�

Darren Fava, Marino’s co-chair and a resident of the 1100 block of Emily Street, was a key player, and he was able to use his professional skills to make the mural as historically accurate as possible. “I work for Parks & Rec, and my background is in city planning.

To the Editor: I am 59 and have lived in South Philadelphia all my life. I grew up in what is now called Queen Village. My grandparents came from Austria and Poland in the early 1900’s. Queen Village was a very diverse neighborhood made up of working class people of all nationalities. I went to St. Philip’s at Second and Christian streets, as did all my aunts and uncles. I walked to school and had lunch at my grandmom’s everyday. The education that I received was excellent, being an altar boy, reader at mass, and participating in the school plays gave me my first taste of showbiz, and I loved it. The first big change in my neighborhood occurred when the people on the east side of Front Street were forced out of their homes in the name of immanent domain due to the construction of I-95. The beginning of gentrification was the

next big change, causing people to move due to rising taxes, which in turn caused the closing of St. Philip Neri and St. Stanislaus schools. The new people moving in were upper-middle class, well-educated, responsible, not religious but a very welcomed addition to the neighborhood. Most stayed for about five years but moved when they had children due to the poor quality of the public schools. We are now experiencing the same situation in East Passyunk Crossing. In ’92, I moved to the East Passyunk area because it reminded me of my old neighborhood. I am not religious but was glad to see St. Nick’s and Neumann-Goretti there because of the sense of community it brought to the area. The changes in the neighborhood are inevitable. I don’t want the newbies or my South Philly brothers and sisters to move. The opening up of Neumann-Goretti to all kids

It took quite a probing mind to come up with the idea of the wheel. It took the mind of someone (from Ziconia) to come up with the zipper and can opener. There are thousands more like these that were never given the thought, then one day they were. So here is my off-the-wall idea, Mock, laugh or make fun of it if you will, but watch out, and keep

your eyes on the sky because there is more than just stars, the sun and moon up there. When it’s time, the now impossible and not thought of yet will fall onto all of us. All good things come to those who wait, maybe not today or tomorrow, but probably all of the sudden. Where so all of our yesterdays and all we ever said and done go, you may ask? Why of course into all of the black holes that exist throughout the universe enabling us to visit all yesterdays, and even the not-yet-realized tomorrows to be visited by us one day through technology, which one day will be realized and acted upon by us. Wishful thinking, you say? So was the automobile, airplanes, rockets, and how surprised you will find out that where we live now was lived over and over before exactly as it is being lived now. Don’t you ever realize how many times the earth has been covered by oceans over and over with dry spots reappearing to revitalize and ready for new growth of vegetation? After all, everything that grows has seeds for regrowth and so do humans, so in essence nothing or anything ever really dies. 4`O\Y 1OdOZZO`] A]cbV >VWZORSZ^VWO

A woman dared a potential thief to shoot her in South of South last week. At 8:25 p.m. Feb. 25, the complainant was walking on the 900 block of South 22nd Street after crossing Montrose Street when a male, armed with a small silver handgun she noted could have been a revolver, approached her and demanded her cell phone and wallet, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said.

The complainants were riding their bikes on the 800 block of Morris Street at 12:40 a.m. when the aforementioned figures, wearing black masks, approached them, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The initial offender pointed a black handgun at the chief complainant and demanded his wallet, striking him with the gun twice. The blows led the victim to sustain minor scratches to his face and enabled the perpetrator to take only his bike and flee. The second victim received punches to his face from the accomplice but parted with no possessions, Tolliver said. The victims, who said the attackers headed southbound on Eighth Street, described the first as white, 5-foot-9 and 19 to 25 years old; carrying a black gun; and wearing a black mask, a black baseball cap and a black hoodie; and the second as black, 5-foot-9 and 19 to 25 years old; and wearing a black jacket.

:W[WbSR ZSOaS Police arrested a South of South woman for allegedly threatening to shoot her roommate. At 4:40 a.m. Feb. 24, authorities arrived at an apartment on the 2100 block of Fitzwater Street and learned from the complainant that he and his living space companion argued an hour prior over rent money, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. During the confrontation, the woman supposedly threatened to shoot the male, with the latter leaving the residence to end the matter. As he stood outside the building, the off fender reportedly opened a second-floor window and pointed a firearm at him, Tolliver said. The complainant notified law enforcement officials, who recovered a weapon and arrested 32-year-old Rasheeda Ferebee, charging her with possession of an instrument of crime, simple assault, recklessly endangering another person and making terroristic threats. +(* Contact Managing Editor Joseph Myers at jmyy ers@southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.

