Wh t place What l iin SSouthth Phill Philly ddo you consider a landmark?

The time machine

efore joining the South Philly Review staff in 1998, I was shown a copy of the commemorative 50th Anniversary issue. It was an impressive collection of news/history spanning the previous five decades.

Little did I know that 14 years later I would be sitting at this desk helping to plan the South Philly Review’s 65th Anniversary issue. The first step was coming up with a theme. This wasn’t like a Spring or Fall Guide where there would be another edition next year. After several months of brainstorming the idea finally clicked: Let’s recognize other businesses and places around the community also celebrating milestones. We reached out to our readers and neighbors to share their anniversary stories.

At the time, little did we realize the list of potential profiles would end up being six, single-spaced typed pages.

Managing Editor Amanda L. Snyder and her crack research team spent several weeks compiling the extensive list.

It included places dating back to the 1600s — Gloria Dei (Old Swedes’) Church — and the 1800s — Jefferson Square Park, Methodist Hospital and the Italian Market to name a few. The early-1900s includes a

“Passyunk Avenue. There are shops every where and everybody knows that it’s a famous spot.�

Patricia Wallace, Broad and Porter streets

“Texas Wieners. It’s been around since 1923. It [has] an old Greek sauce for hot dogs. When Roxanne Schiavo owned it, it was jumpin’.

It’ll be around forever.�

Nancy East, Fourth and Moore streets

“Pat’s Steaks because they were always great and have been there as far back as I can remember.�

Frankie Avalon, Native of the 1900 block of South Hemberger Street

9

“The Italian Market area. It draws a lot of people and it’s something that people associate with South Philly. Plus, I’m Italian, so I love it there.�

Carmella Saia, 13th and Porter streets

wide variety of places ranging from churches to libraries to restaurants and so much more.

Along the way, many of these establishments weathered the economic storms of two World Wars, the Great Depression and, more recently, the recession. Like the blizzards of 2009-10, the path eventually cleared. Many credit the secret to their success to third- and fourth-generations of family members having a passion for keeping the businesses going.

There is an endless number of other places worthy of recognition and we apologize if you feel left out. This issue is a sampling of some of the schools, churches, parks, libraries, restaurants and other businesses that have been around for 50 years or more.

Of course, the South Philly Review wouldn’t exist today if it weren’t for all of loyal readers and supporters out there for making us a part of their lives every Thursday. We even appreciate you angry callers that complain about not getting your paper as it shows how passionate you are about your community news.

Here’s to another 65 years of reporting your stories! SPR —Bill Gelman

Seventh St. address was home to the Review from 1952 until ’62, when it moved to its current spot at 12th and Porter streets. Terri Pinto Inc., a family-owned business in operation since ’57, took over the vacant space after the Review’s departure. The Review’s previous building, 1646 S.

loria Dei (Old Swedes’) Church, 916 S. Swanson St., has welcomed worshippers since 1677, honoring its Nordic ancestry and stressing humanity’s need for accord. Pennsylvania’s oldest church switched from Swedish Lutheran to Episcopalian in 1845, but no matter the denomination, fellowship has always reigned.

“This place is my life,” congregant Jeanette Woehr, whose family’s involvement dates back to the 18th century, said.

She and nearly 200 other devotees voice their prayers within the Queen Village location, which

ultiple mergers tell the history of Lighthouse Independent Baptist Church, 2400 S. Broad St. Third Baptist Church members held services at a worshiper’s home in 1809 before securing a Second-and-Catharine-streets location two years later.

Fifteen years after purchasing its Marconi property in 1896, the unification with Calvary Baptist increased the number of congregants significantly, but a 1964 fire destroyed the structure, known for a solid marble baptismal and organ, and prompted a five-year reconstruction.

“The pipe organ was only second to the Wanamaker organ in quality and size,” Rev. William Kerr said.

In ’93, Third Baptist merged with Open Door Baptist. Five years later, the small congregation that is comprised of 17 nationalities and supports missionaries in numerous countries took its current name.

“This church has a long history in South Philadelphia,” Kerr said. “Being pastor here has been a bonus in my life.”

uilt in the 1820s, Jefferson Square Park, 300 Washington Ave., was deeded to the Union Army for use as a Civil War encampment. After the war, the City reconstructed the Pennsport space, with granite pillars and walls that remain today.

Crime, drug use and dumping caused the City to propose transforming it into an indoor recreation facility in the 1980s, but the Friends of Jefferson Square Park developed to halt the construction.

“The lesson that we learned was positive displaces negative action,” Friends President Michael Toklish, who moved to Front and Federal streets in 2000, said. “Years ago people were told ‘do not go into that park. It’s a negative place.”

Now the area holds an array of summertime activities, such as movie nights and flea markets.

“It’s now used constantly by dog walkers, kids, people who just want to sit on the bench and read, people who just want to have a picnic or throw a Frisbee,” he said.

Last year, the seven-branch neighborhood-oriented bank celebrated its 125th anniversary. Established in 1886 as South Philadelphia Building and Loan Association No. 2, 2101 S. 19th St., the business focused mainly on mortgages.

In the early 1970s, it built a small Oregon Avenue branch. Then, it acquired 1722 S. Broad St. in ’79 upon merging with Alvin Progressive Savings. With the purchase and demolition of clothing retailer Robert Hall two years later, Prudential built the 1834 W. Oregon Ave., location, knocking down the smaller spot for its parking lot. Pennsport Mall construction brought along the 238A Moore St. branch in the early-’80s.

Prudential now offers various loans and other supplemental products to its traditional banking services.

“We are well known in the South Philly community,” Wilson said.

Key to success

A

public school in any city acts as a pillar in the community, providing educational services to its children.

Francis Scott Key School, 2230 S. Eighth St., has fulfilled this mission with achievements, such as regional honors in a national science competition where one of its four teams placed in the top-24.

“I know we will continue to be successful,” Principal Norris Eldridge said. “We are a high-quality, educational institution.”

The Lower Moyamensing facility opened in 1889, and since then, has been serving the diverse families within the surrounding communities. Currently, Key has 503 students enrolled, with those of Asian, Latino and African-American descents making up 51.4, 18.4 and 15.2 percent, respectively.

“We have generations of families that continue to come to Key because we provide quality services. And we welcome everyone in the community,” he said.

Centenarian of caring

U

nfortunately, hospitals are a critical part of life.

Luckily for South Philly patients — ranging from newborns to those battling life-threatening illnesses — a Lower Moyamensing institution has been checking the pulses of local residents since 1892. Methodist Hospital, 2301 S. Broad St., was founded as Methodist Episcopal Hospital to improve the quality of life.

It has provided medical care at home and abroad during World Wars I and II, survived the Great Depression and employed and educated generations of South Philadelphians.

“Methodist Hospital is a proud member of the South Philadelphia community,” James E. Robinson, Methodist’s senior vice president and chief administrative officer, said. “The hospital remains committed to its home, and providing its neighbors and patients throughout the region with the highest quality care.”

Vista business began in 1892.

Current proprietors Daniel and wife Trish Fiorella are the proud fourth-generation owners. Luigi Fiorella opened the shop, which makes and sells all-natural pork sausage, at age 19, after emigrating from Italy.

The speciality sausages include seven varieties of hot, mild, with fennel, without fennel, liver, cheese and breakfast.

“The liver sausage is my great-grandmother’s recipe,” Daniel said. “It’s the only one of its kind in the area.”

Fiorella Brothers, which moved in 1904 to its current operation — just steps away from its original location, proudly serves its fresh homemade product in area restaurants and to residents.

“We are USDA-inspected every day, and I think that shows how much we care about our customers,” Daniel said.

it remained for 116 years before taking over the former Norris S. Barratt School, 1599 Wharton St. “We have a very y us strong education focus where teachers take ownerwnership of the children as if they are their own children,” ,” Principal Daniel Peou said.

Under his guidance, with African-Americans, Asians and Latinos making up 59, 24 and 13 percent, respectively, of its 601 pupils — 90 percent of whom are economically disadvantaged — Childs reached 66.3 and 80.4 percent proficiency on reading and math standardized tests, respectively, last year. The students also have plastered the hallways with art through a University of the Arts mentorship program, and revitalized their outdoor space into a garden.

“I want them to think the sky is the limit,” Peou said. “Let’s focus on college.”

The Bella Vista destination began as the Graphic Sketch Club, receiving its current name with the 1944 death of its founder.

“Samuel Fleisher’s vision … has remained our mission to the present day: To make art accessible to everyone, regardless of economic means, background or artistic experience,” its Executive Director Matt Braun said.