Police are looking for a man who threatened to shoot up a Grays Ferry eatery. At 11:50 a.m. Feb. 23, authorities responded to a radio call for a person with a gun and reported to McDonald’s, 2851 Grays Ferry Ave., Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. An employee revealed he had a verbal dispute with a customer at the drive-thru window, with the potential purchaser blaring “I’ll shoot this whole store up� over miscommunication with his order. The at-large figure waved a black gun in the air before driving off in an unknown direction. The worker described him as black and in his mid-30s; having a light complexion; wearing a black cap and black leather jacket; and driving a light blue Ford Crown Victoria or Mercury Marquis. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.

en Miller and his wife Christina Martinez have been running Barbacoa South Philly at the corner of Eighth and Watkins streets on weekend mornings since 2012. They open at 6 a.m. and sell traditional Mexican fare — lamb, soup, tacos and tortillas — out of a truck until they run out. Last December, just two blocks to their west, Miller and Martinez ran a dinner out of Isaiah Zagar’s warehouse space that runs along the 1000 block of Watkins Street. The couple is putting on a second #dinneratisaiahs on March 9, and it’s already sold out. With a newfound partnership, Zagar’s eight-year-old warehouse space is getting a new life: Miller’s already started planning weddings in the space. “Wedding planner is a job that I never saw myself having,� Miller said. But he’s been inspired by Zagar – “he’s 75 and still up at 8 a.m. doing his work everyday. He has such a fiery imagination and strong work ethic – he’s a very inspirational person.� This time around, though, Miller’s outsourced the cooking and focusing on logistics. Damon Menapace, chef at Kensington Quarters in Fishtown and a resident of the 1500 block of South Iseminger

Street, will be doing the cooking. “I’m kind of blown away at how this thing’s taken off,� Menapace said. “Ben got a hold of me in early January saying we did this thing in December, would you be interested? He’s making my job easy. I just have to plan the menu and cook the food.� For a five-course meal for $50, with a complimentary mezcal toast and beer from Brooklyn’s Sixpoint Brewery, almost 120 hungry Philadelphians have already purchased a ticket. Menapace says he’s created a meat-heavy, rustic menu. “Being able to cook in that guy’s space makes me feel pretty special,� the Passyunk Square-based chef proclaimed. “It’s been a very organic thing. It’s a really cool event, and I’m glad to be a part of it,� Kristina Huber from Erdenheim Farms, a 450-acre farm in Lafayette Hill where she’s somewhat of a hybrid chef-

farmer, said. Huber, Menapace and Miller met while working for Marc Vetri. “I started as a pastry intern and worked my way up to a sous-chef. I met Ben when he was working at Amis and I worked with Damon at Osteria,� Huber said. Her farm is providing eggs, microgreens, winter vegetables and an olive oil cake with grapefruit and honey. “We’re friends with Isaiah and we want to try to help him out and it’s fun — we’ll do it as long as we keep having fun with it,� Miller said. The warehouse has, in fact, been a bit of a challenge for the Philly Magic Gardens, 1020 South St., mosaic artist. “It was an empty shell without windows. It was completely abandoned and it’s still a nightmare,� Zagar, a resident of the 800 block of South Street, said. He said the winter weather caused pipes

n the morning of March 3, students gathered in the llibrary of St. Gabriel School, 2917 Dickinson St., and listened to Chief Inspector Joe Sullivan of the Philadelphia Police Department read Dr. Seuss’ “Green Eggs and Ham,� a childhood favorite of the guest. Sullivan captured the children’s attention by wearing the iconic “red and white striped hat� usually worn by one of Dr. Seuss’ storybook characters, “The Cat in the Hat.� This event was a continuation of “Read Across America Day,� a national day devoted to the support of childhood literacy. Through this occasion, children are exposed to the joy of reading through the celebration of Dr. Seuss’ March 2nd birthday. Sullivan was invited to participate in this celebration along with board members of the Irish Pub Children’s Foundation in order to present the school with a check that will be used to support the school’s library.

The Irish Pub Children’s Foundation (IPCF) Inc., is a TriState-based charity dedicated to helping children in need throughout the region.

A year ago I was ready to sell the damn thing,� he admitted, but now every inch of it’s covered with what Zagar says has “all my idiosyncratic teenager thoughts. And at the age of 75, the teenagerness gets more rampant.� The two-floor space has a car elevator shaft that’s been fully mosaiced, no ovens, ranges or hoods, one bathroom and Miller’s coordinating the whole culinary invasion. “Christina and Ben have got it together and they’ve got all the logistics together. We had a dinner in December, and it was just gorgeous — [they] do a marvelous job of working all the kinks out and now we’ve got some more kinks,� Zagar said. “It’s so interesting to me to link up with young people who are involved in this foodie movement. “The wonderment of taste,� he added, citing Instagram as an indicator of how food’s captured the visual imagination of a younger generation. “Three-quarters of the photos are of food. What’s that about? There’s a mystery of the visual quality of food. It’s very abstract if you think about it; it’s one of the most important pieces of our life, food.� +(* Contact Staff Writer Bill Chenevert at bchenevert@southphillyreview.com or ext. 117.

After Sullivan’s reading, DeJohn Renzi was brought down to an 8th grade classroom where sixth-, seventh- and eighth-graders took part in her planned dance lesson. The “Dancing for Our Future Stars� gala is a first-time event structured like ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars� dance competition where professional dancers are teamed up with Philly notables from organizations that are major parts of the fabric of Philadelphia. The proceeds raised by the gala will directly support Independence Mission Schools such as St. Gabriel’s. With the help of charitable groups like the IPCF, and fundraisers like the “Dancing for Our Future Stars� gala, the previously Archdiocesan-run schools can continue to provide “high-quality, cost-effective education to more than 4,700 children of all faiths from many of the City’s most under-resourced neighborhoods.� +(* Comment at southphillyreview.com/news/features.

/@B 67AB=@G Q]\bW\cSR T`][ ^OUS to think that this is a definite enhancement of the building, bringing it into the 21st century.� It began in ’11 when, as the civic’s website reports, “students from the University of Pennsylvania’s Planning Program did a study of East Passyunk Avenue and the surrounding East Passyunk neighborhood.� They identified the substation as a source of blight and envisioned a necessary update. With a $10,000 grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic development from Pennsylvania state Sen. Larry Farnese’s office, the team was two-thirds of the way to completion. As Marino put it, the civic and its membership started brainstorming the best visual content for the mural. “Why don’t we do the passage of time through the neighborhood and how about we use sepia because that was all the rage at the time the building was made? We got all these pieces to Donna Backues, and she started in on the vision,� Marino, a “lifetimer� who lives in the home of his great grandparents, said. Backues lives in the neighborhood, too, a resident of the 1800 block of South 10th Street. A Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts alum and teaching artist, she was unnerved more by the process than the scope. “It was very challenging because I had to learn to use Photoshop. I felt very nervous about the fact that these were going to be digitally produced,� she confessed. “But it is really exciting, and I love history. I was able to gather a lot of old photographs of immigrants, and I did a lot of reading about the kinds of people in the EP Crossing area.� Each mural panel represents a different

century and the people who called the area home at the time. The fifth panel, which symbolizes modern South Philly, hasn’t gone up yet — the Civic’s still raising money for its installation. WINDOW ONE REPRESENTS pre-history through the 17th century and highlights the Lenni Lenape, the area’s first residents. “We found photos that were considered most accurate,� Fava said. “We looked at images at the Historical Society of Pennsylvania.� Backues said she “researched animals that were indigenous to the area, like an otter and a turtle.� Window two is the 18th century and is inspired by the wave of Swedish, Dutch and Finnish settlers that arrived in Philadelphia.