The site offers tuition-free and low-cost classes and workshops that team with galleries and community-center and school programs to attract more than 16,000 annual admirers. It also claimed a 2011 Na-

Answering a service calling

T

he Southwark Club, 101 Ellsworth St., known today as the Southwark House, continues a tradition of service and advocacy.

Initially opening as a club with programs and activities that specifically catered to women and mothers in 1900, Southwark, as time progressed, needed to meet greater needs.

“There were changes in the community, and in the nation, that the house wanted to serve,” Francis Carey, executive director of United Communities of Southeast Philadelphia, Southwark’s umbrella foundation, said.

After merging with other settlement houses, the Pennport headquarters developed a mission of improving the community and the skills its neighbors needed to be a part of the greater community.

“It became an anchor in the community for incoming African-Americans, Jewish and Italian immigrants, post World War II vets,” Carey said.

Today, the space houses after-school programs, as well as family and immigrant services.

Old World flavor

R

alph’s Italian Restaurant, 760 S. Ninth St., has much to boast about apart from being a cherished South Philly establishment.

Started in 1900, it is the oldest restaurant in the country owned by its original family, and is the second oldest Italian restaurant in America. Francesco and Catherine DiSpigno, who emigrated from Naples in 1893, founded Ralph’s in the Italian Market after relocating to Philadelphia from New York. The restaurant moved to its current spot in 1915, but prides itself on still being located in its original Bella Vista neighborhood.

Known for its veal dishes, Ralph’s cooks original recipes handed down from the founders.

“The third, fourth, and fifth generations of the same family still provide quality service and food at Ralph’s,” owner and manager Ryan Robino, a fifth-generation proprietor, said.

Mission accomplished

O

riginally known as St. Martha’s House, the Houston Community Center, 2029 S. Eighth St., started

Family and flavor trump all at Ralph’s Italian Restaurant, a renowned Italian Market eatery.

S ta f f P h o t o b y G r e g B e z a n i s

as a missionary house in 1900.

A deaconess-in-charge ran Houston, which had strong ties to the Episcopal church and was committed to parish and service work. However, growing tensions between diverse ethnic groups drove the center to change its focus to find solutions to the area’s disputes. A neighborhood advisory committee formed and became a growing voice for tolerance and advocacy.

“Houston wanted to make sure that the programs out of it were beneficial to the community,” Francis Carey, United Communities of Southeast Philadelphia executive director, said. “Community members had a stake in the community and what was going on.”

In ’69, the center merged with a settlement house group to become United Communities of Southeast Philadelphia, and today, houses various organizations that advocate for and support local immigrants.

Costumed crusaders

N

ew Year’s Day simply would not be the same without thousands of strutters donned in ornate costumes performing up Broad Street for the Mummers Parade, but it wasn’t always that way.

The Swedes started its earliest version in 1640, Palma Lucas, executive director of the Mummers Museum, 1100 S. Second St., said.

“It was a two-week-long festival in the neighborhoods,” she said. “It continued growing until the mid-1800s when they became organized into Mummer clubs.”

It wasn’t until 1901, upon a City Council

Isgro Pastries have been holiday helpers for more than a century, offering a variety of goods to mark celebrations.

Any outfit will do for those poised to pound their feet along Broad Street as Mummers. Novelty continues to mark the proceedings, as current performers strive to craft memorable routines. request, that the New Year’s Day highlight officially began.

Since then, the parade has evolved to include five divisions, including the wench brigades whose costumes date back to Colonial days when a working-class female was called a wench.

“All mummers are out there to put a smile on your face and make your day better by having a good time,” Jerry La Rosa, New Years Shooters and Mummers Association vice president, said.

with the finest threads since 1902.

“We have loyal customers come back,” owner Vinny Talotta Jr. said. “People who bought suits in the 1940s have brought their kids and grandkids back in for theirs.”

Talotta inherited the business from his father, Vincent, who began working for the store’s original owner, Julius Goldstein, in ’36, took over ownership with his brother Pasquale in ’50 and continued working until the day he passed away last month.

Throughout its history, Goldstein’s has prided itself on its full setup of tailoring equipment, which allows for the most precise alterations to be made right in the store. That attention to detail is what has helped the store develop its loyal following and kept it in business for more than a century.

“We’re a Philadelphia tradition,” Talotta said.

“He is changing the poor public perception that’s been highlighted by the media, which flies in the face of 100 years of excellent education offered to South Philly students and children of immigrants aspiring to fulfill their hopes and dreams,” he said.

A

friend to sweet teeth since 1904, Isgro Pastries, 1009 Christian St., favors fervor over frills. A Bella Vista mainstay, the four-generation family facility Mario Isgro founded relies on a commitment to quality to fill stomachs and win hearts.

“I love to cook,” head baker and owner Gus Isgro said.

The third-generation product began his sojourn as a boy, placing cherries on cookies, and now oversees at least 500 recipes. He has welcomed novelty but will never alter the formula for his award-winning cannoli, his site’s chief seller. The shelled treat teams with numerous delights to affirm his brood’s passion for freshness and fondness.

“This is what I do,” Isgro said of his culinary amore, which his 97-year-old mother Mary has helped to intensify. “Patrons trust me to craft top products, and I cherish each occasion to reward them.”

T

he Queen Memorial Branch, 1201 S. 23rd St., has served Grays Ferry and Point Breeze since its founding in 1907. Named in honor of Philly optician, microscope maker and philanthropist James W. Queen, the library was first housed in Hope Presbyterian Church, 33rd and Wharton streets. Its name became its current title in December ’12, and relocated in ’45 to a rented building at 1313-15 Point Breeze Ave., before landing in its current home at the Landreth Apartments in ’95.

“Queen Memorial Branch absolutely has a very strong children’s program,” Sandy Horrocks, the Free Library of Philadelphia’s vice president of external affairs, said. “The library is also in a safe location in the community, and is a wonderful resource for families.”

Bananas about business

H

ow old is M. Levin & Co.? When Michael Levin began selling bananas in 1906, he used a horse-drawn wagon to move his product along Society Hill’s cobblestone streets. The mode of transportation might be ancient history, but the produce business that he founded remains intact with the third and fourth generations now running operations.

The company, which settled into its current home at 326 Pattison Ave., during the mid-’50s, is still recognized as one of the largest jobbers/wholesalers of bananas in North America.

Mark Levin is one of several family members excited about having the fourth generation, including daughter Tracie Levin,

ounting Academy, Emmy, Grammy and Tony Award winners and Pulitzer Prize honorees among its more than 300,000 products, Settlement Music School, 416 Queen St., has never shied away from being a pioneer.

The Queen Village institution opened in 1908 as an offshoot of the College Settlement House, formerly 425-35 Christian St., and assists children and adults with dance, music and visual arts instruction.

Rapid community growth and demand prompted the ’17 building of the Mary Louise Curtis Branch, where one can often find Executive Director Helen Eaton.

“I grew up hearing about Settlement and wanted to add to its legacy of artistic expression,” she said.

Annually allotting more than $2 million in financial aid, the six-branch Settlement family calls upon more than 300 faculty and staff to strengthen the creative universe.

“Our faculty is the heart and soul of our institution,” Eaton said. “Their commitment is why I feel the Curtis Branch is the pplace to be.”

outh Philadelphia High School, 2101 S. Broad St., has graduated about 40,000 students since opening in 1907 as the Southern Manual Training High School for Boys. The Lower Moya-

mensing location welcomed an adjoining girls’ site in ’16, and integrated genders in ’55. It has gone from educating workingclass Italian and Jewish immigrants to becoming a mini League of Nations.

“Our school has produced cultural and athletic leaders second to none,” ’58 graduate Sam Chatis said of the institution that counts Marian Anderson and Mario Lanza as products.

Marc Adelman, a ’57 degree clutcher and the alumni association’s archive chairperson, described Principal Otis Hackney as a remarkable educator.

nastasi Seafood, 1101 S. Ninth St., has had numerous locations since its 1908 inlo ception c but only one goal — peddling delicious aquatic i goods. The Bella Vista hawker h has relied on the expertise ex of five generations to reel in consumers without roping ropi in their wallets.

“It’s always been in my blood to take care car of my customers, get the nicest product produ and sell it at a fair price,” Salvatore Anastasi, who has run the store Anas since ’85, said.

The fourth-generation product, who enlists sister Janet as co-owner, began aiding his kin 45 years ago, tending to eels and clams. He now focuses on crabs, his site’s top draw, which North Carolina’s Outer Banks provide. International lands also help Anastasi, who foresees his establishment offering more prepared items.

“We’ve come a long way since my greatgrandfather [Thomas Anastasio] began with a horse and carriage,” he said, “and we’re proud to continue to serve the community.” SPR

ussian immigrant Isaac Bruskin arrived on the local scene by going door-to-door offering locksmith and key-making services. Two years later, in 1910, he expanded his is local role and opened Bruskin Hardware, 2451 S. Fifth St., still offering those services, es, while wife Estella soldd house-ware items and managed the store.

In the ’40s, Isaac’s son, Harry, gained ownership of the Whitman store, and today, his offspring Irv manages it with his son.

“The neighborhoodd ally has changed, but we really e,” Irv haven’t. We’re just here,” said.

Bruskin Hardware, however, has made a name for itself, with its lock-and-key work becoming its trademark service. A full selection of nails, tools and accessories, as well as hardware and do-it-yourself advice, helps customers to fulfill all of their needs.

“We’ve had customers who have been coming here for years. They know my father, so I consider that to be a long time,” he said.

Brotherly butchers

T

hree generations of family ownership and more than 100 years of business have maintained D’Angelo Bros., 909 S. Ninth St., as a leader in the Italian Market’s butcher scene.

The key to a successful business is providing a high-quality product, and that all starts at the source, owner Sonny D’Angelo said.

“My stuff comes in internationally,” D’Angelo, who inherited the Bella Vista shop that his grandfather Sam started in 1910, said. “We deal with farmers that we’ve dealt with for over 100 years. I deal with great-grandchildren of the original owner, and we’ve got a great network of suppliers.”

D’Angelo, who keeps an eye on the breed, age, feed and raising methods of the animals he buys, attributes his dedication to his grandfather.

“The stores that are open for this long have always done a quality product, and the ones that didn’t are no longer here,” he said. “It’s not a business. It’s a legacy.”

t. Nicholas of Tolentine Church, 1718 S. Ninth St., is using “Faith, Family and Tradition” as its theme to mark its triple-digit identity. The East Passyunk Crossing haven, South Philly’s only remaining Italian National Parish, has guided hundreds of thousands of souls since The Order of the Hermits of St. Augustine formed it as a mission chapel offshoot of Our Lady of Good Counsel, formerly 815 Christian St. Its 87-year–old school has educated hundreds of thousands of Catholics, too, including Rev. Nick Martorano.

“It is a pleasure to be a leader in the parish community,” its spiritual head said.

Since its April 15, 1912 dedication, the worship spot has honored its linguistic lore through its 8 a.m. Sunday Italian Mass and religious roots since ’37 with a Procession of the Saints.

“We are a tight community,” Martorano said. “I enjoy giving back to people so blessed with humility.”

harles Santore Branch, 932 S. Seventh St., will close for renovations May 29 to Sept. 4 to improve its allure for its second century of service.

“It’s going to be an all-day affair with lots of activities and gifts,” Janet Puchino, Santore’s branch manager, said of the Nov. 10 anniversary celebration.

Originally debuting at Fifth and Ells-

worth streets in 1912, the Southwark Library moved 51 years later to its Bella Vista site, which features a book and multimedia collection in six languages.

Since its 2004 dedication to their father, a longtime Republican ward leader, son Charles has created a mural for its patio wall while son Richie has hosted Friends of the Santore Library fundraisers at his business, The Saloon, 750 S. Seventh St. “We try to hit it sparingly,” the Broadand-Moore-streets resident said of donation fund, “but since we have wonderful patrons, we’re able to get little things that we do need in the library.”

ounder Rev. John Greensill laid the cornerstone of St. Edmond Church, 23rd and Mifflin streets, in 1912. Named officially for St. Edmond of Canterbury, the worship site later was

relocated to 2101 S. 21st St., a former cemetery. In ’18, the parish doubled over three years. The West Passyunk church underwent major renovations in ’87, and for the 75th anniversary, stained glass doors were installed, and murals were depicted on the main and side altars and their surrounding areas.

A highlight of its century-old history was the choir’s opportunity to sing in Rome’s St. Peter’s Basilica on Pentecost Sunday in 2004. A high Mass with Archbishop Charles J. Chaput is planned for 10 a.m.

June 10 to celebrate 100 years of faith and fellowship.

magine paying $7 a month for a South Street storefront. It’s a tad off from the current-day prices, but the origin of Snockey’s Oyster and Crab House, originally known as Frank’s Oyster House, dates back to 1912. Restaurant founder Frank Snock opened the doors three weeks after the sinking of the Titanic.

“I know it was May 3 because my grandmother was in labor and she went upstairs and had a baby,” third-generation owner Ken Snock, who heads the family operation with his brother Skip, said. “She came down two days later with the baby and went into the kitchen. She worked there until 1991.”

The establishment is celebrating 100 years of offering patrons scallops, crabs, mussels and, of course, raw oysters. It moved to its current location at 1020 S. Second St., in ’75.

“My brother and I were determined to get to the 100-year mark,” Ken said.

Carnivores call on D’Angelo Bros., a butchering beacon, to sate their desires for tasty products, which it has done through long relationships with farmers.

or precisely 100 years, community members have trusted United Savings Bank, 1510 Packer Ave., with what many value most: Their money.

Rather than celebrate with an extravagant event, United preferred to just keep doing what it does.

“We’re the same bank, the same company since 1912, and I think there’s something to be said for that,” its Vice President Chad McGroarty said.

The bank’s first location debuted at 21st and Wharton streets, with the Packer Park location opening its doors in ’62. Through economic crises, wars and more, United has withstood the test of time, expanded throughout the Delaware Valley and maintained its commitment to its customers.

“Now more than ever, in this economy and this environment, people want personalized service,” he said. “It’s important to people that they know who their banks are.”

In 1913, 10 years after its closure, the City transformed the space into one of its earliest playgrounds.

“It’s not just something that’s there today but it’s been an important place for child and families for many, many years,” Friends of Shot Tower Playground member Cynthia Temple said.

In June, Friends plans to instill a sign detailing the history of the Queen Village plot, which includes a recreation center,

toddler play area, spray pool and baseball field, that pick-up football, Taney Little League and soccer games, as well as an annual Easter Egg Hunt, fall festival and summer movie series, occupy.

“It’s a really busy place,” Temple, of Front and Carpenter streets, said.

Health is on the way

T

he Christian Street YMCA, 1724 Christian St., did not invent the belief that robust bodies foster sturdy

minds, but the South of South haunt devotes each second to furthering the wedding of physical and mental health. The city’s first African-American YMCA debuted in 1914 and offers an abundance of activities for children and adults.

“We are much more than a swimming facility,” 10th-year Executive Director Michele Stevenson said, noting her location’s basketball tradition, which includes the ’53 YMCA Championship team with Wilt Chamberlain.

The leader revealed the joy she receives from watching the funneling of youngsters through health and wellness programs as their strength and coordination develop and spoke of an increase in family programs that increase the neighborhood’s overall sense of unity.

“People who visit us care about themselves and their community,” Stevenson said. “Knowing them empowers me.”

65th ANNIVERSARY ISSUE to just the latter. No matter the content, she and her offspring share a philosophy.

“I love working,” she said while overlooking the 40 offerings that make the shop a year-round gem and a holiday hit.

“We try the best we can because we have loyal followers accustomed to tradition,” her son added.

Those supporters receive made-to-order treats from the store’s Delaware County factory, enjoying goods perfected at 70 degrees Fahrenheit.

“There is no secret with the candy,” John Lerro, grooming two sons to continue the legacy begun in 1916, said. “We’re grateful to have earned the respect of so many people over such a long period.”

Family matters

T

he passing of a loved one is typically a tearful and painful experience, but funerals are a part of life, and Murphy-Ruffenach Funeral Home, 2239 S. Third St., has been keeping families satisfied since 1915. Michael Ruffenach continues to run the Pennsport location while Steven Ruffenach oversees operations at 2101 S. 21st St. The third-generation siblings and graduates of the former Bishop Neumann High School pride themselves on keeping the family business and tradition — from

the evening visitation to the Mass — intact.

“Over the years, we remember hearing the stories of those who went before us,” Steven said. “We remember our grandmother would wait for the flowers. [Families] feel comforted by the service we’ve provided their family. The fact that they come back is rewarding in itself.”

Constructing family values

S

ince its 1918 start, P. Agnes Inc., 2101 Penrose Ave., has become one of the oldest, family-owned construction firms in the region.