“I actually wanted to put the Moyamensing Prison in, but I couldn’t find enough images,� Backues said. “The Swedes were the first Europeans to arrive here,� Fava added. “They’re depicted coming in a boat.� The third window, the 19th century, takes on Moyamensing and Southwark, the villages that became part of the City of Philadelphia in 1854. This panel features Annunciation BVM Church, 1511 S. 10th St., when it had a full steeple. “The area was just starting to be more populated,� Backues said. It also includes a horse-drawn trolley that the civic’s site says “helped fuel rapid growth in the area.� The last window, early 20th century South Philly, depicts an electric trolley and an influx of Italian immigrants.

fifth window, which has been designed but not installed, depicts a “SEPTA bus and a whole mix of folks from the neighborhood,� Fava said. It’s a Route 23 bus, one Backues says she takes all the time and she included as “many ethnic groups as possible waiting to get on the bus and walking along the street.� The mural panels went up shortly after the famous King of Jeans sign came down. “I would like to think that ours will be equally embraced if not more so than the King of Jeans sign,� Fava mused. Getting SEPTA and the City of Philadelphia Mural Arts Program on board helped guarantee safety and Fava says the latter was essential for insuring the art and the safety of pedestrians. Right around the corner, EPX is gaining a new dance and movement space, too, with The Whole Shebang, 1813 S. 11th St. It’s a new creative hub that’s finishing up renovations with an entrance in the parking lot attached to Ss.

Foley, Jones and classes coordinator Chelsea Murphy recently showed their work-in-progress with excitement. They’ll soon host space rentals and classes in a wide range of disciplines from barre fitness to yoga. They’ll also welcome international dance artists to create and perform in the heated-floored and springs-supported dance surface. The space opens on Monday. Foley rubbed her swollen abdomen and said “this space is coming next week, and a baby is coming in July.� +(* Contact Staff Writer Bill Chenevert at bchenevert@southphillyreview.com or ext. 117.

B?<;IJOB;I venue’s overseers, namely, “to sustain the tradition of professional theatre and contribute to its future viability and vitality.� Literally standing tall to play the 6-foot-3 playwright, the local performer is figuratively rising thanks to the works’ looks at the joys and perils of humanity. “Wilde was a polarizing member of society,� Fredrick said of the wordsmith, who though the recipient of adoration for his creative output also became a pariah and a prisoner deemed guilty of “gross indecency� for his homosexual inclinations. “So many people think of him only as a deeply intellectual person, and we know he was, but we’re not looking to pigeonhole him or alienate the audience, so we’re also tackling his emotional qualities because it’s the blending of those two that helps us to focus on real human struggles.� In offering that balance, the actor stresses that receptivity reigns supreme, with willingness to acquire more than surface knowledge as the key to completing a successful journey through life, regardless of the age at which one commences investigations. “In Wilde and Whitman, we have prominent individuals who never stopped analyzing,� Fredrick said. “You don’t have to be a poet, playwright or an actor to realize

that’s going to be beneficial.� WITH REGARDS TO receiving instruction, the recent South Philly transplant can credit many stops for his curiosity. Because of his father’s employment as a pharmaceutical lawyer, he lived in many locations as a boy, acquiring enduring understandings of difference and diligence. “That didn’t immediately have much eff fect on my interest in acting,� Fredrick, who identifies most as a Missouri product, said of his attraction to his now-unshakable obsession. “With that Earth Day play, for example, I remember I didn’t event want a line.� Matters became more present and theater more immediate when he experienced life as a New York City sixth grader. As a Kansas high school registrant, he developed greater enthusiasm for expanding his universe, landing parts that helped him to begin to feel he could pursue the stage as a sagacious provider of direction. Sating his craving for classics through a seven-year stint as a Heart of America Shakespeare Festival actor, he added other attributes to his repertoire at Texas Christian University, graduating in 2009. That year yielded a Lone Star State-situated Shakespeare Festival meeting with Alexander Burns, the

a great match.� The wielder of words and wisdom certainly knows about timeliness, as he has also lent his tones as a voice-over talent, most prominently for the “Black Butler� anime franchise through which he has needed to synchronize his utterances with his characters’ expressions. “It’s a compelling line of work,� Fredrick said, noting his excitement over heading to an anime convention in Michigan this month. “I’m eager to see what kind of prospects are out there for me in that world, too.� With only three days until “Mickle Street� closes, the actor, like his renowned character, has fostered firm appreciation for his passions and intends to go from itinerant to permanent with respect to his address. “There’s great camaraderie here,� Fredrick said. “Especially here in South Philly, it’s a perfect place to mature.� SPR For tickets, call 215-574-3550, or visit walnutstreettheatre.org.