“We have long-standing relationships with clients, and I think they choose our business and are still with us today because they are reassured in knowing that we are a family business and not a big corporate company,” Pat Pasquariello, whose grandfather, Pellegrino Agnes, founded the business, said.

Agnes started doing local construction jobs and working out of his home, but his son, Lou, received credit for becoming its driving force. Specializing in health care and educational projects, the Packer Park business is responsible for buildings at Thomas Jefferson University and the University of Pennsylvania.

Those craving a great meal and a melody would be hard-pressed to find a choice that could top Victor’s Cafe, where singing accompanies eating each evening.

“He was able to transform the company into what it is today: A well-known, wellrecognized construction and contracting business,” Pasquariello said.

Hankering for harmony

V

ictor’s Café, 1301 Dickinson Street, has become a classic since opening its doors in 1918. What John DiStefano originally established as a gramophone shop was transformed into a restaurant full time when prohibition was repealed in ’33.

Artists would frequent to sign autographs

over the course of the café’s history, and soon it evolved into a musical venue.

In ’79, the first singing waiter was hired.

“That’s when the practice of having singing floor-staff began,” manager Darryl Williams said.

The musical renditions occur every 15 to 20 minutes seven nights a week within the walls of the third-generation-owned eatery.

Recently, Williams said business has been going well. Altering the menu and improving the service level and food quality have helped.

“We also have a beautiful candlelit lounge on the second floor,” he said. “Any night of the week, it’s a nice, cozy place to have a drink.” SPR

65th ANNIVERSARY ISSUE

Review review

From our days on Seventh Street covering the immediate vicinity to our expansion to our present day boundaries, we have reported on community news for 65 years.

Lauren Hertzler Review Intern

A Updating our status

T

he very first edition of the So. 7th Street News (now the South Philly Review) was published in 1947. Leon Levin purchased the paper two years later. My wife and I had the good fortune to buy the paper from his family in ’86.

At that point, the paper was essentially a “shopper” where almost all of the pages were nothing but ads.

Since then, the South Philly Review has grown up to serve as The Paper of Record for the South Philadelphia Community. It has received more awards from local, regional and national judges than many of us have had hot dinners.

It has survived three increasingly challenging recessions, gone from old-fashioned to high-tech production and launched its newest website design in 2009.You also can subscribe to the South Philly Review e-Newsletter at southphillyreview.com.

It has several folks there who have been on the team for between 20 and (almost) 40 years. They are still young, in both head and heart. Every member of the team is a vital part of the life blood and soul of the paper, mirroring constantly who is who, what’s up and down, and as much of everything they can cover that’s going on in South Philadelphia.

Bottom line: Whether or not you live off of Snyder Avenue or have moved to Alaska, you can always read your Review at any time of day. Why? Because a dedicated and passionate crew — many of whom are long-term residents of your community — are is there to create it for you.

Why are they all there? Because they really do care about you, your family and all of your neighbors. Your challenges and successes, your daily needs, hopes and desires are what the paper and its digital cousins strive to reflect — with credibility and honesty.

Some people think the days of newspapers are over. We completely disagree. We successfully continue to bring our local readers together with our local advertisers. Through good times and tough times, we are there. We can and will remain there. The information you need will still be available in print. It also will be available increasingly in electronic form, especially as mobile phones and so-called tablets like the iPad become cheaper to make and easier to afford.

In short, we feel honored to be Your Local Paper. We give you our word that we’ll give it everything we’ve got to keep it that way, whether printed or otherwise, for the next 65 years. SPR —Anthony Clifton Chairman & CEO Review Publishing

small-staffed, neighborhood newspaper, the South Philly Review has certainly evolved its content, design and coverage since its early days as the So. 7th Street News, 2322 S. Seventh St. In 1947, it, covered the Seventh Street business district. Two years later Leon Levin, an ad salesman, bought the tabloid-sized paper, with about eight pages per issue.

It was initially printed at Fifth Street and Girard Avenue and distributed for free on Fridays. On a tight budget, Levin, at one point, served as a writer, business manager and sales representative.

As the paper expanded its coverage area from the Seventh Street corridor to more of Southeast Philly, including the area bounded by Tasker, Broad and Front streets, as well as Packer Avenue, it took on the name The South Philadelphia Review and moved to 1646 S. Seventh St. in the fall of ’49. Its expanded territory meant more opportunities for advertising and community interests.

Looking through our very own print archives, we found that advertising took over the look of the paper in ’50, in black-and-white of course. The paper started to grow to 20 or more pages throughout the ’50s, as advertising sales and announcements increased.

Some early contests had photographers take photos of residents around South Philadelphia and offer a prize if he or she took the advertisement to the designated location to claim the prize. Known for covering local issues, the Review stayed on top of national issues as well, such as when the Korean War began injuring and taking the lives of South Philadelphian military members in the early ’50s.

Around ’52, the Review relocat-

ed its headquarters a block south to 1707-09 S. Seventh St. On April 25, ’58, the paper expanded its boundaries westward, covering 17th to 34th streets between Reed Street and Packer Avenue, naming this area’s paper the South Philadelphia ReviewChronicle.

In November ’62, the Review moved from Seventh to a building at 12th and Porter streets, where we still rest today.

In May ’64, the Review split its initial ever-expanding coverage area to create the South Philadelphia Review-East and South Philadelphia Review-West. The papers all covered similar stories, but based the story layouts and advertisements off of the population’s interest.

By the ’70s, the Review had about 30 pages per issue and a decade later it was printing about 40.

Levin launched the Welcomat, now Philadelphia Weekly in ’71, but he died eight years later at the age of 72. His family took over operation until current CEO Anthony Clifton bought the company in’86.

Spot-color printing became popular for the Review in the mid-‘80s, when the paper began using shades of red. In the early-‘90s it had a limited number full-color pages.

In the late-’90s, the Review topped its charts with the largest number of printed pages, with about 72 to 76 per regular issue.

The paper had its second makeover in two years on Oct. 12, ’95, debuting its new look and a few new columns. That same month, the newspaper began a biweekly television program called South

Philadelphia Review Magazine on Greater Media Cable’s channel 66 for a season.

On Nov. 27, ’03, the ReviewChronicle, Review-East and Review-West joined as one, making the South Philly Review what it is today with sister Review Publishing papers Philadelphia Weekly and Atlantic City Weekly, which was founded in ’00 as Whoot!.

Now the Review publishes more than 40 pages per regular issue, with every editorial page in color.

Today, we happily celebrate our 65th year of existence with you, our readers. We look forward to coninuing our coverage of South Philly for as long as you’ll welcome us to your doorstep and computer screen. SPR

65th ANNIVERSARY ISSUE

Cold cuts, rolls and vegetables have found fewer older helpers than Ricci Bros. Hoagies. Allegiance to family recipes has kept the eatery thriving.

Let’s meat

T

he Riccis started their family hoagie shop in 1920, but when the clan was unable to continue operation, the second-generation trio of brothers went to their neighbor, a businessman, 12 years ago.

“When they asked me if I wanted to buy it, I jumped at the opportunity,” Richard Pagliarella, current owner of Ricci Bros. Hoagies, 1165 S. 11th St., who formerly ran a nearby candy store and 7-Eleven. “In fact, I sold everything I had just to buy that place.”

Pagliarella, hopes his son Richard Jr., who helps out, takes control to keep the Passyunk Square eatery’s original recipes, such as turkey and cheese, as well as Italian Tuna with provolone, alive.

“I kept everything the same; I never changed anything,” the native of 22nd Street and Snyder Avenue, who currently lives across the street from the shop at 11th and Federal streets, said.

Frank-ly speaking

C

ustomers might think it’s all about the roses at Quinn’s Flower Shop, 2008 S. Third St., but the dedication from a long line of Frank Quinns also has helped this 91-year-old success story blossom. Fourth-generation proprietor Frank Quinn IV runs the business with his grandmother, Mary Quinn, and aunt, Eileen Quinn-Cassidy.

“It’s about the togetherness of being with the family,” he said of the business his great-grandfather, Frank Quinn Sr., found-

Quinn’s Flower Shop has prospered from having four generations put petals to the metal, timely delivering to area churches, among other clients. ed in 1921. “It’s like having Thanksgiving dinner every weekend with the family.”

Now 5-year-old Frank Quinn V even helps out with deliveries for the Pennsportbased business that regularly deals with the Mummers, St. Nicholas of Tolentine, Our Lady of Mount Carmel and Sacred Heart of Jesus.

“We love dealing with the people from the neighborhood,” Frank IV said.

65th ANNIVERSARY ISSUE

Authentic Italian cuisine

I

mmigrating from Italy in the early 1920s, Salvatore and Chiarina Marra brought an authentic Italian cuisine to the streets of South Philly. A staple, Marra’s Cucina Italiana, 1734 E. Passyunk Ave., first opened in 1927. Grandson Robert D’Adamo and his cousin Maurizio DeLuca now act as co-owners.

“It’s a tie between the original cheese pizza and the margherita pie,” Robert D’Adamo Jr. said about the menu’s most popular items.

Since opening 85 years ago, a fair share of celebrities, including John Travolta and Tommy Lasorda, has dined at the establishment famous for its award-winning “Original Brick Oven” pizza. The bricks were even imported from Italy along with the old-school recipes.

“I think that being around so long is a great thing,” D’Adamo said. “It goes right along with that South Philly family pride.”

65th ANNIVERSARY ISSUE

Pat on Pat’s back

W

hen talking about South Philly, what is the first thing most people think about? Finding a parking spot near the office or house doesn’t count. Next on the list: Where can one get a good cheesesteak? The correct answer is a matter of personal preference, but Pat’s King of Steaks, 1237 E. Passyunk Ave., owned and operated by the Olivieri family since 1930, takes the mark of a legend among local grill masters.

Believe it or not, the Passyunk Square landmark actually began as a hot-dog stand until founder Pat Olivieri tried a lunchtime experiment with the meat he purchased from the butcher. He prepared it on the grill, placed the finished product on an Italian roll and added some onions for decoration.

By the way, the Olivieri family has maintained the hot dog as a staple menu item.

Aging well

F

rom a distance, the small Whitman eatery, might not look like anything special. Patrons stroll in and out daily carrying their sandwich of choice and take a seat at one of the picnic tables located outside of John’s Roast Pork, 14 Snyder Ave. Those thinking it is just another sandwich joint would likely find themselves in a heated debate, as the landmark dates back to 1930 when Domenico Bucci arrived from Italy to share his topsecret recipe.

Two generations and 82 years later, John’s remains a hot lunch spot. John Bucci oversees the operation with his mother, Vonda, 79. John Sr., father and husband, also had a stake prior to his ’91 passing.

“It’s very, very rewarding,” John, a 2300 block of South Rosewood Street native, said. “My grandfather started it and now I am part of it with my mom. We have grown with the customers and their families.”

Coming on time

P

rior to a subway system, privately operated surface trolleys dominated Philly’s streets, but in order to curtail street traffic a need for the underground alternative was created.

The third line to hit the tracks, the Broad Street Line, run by Philadelphia Transit Co., expanded to South Street in 1930.

Eight years later, Snyder became its southern end until ’73 when Oregon and Pattison, renamed AT&T in 2010, were completed in time for the Phillies season opener.

Feasibility studies, including Philadel-

phia2035, have suggested a Navy Yard addition to the line, which carries 137,000 passengers daily on weekdays.

“One of the known factors for why they only built it to Snyder was because south of Snyder they didn’t really know how to build it because of the water and drainage south of Snyder,” John LaForce, SEPTA’s deputy chief engineer in engineering maintenance and construction, said. “There were [trash] dumps.”

80-year freeze

I

n 1932, Fillipo “Pops” Italiano began selling Italy’s favorite frozen treat, water ice, from a pushcart along Oregon Avenue to subsidize household income for his ever-growing family. Since then, Pop’s Homemade Italian Water Ice Co., 1337 W. Oregon Ave., has grown from a singleflavor sensation to one of South Philly’s favorite spots for a tasty treat.

Now run by third-generation family members, the Marconi business boasts 24 flavors and the same method of creation its founder perfected. Today’s creators still hand-squeeze the lemons used in itsrecipe at their original location.

“We pride ourselves in customer service and excellence in product,” third-generation owner Linda Raffa, who introduced cherry to the company’s flavor repertoire, said.

Always accommodating first-time customer at Grassia’s

A

Italian Market Spice Co., 949 S. Ninth St., at the time of its opening 80 years ago might have been surprised by some of the merchandise — especially that which oozed slowly past the cash register.

“Back when the LoCascio family owned it, they sold live snails,” present-day owner Tina Grassia said. “They walked all over the counter.”

Today’s customers may have to settle for more traditional goods like spices, sauces

Especially attractive to tourists, Pat’s King of Steaks lets everyone have a cow, with even Bart Simpson not likely to put a fight. and teas, but the quality products and family-oriented owners have made it a staple in the Italian Market since 1932.

“We’re family-owned and operated, so we don’t lose sight of who we’re here for,” Grassia, who often keeps the Bella Vista store open a couple hours later to give customers a chance to shop after work, said. “We’re on the same level. We try to accommodate the neighborhood working people.”

Pop’s Homemade Italian Water Ice Co. has become an annual palate pleaser with an emphasis on irresistible flavors.

No more training wheels

F

ounded in the 1930s, the once-lunchtruck-turned-diner prides itself on providing quality American dining.

However, George Ezangou, owner of South Street Diner, 140 South St., which formally opened in ’78, was Greek.

“Originally, he had the truck. But he wanted to expand, and incorporate more Greek and American dishes,” Tina Lucas, a current employee, said.

Ezangou retired two years ago, and Mark Kline, an owner of several Philly area restaurants and diners, bought the place, with plans of improvement. Kline acquired a liquor license and made the diner 24/7 — a characteristic associated with Ezangou’s original diner.

The menu, however, still includes some of Ezangou’s traditional meals.

“We have a lot of Greek specials, as well as Italian and seafood ones, to keep up with the community,” Lucas said.

Top-heavies

Grassia’s Italian Market Spice Co. is a quality pick for anyone looking to prove that variety is the spice of life.

A 1970s advertisement hints at the Fortuna Roofing & Sons Inc.’s old motto of “We baby your house.” grateful for every coating he and his kin have been able to apply.

“I love taking care of South Philadelphia families,” Michael, who as a 13-year-old conducted estimates with father Phil Fortuna, said. “That is always what I have wanted.”

Commercial and residential properties have benefited from the Marconi clan’s allegiance to assurance.

“We get in, we get out and everybody stays safe,” Michael, whose two sons are furthering their great-grandfather Joe Fortuna’s mission, said. “One of the most important aspects of life is keeping a home sound, and my opportunities to calm people still appeals to me after all these years.”

“It’s not the good news that travels, it’s the bad news that travels,” he said. “We’re still doing it so we must be doing something right.”

L

ou Capozzoli found patriarch Anthony “Ray” Capozzoli’s choosing to welcome patrons with “Happy Birthday” instead of “Hello” so endearing that his father’s 1997 death led him to rename Ray’s Bar, which opened in ’38, “Ray’s Happy Birthday Bar,” 1200 E. Passyunk Ave. The younger Capozzoli is primed to continue to make it an attractive location for libations.

“The neighborhood has changed dramatically, to the point I never worry about any trouble,” the proprietor said.

He offers Friday karaoke and Saturday musical accompaniment to make his Passyunk Square haunt, which has appeared in four movies, more appealing. He even performs, wielding a saxophone and belting vocals a few times a year, and has added an exterior sign bearing customer and celebrity birthdays.

“I have loved keeping Ray’s as a great gathering place,” he said. “I feel we’re only getting better.”

Say ‘Cheese’

O

ver his 41 years as owner of Lucio J. Mancuso & Son Cheese Shop, 1902 E. Passyunk Ave., Philip Mancuso has used his Italian heritage to guide his approach.

“Chi amo il suo labore lo fa bene,” its proprietor said. “He who loves his work does it well.”

Originating in 1940 with his father Lucio helming the transactions, the East Passyunk Crossing store has kept Mancuso occupied for most of his life.

“I began as a boy and used the cans as my version of an Erector Set,” he said.

His patriarch deemed East Passyunk Avenue a lucrative site and rented the store’s space for 20 years before purchasing it in ’60. The compact possession offers fresh basket, mozzarella, ricotta and scamorza cheeses, along with a commitment to pleasing patrons.

“The rewarding aspects of serving the public are immeasurable,” Mancuso said.

“You have to enjoy what you do, and sharing my love of quality products makes me very happy.”

nthony Nardone still works at the same store that employed him when he was a boy. However, his involvement at Cold Cut Hut, 2147 S. 16th St., has evolved. The summer job that once funded his childhood endeavors is now the Newbold business he owns, along with his wife, Judy, that has lasted for 65 years and counting.

It opened in 1947 as Caso’s, the surname of Nardone’s grandparents.

“I remember stopping in there all the time,” he said. “After school, even for lunchtime.”