artistic director of Quintessence Theatre Group, with whom he has established an enduring professional connection. “Philadelphia was very appealing,� Fredrick said, noting that a fall ’12 Mount Airy-situated Quintessence staging of “Othello� initiated contact with the Wilma Theater, which he classified as his entry point for trying to become entrenched in the city’s never silent scene. “I moved here the next January, and it’s been exciting to make connections with established artists.� Having intertwined with those individuals through such entities as Circle Theatre, Clark Park and Lantern Theatre Co., for whom he played Valentine Coverly in last fall’s “Arcadia,� he will return to the final element of that trio in May for its “The Hound of the Baskervilles� production, with South Philly’s Matt Pfeiffer and Dave Johnson handling directing and acting duties, respectively, the latter as Dr. Watson, and former South Philly denizen Damon Bonetti as Sherlock Holmes. “I can’t wait for that or anything else that comes along,� Fredrick, charged with playing Sir Henry Baskerville, said. “It’s all in the name of my desire to see theater thrive.

would like to thank the former mayor of New York, Rudy Giuliani. It used to be that Rudy’s biggest success was in removing the porn houses from 42nd Street so that it once again became fit for Ruby Keeler and Dick Powell. But Rudy has raised an important issue: Does the president love America? Fellow Americans, while we were being distracted by increased threats from ISIS and providing health coverage for more Americans, we missed the threshold qualification for the White House, love of country. Deep love. Really deep. You liberals can snicker all you want. Loyalty to one’s country has historically been a very important question in America. During the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln required confederate prisoners to sign an oath pledging their loyalty to the Union in order to qualify for a pardon. Democrats got into the swing of things in 1947 when President Harry S. Truman instituted a loyalty program for federal employees. But really, folks, it’s not enough to be loyal. It took Giuliani to make us understand that there’s a difference between “loyalty� and “love.� If people want to be president, they have to be more than just loyal to America; they have to love their country. Really love it. Hang in there with Rudy and me for a moment. An important question arises — how does one measure the depth of one’s love for America? There is no blood test that allows us to quantify that love. Don’t think that a lie detector could solve our dilemma because a skilled liar can beat the test. Your columnist does not pretend to be an expert in testing, but I believe that someone has to meet the challenge. Consider the fact it now appears the entire Republican Presidential Primary could wind up being decided based upon which candidate loves America most. Flash forward to the debate stage next year with Jeb Bush, Chris Christie, Scott Walker, Rand Paul, Marco Rubio and Bobby Jindal all shouting, “You don’t love America as much as I love America!!� Let’s pause for a moment to understand that any test I set forth here to determine a candidate’s depth of love for America would not pertain to Democrats, so don’t worry, Hillary. We can assume ipso facto ( I love that phrase) that no Democrat by any Republican definition can love his or her country as much as a Republican. This is especially true if your father was born in

N a ] c b V ^ V W Z Z g ` S d W S e Q ] [

Kenya and you were exposed to anti-colonial ideas. I’m not sure what “anti-colonialism� means, but Republicans are using that phrase a lot today. I think it means that if people are “anti-colonial,� they don’t believe in the “white man’s burden� to care for the colored races. Likely don’t look good in a pith helmet or safari jacket either. Initially I thought that comedian Tommy Smothers might hold the key to quantifying depth of love. Tommy, you might remember, always went around telling his brother Dickie that “Mom always liked you best.� How had Tommy Smothers ascertained that fact? I talked to Tommy recently and asked him, “How do you know that your mother always liked your brother best?� I waited for what seemed like an eternity for Tommy to answer the question while he stammered and stuttered. Unfortunately when he finally got the words out, he just kept repeating, “Mom always liked you best.� And I had never even met his mother. My next thought was to check with many of the folks on my wife’s Facebook page (with her permission, of course) because they are constantly passing along outbursts of love for America, the police and Jesus, not necessarily in that order. Perhaps one of them might know how it is one measures love. I interviewed several who shall go unnamed. One of them responded by giving me her recipe for a macaroni casserole layered with potato chips and M&M’s. Another upped and sang a great version of Tina Turner’s “What’s Love Have To Do With It?� The last one, a distant relative, who was late trying to enlist for The Crusades, tried to handcuff me and turn me into the police. At that point, I decided to give up that particular method of inquiry. I keep sorting through the various ways we can quantify love of country. All the while in the background, I am playing my recording of the Bee Gees singing “How Deep Is Your Love� (note--the Bee Gees don’t seem to have an answer either). My conclusion--one can prove only the negative--that someone doesn’t love their country. Check that person’s television viewing habits. Obviously if they’re watching Al Jazeera America in preference to Fox News, love of America is lacking. A more subtle indicator is whether the subject being monitored prefers British shows on PBS rather than “Duck Dynasty� or even the Kardashians, who are nothing if they aren’t real Americans. Does that person attend a Phillies game only when there’s a fireworks show? A real plus for measuring love. A taste for Bavarian cream instead of apple pie would cause a drop in the love America meter. I’m not sure what you do with your columnist who has a fondness both for Bavarian cream and apple. Republican candidates wrap themselves in the American flag to prove their love — make that a big flag if you’re Chris Christie. +(* Comment at southphillyreview.com/opinion/ cardella.

wo years ago, “The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel� not only proved that it’s never too late for love, but also that stories about — and, perhaps, for — older individuals could score fans at the box office. Now the sleeper hit has also yielded a sequel, which thankfully feels less inevitable and knee-jerk on screen than it does on paper. Featuring returning stars Judi Dench, Maggie Smith, Bill Nighy and Dev Patel, as well as newcomers like Richard Gere, “The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel� is hardly one’s most original multiplex option, but it’s as warm and welcoming as its predecessor. Perhaps due to her massive “Downton Abbey� popularity, Smith has seen her character, reformed grump Muriel Donnelly, earn a stronger presence, appearing prominently alongside Patel’s Sonny Kapoor as a co-proprietor. The story hinges on the two of them seeking out a second location for the business, while the characters continue to juggle with choices on how to spend their golden years. Evelyn Greenslade (Dench) is as industrious as ever, continuing to find more work as a woman uncommonly deft at tech and textile expertise, and she’s also still nursing an attraction to Douglas (Nighy), a persistent gentleman worth rooting for. Evelyn’s arc is easily that which most supports the young-at-heart, never-too-late theme, but there’s also Douglas’s ex, Jean (Penelope Wilton), who needs to redefine her life as a single septuagenarian. (Meanwhile, Celia Imrie and Ronald Pickup also return as randy permanent guests Madge and Norman.) The film’s new twist involves Gere, who makes a statement as a storied heartthrob

embracing a film about old age, and whose character, a mystery man who may or may not be a hotel inspector, catches the eye of Sonny’s mom (Lillete Dubey). Indeed, love is in the air once again at the Marigold Hotel, but there’s something about this cast and this setting that continues to make the film impervious to broad criticisms of adhering to formula. These movies have managed to take the romcom formula and make it their own, and, with that time-tested tradition, sell the value of making the most of one’s time.

Relive all the moments Gaga paid homage to in 50th anniversary of “The Sound of Music,� with Julie Andrews in what’s arguably her most iconic role.

nasty bout of flu kept me housebound for more than a week. A steady diet of chicken soup, tea and toast quickly became tiresome. As soon as my taste buds made a recovery, all I wanted to do was go out for Sunday brunch. On a snowy afternoon, we picked up cousin Carl and headed to Hawthorne’s, which recently re-opened after a fire closed the restaurant for nearly a year. I knew major renovations had occurred and was curious to see any new additions to the menu. The hostess told us there was a 45-minute-to-an-hour wait. People were seated or standing by the newly expanded fireplace in the packed room. It appears everyone in the neighborhood decided to have brunch at the same time. Plan B quickly took us to Girard Brasserie & Bruncherie in Fishtown. Those who watch “Saturday Night Live� may recall Michael Che, one of the Weekend Update anchors, explained that Girard is the first restaurant in Philadelphia to establish a no-tipping policy. Snow was still falling as we entered the cheery room decked out in black and white stripes and sunny yellow paint. We were the only patrons in the 40-plus seat restaurant. All we wanted was a hot cup of coffee to warm us up. Girard offers French press coffee. There was a Columbian, a Kenyan blend and another that I cannot recall. I like strong coffee like La Colombe, Green Street and Rival Brothers.