In ’75, Nardone took over the store that remains in its original building today. Constructed in 1895, the edice rst served as a bakery, then a fruit store and, nally, the grocery store.

“We have the same products all the time — kind of the opposite of a dollar store that carries whatever’s available,” Nardone said. “We keep it consistent, and people get used to it.”

“We perpetuate an artisan approach,” he said. “We want the best possible products meeting our customers’ eyes and pleasing their stomachs.”

Fourteen types of ravioli headline his wares, but he proudly touts all his dishes as exercises in healthy, gratifying eating.

“I had shopped here for years,” Lomanno said of going from being a picker to enjoying time as a chooser. “I know its reputation and have worked to help everyone to find a satisfying meal.”

hough it used to attract hundreds of football enthusiasts, Delaware Valley Youth Athletic Association, 2840 S. 18th St., has become a haven for baseball lovers. Five years after its 1951 formation, the Marconi site added Little League play, and remains the city’s lone chartered site for such introductory action.

“Baseball is our legacy and we enjoy welcoming youngsters to our various teams,” Anthony Benedetto Sr. said.

President since 1997, he has forged a 28-year involvement with the entity, becoming acquainted with it when son Anthony Benedetto Jr. began taking swings.

The older figure credits great coaches for molding dedicated diamond dwellers, whose participation makes them eligible to play in the Little League World Series.

hen Italian immigrant Sylvio DiCristo opened JC Chinese, which was originally a bar, in 1958, he wanted to create a space specifically for South Philly.

He overheard that customers traveled to Chinatown for its ethnic food, and decided to accommodate the demand.

“He served mussels at the bar of course, but he wanted to keep locals local,” Renee DiCristo, his daughter and JC co-owner said.

Sylvio bought the East Passyunk Crossing building behind the eatery to expand the kitchen and dining area, and created a menu with chef John Lee that incorporated area favorites and traditional Chinese dishes, such as Gen. Tso’s chicken, cheesesteak rolls and chicken wings.

“My brother Joseph learned everything from my father, and I learned everything from him,” she said. “So even when my father died 25 years ago, we were still able to have the restaurant he wanted.”

Family and friends conceived the site in ’61, and the spot’s third-year president, William Ronayne Jr., has served as the administrator for the Mario Lanza Scholarship auditions since 2004, with his tenure increasing the total distribution to more than 200 winners. Many have emulated their predecessor by achieving stardom in opera and on the concert stage, with memorabilia from his career available in the museum, now in its fourth location.

Opened by Dan Olivieri Sr. in 1957 and now operated by his wife Lena Olivieri and son, Dan Olivieri Jr., this family-owned business has proven commitment to quality merchandise and convenience for customers.

“We offer a big selection just like the big stores but at a small, neighborhood price,” Olivieri Jr. said.

The initial business was located in the building next to the now-jewelry store, but with the need for a bigger, more modern space, successful sales allowed for the move in ’80.

Olivieri Jr. and his mother boast that they, as business owners, know what people in the neighborhood want.

“Keeping up with the current trends,” Olivieri Jr. said, has allowed the business to “make people know we’re trustworthy.”

The Pennsylvania Rail-

road built the Washington Avenue waterfront station welcomed waves of mainly English and Irish immigrants who landed in Philadelphia by way of steamship. Today, the transportation hub has been replaced with various ethnic restaurants and stores.

Ridgeway Library (18781980s) Construction of the Ridgeway Library, 901 S. Broad St., the fourth home of the Library Company of Philadelphia that Benjamin Franklin founded in 1731, was completed in 1878. The space, which the Free Library of Philadelphia occupied since 1944 and purchased by ’60, was abandoned by the ’80s.

The building was restored and became home to the Philadelphia High School of Creative and Performing Arts in ’97.

Palumbo Restaurant (1884-1994) Established in 1884 as a boarding house for Italian workers, Frank Palumbo transformed the establishment into an iconic South Philly entertainment complex and restaurant, Eighth and Catharine streets. Mario Lanza, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Frankie Avalon and Sammy Davis Jr. were some of the acts who performed there before it burned down in 1994.

Verdi Hall (1905-1920s) Founded and managed by the Giannini family, Verdi Hall, 713 Christian St., showcased the top Italian performers until the late

1920s. It was converted into a neighborhood movie theater and since has been demolished.

Fante-Leone Pool (19052004) Built in 1905 as a recreational space for immigrant workers, the Montrose and Darien streets pool is the oldest public pool in the city. The pool was renamed in ’90 to honor local leaders Dominic Fante and Anthony Leone. As a result of budget cuts, it was closed in 2004, with plans to be transformed into housing, but soon those were abandoned.

Broadway Theatre (19131971) Opened in 1913, the vaudeville theater was once South Philly’s largest theater with 2,183 seats. It closed in early ’70, and was demolished in ’71 for a drive-through restaurant, but the site now houses Walgreens, 2014 S. Broad St. Royal Theater (19201970) Built in 1919, the neoGeorgian theater, 1524-34 South St., which seated 1,100 patrons, began serving the African-American community the following year. The theater become an

important starting-point for the Negro Motion Picture Operators Union. It closed in ’70, but was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.

JFK Stadium (1926-1992) Opened in 1926 to showcase the Sesquicentennial International Exposition events, the Municipal Stadium, 3601 S. Broad St., which hosted Philadelphia Eagles and Army-Navy games, was renamed John F. Kennedy (JFK) Stadium in ’64 to honor the president, who was assassinated the previous year. The facility was demolished in ’92. The Wells Fargo Center, opened at the same spot in ’96.

Stiffel Senior Center (1928-2011) In 1928, the Jewish Education Center No. 2, 604 W. Porter St., was known for providing Hebrew classes and recreational activities for the Jewish community.

When the building was damaged by a fire in ’85, it continued to provide services for the Jewish community, as well as the neighborhood, when the Stiffels provided recovery funds.

It was renamed Jacob and Esther Stiffel Senior Center in their honor, but it was forced to close last year because of operation and maintenance expenses.

ers until its closing, the building was renovated and turned into condominiums in 2005.

Aquarama Aquarium Theater of the Sea (19621969) Aquarama, 3300 S. Broad St. advertised as Philly’s marine wonderland, enjoyed a grand, if brief, seven-year stint. Access to the 10-acre park’s more than 50 fish tanks and attractions that included whales and porpoises cost $1 for children and $2 for adults. Today, the area is occupied by CVS Pharmacy and Wills Eye Surgery Center.

Spectrum (1967-2009) Ed Snider opened the indoor sports complex at 11th Street and Pattison Avenue, in 1967, just 16 months after conceptualizing the idea. Hosting the Flyers and Sixers until ’96 and a variety of concerts, the arena changed names several times in its lifespan, and closed in October 2009. It was demolished in ‘10, and Xfinity Live! now occupies the site.

Veterans Stadium (19712003) Known as The Vet, the circular venue for the Phillies and Eagles with Astroturf and a seating capacity of 65,000, broke ground in October 1967, and opened for the Phillies home opener four years later.

Revisiting Hollywood’s gems Here’s a look at 10 films celebrating a milestone anniversary worthy of a fresh screening.

By R. Kurt Osenlund

drama about America’s favorite outlaw couple emerged as a response to the French New Wave, and ushered in a New Hollywood that wouldn’t shy away from tough violence.

Warren Beatty cemented his chops as both star and producer, and Faye Dunaway brought heart to the criminal pair, whose death by hail of bullets is stirringly indelible.

Movie Reviewer

W

ith roughly a dozen new movies released in theaters each week, one doesn’t often think to skip the latest and greatest and revisit classics of the past. Such is why anniversaries are great for old films — they provide an event through which titles of yesterday can be recognized, and sometimes, inspire new viewers to catch a gem they regrettably missed. In honor of this anniversary issue, 10 films have been selected for celebration, each one hitting a milestone this year. All are worth rediscovering, or perhaps, discovering for the first time.

50th Anniversary: Lawrence of Arabia (1962) Before computers gave us eye-poppers like the “Lord of the Rings” films, “Lawrence of Arabia” was the film epic by which all that came after would be judged. Directed by David Lean and featuring Peter O’Toole’s defining performance, this two-part biopic of T.E. Lawrence is as sprawling as it is timeless, with Freddie Young’s cinematography celebrated as a game-changer.

20th Anniversary: The Crying Game (1992) Known by many as a movie with one big genderbending shocker, Neil Jordan’s “The Crying Game” isn’t often given proper credit as an air-tight, highly unique drama, with an unlikely love triangle tied to the events of the Irish Troubles. With superb performances from Stephen Rea and Jaye Davidson, this gritty curio captivated critics upon release, and rode its buzz to a handful of Oscar nods.

55th Anniversary: The Three Faces of Eve (1957) A landmark film about mental illness, “The Three Faces of Eve” tells the true story of Chris Costner Sizemore, who secretly suffered from Dissociative identity disorder. In her Oscar-winning performance, Joanne Woodward portrays all three of Sizemore’s personalities: Eve White, Eve Black, and Jane. It was Woodward’s breakout role, and a mammoth one at that.

25th Anniversary: The Princess Bride (1987) Indeed, it may seem inconceivable that two-anda-half decades have passed since Princess Buttercup (Robin Wright) braved the Fire Swamp with Westley (Cary Elwes). After all, Rob Reiner’s rendering of William Goldman’s fantasy novel holds up remarkably well, still deeply funny and superbly paced in all its genre-mashing. It’s hard to pick a favorite supporting player, but odds are many would choose Billy Crystal as Miracle Max, a medicine man like no other.

30th Anniversary: Blade Runner (1982) Rightly deemed as one of the greatest sci-fi films of all time, Ridley Scott’s “Blade Runner” is a visionary titan of the genre, and surely the signature adaptation of a work by the brilliant Philip K. Dick. A rain-soaked, dystopian noir that explores the subculture of artificial “replicants,” the movie boasts Harrison Ford’s best brooding tough-guy performance, his Rick Deckard serving as a bogie for the future.

35th Anniversary: Killer of Sheep (1977) Released a whopping 30 years after it was completed (simply due to music rights not being secured), Charles Burnett’s “Killer of Sheep” made a whole lot of top-10 lists in 2007. But the film is still considered a ’70s title,

60th Anniversary:

and regardless, its episodic, neorealist nature helps to keep it unbound by time altogether. Shot in black and white and depicting urban struggles in L.A., it’s the rarest gem on this list.

40th Anniversary: Cabaret (1972) “The Godfather” will forever be 1972’s biggest triumph, but Bob Fosse’s “Cabaret” is equally worthy of observance, standing as one of the best musicals ever made.

Uncompromising in its frank sexuality and 1931 Berlin setting, the film includes the performance of Liza Minnelli’s career, not to mention an unforgettable turn from Joel Grey. Contained within a nightclub, the music never invades the drama, it only accents it.

45th Anniversary: Bonnie and Clyde (1967) What would the movies be without “Bonnie and Clyde?”

Far more influential than many folks know, this raw crime

High Noon (1952) Told in gripping real time, “High Noon” sees Gary Cooper independently square off against a gang of murderers, whom no one in his New Mexico town will help bring to justice. The movie is home to a memorable supporting turn. The glorious Grace Kelly’s Quaker character is forced to choose between her beliefs and her love for Cooper’s troubled marshal. Not until the whistle of the noon train are all fates decided.

65th Anniversary: Black Narcissus (1947) A stunning Technicolor masterwork from Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger, “Black Narcissus” tells of a rare convent of nuns serving in the remote Himalayas, which provide breathtaking atmosphere for the unfolding drama. Deborah Kerr is a vision as the convent’s Sister Superior, and Kathleen Byron is a bit of a terror as the jealous Sister Ruth, whose final climactic attack results in a famed scuffle that sends her over a cliff’s edge. Heightened by Powell and Pressburger’s trademark sweep, the film, like all in this list, is one to treasure, and one to which you should return.

Homemade Water Ice & Ice Cream

On Passyunk between 22nd & 23rd 215-271-0186 • FB: Datisice Who is Alice Dati? She is a staple in the Philadelphia Water Ice and Ice Cream world, today and for the past 23 years. Her store, Dati’s Homemade Water Ice & Ice Cream, has been quietly serving the best water ice and homemade ice cream without receiving the credit or recognition it deserves.

This is a woman who last summer, even in her 70’s, could still be found at the store window serving customers their favorite treats. A dedicated wife and mother who’s daily routine consisted of having the store ready for opening at noon, working a ten hour day and feeding her family breakfast, lunch and dinner. One word: AMAZING!!!

Alice Dati

Queen of Philadelphia Water Ice & Ice Cream Dati Day Saturday June 9th

Alice, known to many loyal customers as Mrs. Dati, has been through a lot of hardships this past year. Her husband, just a couple months short of their 59th anniversary, died in February. Jerry Dati had been battling the long term effects of smoking for years and in November of last year he fell and was hospitalized.

During his 4 month stay, Alice spent every night by her ‘hubby’s’ bedside. The last few months have taken its toll on her and she has been unable to spend much time at the store. Her son and his friend opened this season and she has been doing what-

ever she can to help. All she can think about is recovering physically and mentally so she can get back to making her delicious water ice and ice cream. In the last month all of her loyal customers have asked “Where’s Mrs. Dati?” hundreds of times.

Free Water Ice!

Alice Dati is a Philadelphia Treasure and the city is lucky to have her and Dati’s Homemade Water Ice and Ice Cream.

“W

hen people come here, they get treated like family,” Vincent Iannelli said from his Passyunk Square brick-oven establishment.

Not the traditional bakery one would usually think of, Iannelli’s Bakery, 1155 E. Passyunk Ave., celebrating its 101st year, now offers a delicious, light pizza made for the season.

The owner, also a resident of the 1100 block of East Passyunk Avenue, shared the recipe for the new home-dining favorite, Fresh Arugula ThinCrust Pizza. SPR —Lauren Hertzler

Vincent’s Fresh Arugula Thin-Crust Pizza INGREDIENTS:

2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil 1 to 2 lemons, cut in half 1/4 teaspoon of granulated garlic Pinch of black pepper 1-1/2 cups of fresh arugula (or about two handfuls) Fresh Parmigiano-Reggiano (Iannelli uses Di Bruno Bros. brand) 1/4 teaspoon of Parmigiano cheese, grated 1/4 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes Thin crust 16-inch pizza pie 1-1/2 to 2 cups of fresh mozzarella

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat the oven to 400 to 450 degrees.

Make a thin, white pie crust and add the oil and mozzarella on top. Sprinkle the granulated garlic, Parmigiano and pepper on top, then bake for about eight minutes.

Slice the pizza then top with the arugula. Shave the Parmigiano-Reggiano all over the pie.

Dust the pie with r, black pepper, granulated garlic and Parmigiano. e Drizzle the olive oil and lemon juice dressing all over the pie.

Dinner is on us

D

eals don’t get much better than this: Cook for us now and we’ll buy you dinner later.

Your favorite recipe could earn you a gift certificate to a local restaurant, so why not share your delicious home cooking with your neighbors? Consider it a way to break bread with thousands without the nasty cleanup.

Whether you want to submit a treat that will cool you off from encroaching heat wave away or show off your fabulous baking skills, we — and our appetites — will be ready.

The Toque Stops Here

Dante and Luigi’s

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

O

pening its doors in 1899, Dante & Luigi’s is one of the oldest restaurants in the city. It was one of the first restaurants I reviewed when I became restaurant critic and I looked forward to lunching with Connie LaRussa, who, along with husband Michael, purchased Dante & Luigi’s 17 years ago.

“The secret is consistency,” Connie said.

“We taste everything everyday. The marinara Michael makes today must taste exactly like the marinara he made years ago.”

Michael, who is a builder and a selftaught chef, is working on renovations to the restaurant, which should be complete by next year. The rooms are open and airy and beautiful to the eye.

As we chatted about the menu, I learned about the couple who could not be more disparate. Connie grew up in a closely knit Greek-American family in Mount Airy. Michael arrived in Philly from his native Sicily at age 9. When he was in his early teens, his mother passed away leaving Michael to cook for his siblings using his mother’s recipes.

I asked the chef to make a tasty, grilledfish dish. He grilled a whole calamari, removed the tentacles and crisped them, and included two grilled shrimp on the plate.

He drizzled on some olive oil, fresh lemon juice and a bit of chopped parsley. We also tasted plump juicy Prince Edward Island mussels prepared in Michael’s marinara.

“You have to try our gnocchi,” Connie said. “We make them with ricotta cheese rather than potatoes.”

Sandy and I preferred them boiled and M a rc o n i / Pa c ke r Pa r k

topped with marinara. These little pillows melted in our mouths.

There are many Italian restaurants in Philly, but visitors flock to Dante and Luigi's.

“As soon as tourists get into a taxi at the airport, the driver asks them what kind of food they like,” she said. “If they say Italian, the drivers recommend Dante & Luigi’s.”