($4.75) for a 2-cup was shared amongst the three of us. It had a bitter acidic taste that was most unpleasant. One of the servers made me another type, but it did not fare much better. The kitchen is under the supervision of chef Brian Oliveira, who owns Girard with his business partner, Christian Mora. The menu, which lacks focus and organization, aspires to be too many things at brunch, lunch or dinner. Customers can order brunch a la carte or prix fixe. I opted for the prix fixe ($23). A glass of freshly squeezed sweet orange juice was refreshingly delicious. Oliviera prepared the omelette with bacon, cheddar and avocado. I nixed the avocado and went classic, as bacon and cheddar is a fine com-

bination. The omelette was rolled like a carpet and was golden on the outside and creamy inside. Because it was served on a cold plate, it cooled down rather quickly. Lyonnaise potatoes, a classic French side dish, comes with egg dishes. The potatoes are fried and served with sautĂŠed onions. The potatoes were way too salty, some were crisp and some were soggy. A side choice of salad was not a good idea, as the greens were overdressed and contained much too much vinegar. A julienne of carrot and red onions did not add any crunch or texture. Carl decided on eggs Benedict ($13). He had a choice of spinach, cured salmon or duck breast. Two poached eggs topped with rich Hollandaise were placed on

thinly-sliced house-cured salmon that imparted a fine flavor. Instead of a regular muffin, Girard uses what it calls an “everything� muffin. Poppy seeds, sesame seeds, onion — every topping one would find in an everything bagel was used in baking the muffins. The Brasserie burger ($17) was ordered rare, and it came to the table rare. It lacked a good sear on the outside, but the bacon jam, cheddar and caramelized onions were a nice touch. Lyonnaise potatoes came with the burger as well. I am a biscuit lover and wanted to try Girard’s version ($2). There are a few schools of culinary thought on how to bake the perfect biscuit. I prefer them buttery and flaky. Hot from the oven and slathered with butter and jam is a triumph. Unfortunately for me, I received a cool biscuit that lacked flavor. I asked for some butter, but its addition did little to the overall taste and texture. I think the menu should be simplified. A whole trout for $24 dollars is not a dish I would order for Sunday brunch. Perhaps Oliveira and Mora should re-think their offerings. The bill for brunch for three came to $64.55, tip included. One tip of the toque to Girard Brasserie & Bruncherie. +(*

pril 6, 2009 will forever be a devastating day in the history of the original Gran CaffÊ L’Aquila, as an earthquake destroyed the capital city of

Italy’s Abruzzo region. Riccardo Longo, who arrived from Italy at age 5 with his family and called South Philly home for a portion of his youth, makes regular trips to his homeland to study Italian regional cuisine. One of his excursions included a trip to L’Aquila, not realizing that the town was closed down. However, owners Stefano Biasini, the reigning gelato champion, and Michele Morelli, the top-rated Italian coffee roaster and barista, who opened an outpost on the edge of town. “It was the best coffee and gelato I ever had,â€? Longo, who speaks =e\S`a ;WQVSZS ;]`SZZW @WQ fluent Italian, said. QO`R] :]\U] O\R AbSTO\] The trio instantly struck up a 0WOaW\W conversation, and Longo invited Biasini and Morelli to make the trip to Philadelphia, where they Gran CaffĂŠ L’Aquila continued discussing bringing an Owners: Michele Morelli, Riccardo authentic version of the multi-facLongo and Stefano Biasini eted concept to America.

partners. The interior design, including the bar and furniture, was built in Italy and was transported to the states in cargo containers. All of the coffee beans are roasted on the premises while the gelato flavors — including several that are alcohol-infused — are made daily inside of Biasini’s secondfloor lab.The cultural aspect is an equally important and crucial part of Longo’s dream project. Each week, the menu selections focus on a different region of Italy as Bolzano is the current area with Bologna to follow March 9 to 15. As an added bonus, the restaurant also hosts cultural classes as it has teamed up with the America-Italy Society of Philadelphia for the sessions where participants learn about the culture of the elected region followed by samplings of the area’s food and wine.