Our server suggested we needed a bit of crunch and brought out a Caesar salad for us to share. The croutons were buttery and obviously homemade. The salad was not a bit over dressed. All it required was some freshly ground black pepper.

A menu probably from the late-’40s or early-’50s hangs in the foyer of the restaurant.

“Several years ago we decided to roll back our prices to those on the [older] menu,” she said. “We did this for two months over the summer. It was a nightmare,” she said as she burst out laughing throwing her arms up in the air. “Everyone wanted this menu. A party of four or five ended up paying about $20 for dinner.”

For me, the test of an Italian restaurant is how its chefs prepare lasagna. I go on the record and proclaim Dante & Luigi’s to be the finest in town.

The thin sheets of fresh homemade pasta is piled high and layered with a rich tasty Bolognese sauce, fresh creamy ricotta cheese and béchamel. It arrived piping hot from the oven.

After one bite, Sandy and I were transported to Michael’s mother’s kitchen.

“We have to save a piece for Edward,” I said. “He is going to love this.”

Connie and I talked about chefs and she

said she has four: Three men in their 50s or 60s and Gina, whom the couple inherited when they bought Dante & Luigi’s.

“We taught her how to bake, so you must try her desserts,” Connie said.

I always prefer ricotta cheesecake to its New York-style cousin. This one was light, airy and not a bit overly sweet. I think the addition of lemon juice and a bit of grated lemon zest would be terrific. Gina’s tiramisu was fashioned with crispy imported lady fingers soaked in strong espresso and layered with mascarpone. It was a big portion as was the cheesecake. You can guess what Edward had for dessert after he finished the lasagna.

We also sampled lemon sorbet, spumoni and chocolate chip ice cream, which Connie buys from Anthony’s Chocolate House in the Italian Market. Dante & Lu-

The building that houses Dante & Luigi’s was built in 1850, Connie said. It has beautiful strong-bone structure because, as they say, they don’t build them like they used to.

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

By Phyllis Stein-Novack Food Columnist

M

y birthday is Sunday, and if I had my druthers, I would rather have $500 to shop in the Ninth Street Italian Market than to go on a spree at Tiffany’s.

In some ways I am much like my grandmother. I purchase almost everything for my table from independent merchants and strive to support local farmers.

Some people say “Ninth Street is not what it used to be.” What is? Change is good and it is inevitable. Still there are a number of stores that have been in business for many years. Fante’s Kitchen Wares opened in 1906, D’Angelo Bros. opened its doors in '10, Di Bruno Bros. appeared on the culinary scene in '39 and Claudio Specialty Foods debuted in the '50s.

I always stop at these four places when visiting the Italian Market.

People travel from the hinterlands to buy Sonny D’Angelo’s sausages. They run the tasty gamut from pork to veal to lamb to venison. Whenever I am hungry for osso bucco, I head to Sonny for veal shanks. I clearly recall one cold, winter day when Sonny hoisted the animal in front of me and started cutting. The veal is organic and humanely raised in Lancaster County, so I count on Sonny to sell me the finest product available.

America’s largest outdoor market, which dates back to the 1800s, continues to inspire evening table scenes guaranteed to be lled with avor.

Fante’s is pure eye candy for me. I was thinking about buying a paella pan and discovered the store stocks these carbon steel pans made in Spain and Italy. Fante’s always states the country that made each item on its website. I moseyed over to the gadget wall where I always find a new addition for my drawer. I considered a melon baller, a hand juicer, a medium-sized mesh strainer or a stainless-steel ladle, especially since Edward broke the cheap plastic one I bought on a whim at a dollar store.

On to Di Bruno’s for the makings of the finest antipasto in town. The cheese mavens gave me samples and helped me to make my selections. I also purchased marinated whole baby artichokes, white anchovies, roasted peppers and an array of olives.

Claudio’s display of olive oils and vinegars is dazzling. I find sherry vinegar from Spain and red wine vinegar from Italy at bottom-line prices. A few cans of San Marzano crushed tomatoes, some imported ladyfingers and several boxes and bags of dried pasta also were on my list.

While shopping on Ninth Street last

week, I stopped at Spice Corner for a packet of black peppercorns. Smoked paprika has become popular within the past year or so but it can be difficult to find.

Spice Corner stocks it.

Our dinner will begin with an antipasto prepared with the goodies I purchased at Di Bruno. It will be dressed with olive oil and red wine vinegar from Claudio. Pasta with sausages from D’Angelo will take pride of place on the table. I would serve a fine chianti or a blend of Chianti with Sangiovese from Tuscany with the pasta.

A classic and sweet way to end dinner is a no-brainer. Chocolate, vanilla and ricotta cheese cannoli from Isgro’s Pasteries, which opened in 1904.

■ Pasta with Sausages ■ Ingredients:

1-1/2 pounds sausages of your choice, remove the meat from its casing Enough olive oil to coat the bottom of a 4-quart pot 1 medium onion, chopped 2 shallots, sliced 4 fat garlic cloves, sliced

1 28-ounce can of imported crushed San Marzano tomatoes 1 cup of dry red wine 2 bay leaves Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste 1 pound pasta of your choice, cooked according to package directions

Directions: Heat the olive oil over medium-high.

Add the onion and shallots and sauté them for about eight minutes. Add the garlic and sauté for about another minute or so.

Push the vegetables to the side of the pot. Add the sausages and sauté briskly.

When the sausages have lost their raw color, sauté the contents of the pot to blend well.

Add all of the remaining ingredients, raise the heat to high and bring to a boil.

Lower the heat to simmer and cover the pot with the lid askew.

Simmer for about 90 minutes.

Serves four.

Note from Phyllis: I prefer fettuccine, pappardelle or tagliatelle with this dish. SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/food-anddrink/features.

TESTIMONIALS:

Fair Price and Quality-As my subject line states this is a hard things to come by now a days and this company delivers just that. In addition to a timely fashion I couldn’t ask for more than that and even the little comments I gave to Mark about the work, he simply corrected to make better within 24hours.

I had my patio done behind my South Philly home & everyone involved was extremely courteous and the work left behind was phenomenal just in time for Summer BBQ’s! I recommend these guys to anyone as that’s how I discovered them myself!

Justin Weleski Mark and his crew replaced my front patio, landing, and a block of my walkway that was slowly sinking. Everyone affiliated with this company is extremely professional. The office staff is very friendly, respectful, and helpful. I emailed this company and within a very short time received a reply and a phone call. I made an appointment for an estimate, Mark showed up on time, he gave me a price. I didn’t have to wait long for the work to be completed, and the work looks great. I love my new patio. Mark Leuzzi also replaced my driveway a couple years ago, and that experience led me to use the same company again. I’ve had some bad experiences with unprofessional contractors lately, but not Mark Leuzzi.-------Andrea Ingargiola

TESTIMONIALS:

Other contractors were giving me nothing but a run around..! So I called Mark Leuzzi and Sons and he came out the next day and seen the condition my old Basement floor was and did a beautiful job putting down the new one just 2 days later at a Great Price! I will always call Mark from now on and I will defiantly recommend him to all of my family and friends! Great job Mark! Thanks a lot buddy!

John Burns The Best, Simply stated, Mark Leuizzi Cement Contractors are the absolute best. I believe you pay for what you get and hiring Mark Leuzzi and Sons you are going to get a job well done with no worries. I would only use Mark Leuzzi and Sons for future masonry work and would highly recommend anyone else to hire them.

Valere A. Pedicone Mark just finished cement work on my front steps and patio. He and his crew are very professional, quick, and trustworthy- the best cement contractor in South Philly!

Great Work! Better Service. Mark and his crew transformed the front of my house with their superb craftsmanship.

People constantly compliment how great it looks. in addition, they were efficient, honest, and did exactly what they promised, which was refreshing given my experiences with other contractors-

“Lovely work done professionally and quickly. Adds some real “curb appeal” to our home. Lots of compliments from our neighbors on how nice it looks--especially the crisp and decorative lines. Graded nicely so water drains to the street, remedied our tree root problems, and widened the tree pit with a nice curved edge. Our new sidewalk is a pleasure to walk on and look at”

Prayer To ST. JoSePh For emPloymenT

Call Lenny

Dear St. Joseph, you were once faced with the responsibility of providing the necessities of life for Jesus and Mary.

Look down with fatherly compassion upon us in our anxiety over our present inability to support our family. Please help me to find gainful employment very soon, so that this heavy burden of concern will be lifted from our hearts and that we are soon able to provide for those whom God has entrusted to or care. Help us guard against bitterness and discouragement, so that we may emerge from this trial spiritually enriched and even greater blessings from God. Amen.