hen she tore a knee as a freshman at the now-shuttered Germantown High School, Romeira Tucker feared she might never play basketball again. Her worry proved particularly troubling, as she had been calling on the sport to provide direction for three years. Having never lost her voracity for celebrating victories, the senior guard/forward will look to lead the Universal Audenried Charter High School Rockets, 3301 Tasker St., to distinction in the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association tournament, with their first-round tilt set for Saturday. “We’re going to take it one game at a time, and we’re going to play our best,� the 18-year-old said Monday at her Grays Ferry secondary education site, where she and her teammates

powerhouse. Her rejuvenated regard for her skill-set could prove problematic for Saturday’s foe, just as it did for Platinum Division opponents, against whom Audenried registered an 11-2 mark. With the boys’ unit also competing in the state tournament, March could make for a mighty monumental month for the Rockets, with Tucker determined to test her ever-evolving talent against venerable adversaries. “I hate losing,� she said. “We’re not going there just to compete. We want to win it all.� HAVING COMMENCED HER basketball journey as a sixth-grader, Tucker prized her participation as that which removed her from troublesome situations to which she had earlier fallen prey. Constantly crafting her identity as an athlete, she never strayed from the pastime, with her freshman year injury crushing her spirit. “Basketball means everything to me, so I was very upset when I couldn’t go to play,� Tucker confessed. “I really thought I was done for good, and that hurt.� Thanks to physical therapy and belief in her abilities, she foresaw being able to offer solid contributions to Audenried, offerings that others doubted she could provide. “People were a bit low on what we could do for her,� Robinson said of aiding her progression, noting critics had expressed concern over Audenried’s chances of molding her enough to merit college interest. “What they don’t know is that she has fire. This year is proof of that.� Combatting naysayers with ease, Tucker has tallied 354 points, earned First-Team division honors and bonded with sophomore guard Tatyana Sao, a Second-Team

honoree, to form The Splash Sisters, a feminized form of the nickname that Golden State Warriors Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson have received for their long-range aptitude. The year has unfolded wonderfully for the Rockets, whose ledger includes capturing December’s Lower Merion Holiday Classic, scoring two playoff victories, including a 65-52 triumph over The Academy at Palumbo, 1100 Catharine St., in which Tucker deposited 27 points, and advancing to the AAA Public League final. “Romeira has been special for us all year long, and I’m proud to have this chance to watch her grow,� Slaughter, who will look to hone more talent this summer through his founder and CEO roles with the South Philadelphia Urban Youth League centered at Smith Playground, 2100 S. 24th St., said. “It’s a testament to her will that she’s come back so strong.� The beloved baller has indeed garnered enthusiasm from college programs, with Edinboro University the chief pursuer. Looking to raise her SAT score, which she will attempt March 14, she intends to major in sports management, with an eye on becoming an agent. Robinson looks forward to keeping up with her progress no matter where she lands, but before she leaves the environs, he and his charge are hoping for a large local celebration. “The state tournament is big,� Tucker said. “We want to show who we are, and that’s going to mean being as focused as we’ve been the whole year.� SPR Contact Managing Editor Joseph Myers at jmyy ers@southphillyreview.com or ext. 124.

At 7:30 Friday, the boys’ basketball team from Ss. Neumann-Goretti, District 12’s top AAA seed, will take on Gettysburg at Archbishop Ryan High School. The Universal Audenried Charter High School boys’ team will enter as District 12’s AAA fourth seed and will have a 6 p.m. date with Bishop McDevitt of Harrisburg at Milton Hershey High School.

Entering with a 17-8 mark, they will rely heavily on Tucker not only for her scoring touch but also her maturity, the latter endowment something that assistant coach Hanief Robinson finds irrepressible. “She has brought such intensity to the team,� the overseer said of the fellow Germantown inhabitant. “She’s not the average 18-year-old because of how much responsibility she possesses.� Last summer, Robinson, who had heard of Tucker for her freshman year feats, which included a 48-point effort, connected with the teenager through a clinic and immediately found her possessive of raw talent. Knowing she needed a push, he helped to orchestrate her transfer from Martin Luther King High School, a move he said wave.� a part of the winning menied,� Tucker, the Rockets’ veraging 14.8 points, along ds and 3.4 steals, said of her colleagues and coach er, of the 2400 block of form a formidable club.
