he fourth annual manifestation of the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society’s pop-up efforts kicks off this week with a tropical-themed beer garden and park at 1438-46 South St. The Kenny Gamble-owned property sits adjacent to Lisa Wilson’s Jamaican Jerk Hut, 1436 South St., and when Wilson got a call from Gamble that she’d be hosting a summer of tropicalia, she flipped. “We’re gonna be boomin’ – we can’t wait. It’s

a blessing,” Wilson, whose business is typically open from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. though she’ll be staying open another hour to feed beer and cocktail-guzzling masses well into the fall, said. She even had a window built into her kitchen for easier and quicker access to a boon of clientele about to descend upon her nearly 23-year-old business. “’Hey, Lisa, I got some good news for you,’” Wilson said of the music legend’s call. “I screamed and said thank you.” She’s already hired a good crew from the neighborhood to help her meet the sudden swell

in demand. “Bring it on! We’re ready!” she exclaimed, when asked if she and her team would be able to handle the spike in business. “We’re so excited. This is truly a blessing, and we’re just thankful that the pop-up garden pops up right next to us and for Kenny Gamble to make it happen. We’re really thankful and grateful.” The first two PHS pop-up gardens, at 20th and Market streets in 2011 and at 1919 Walnut St. in ’12, were successful but were dwarfed by the sucSee POP-UP GARDEN page 10 >>

Philadelphia- According to industry experts, there are over 33 physical problems that will come under scrutiny during a home inspection when your home is for sale. A new report has been prepared which identifies the eleven most common problems, and what you should know about them before you list your home for sale. Whether you own an old home or a brand new one, there are a number of things that can fall short of requirements during home inspection. If not identified and dealt with, any of these 11 items could cost you dearly in terms of repair. That’s why it’s critical that you read this report before you list your home. If you wait until the building inspector flags these issues for you, you will almost certainly experience costly delays in the close of your home sale or, worse, turn prospective buyers away altogether.

t 3:36 a.m. July 2, authorities learned of robbery-by-gun matters on the 2200 block of Tasker Street and the 2500 block of Wharton Street. In the former, the complainant told them two cyclists approached him, with one pressing a gun to the back of his head and threatening “Don’t move, or I’ll blow your brains out,” Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The reported aggressor’s supposed accomplice then removed his wallet and black Verizon Droid cell phone from his pockets, with the two allegedly using their rides to flee westbound on Tasker Street. In the other incident, the victims were walking on 26th Street when cyclists accosted them. They contend one pointed a silver gun at them and the second pillaged their pockets, with the first complainant parting with a black Boost cell phone and the other losing the same item, $4 and a lighter. The defendants fled southbound on 25th Street, Tolliver said, with law enforcement figures using flash information and positive identification by the victims to detain 26-year-old Sean Cannady, of the 1500 block of South Newkirk Street, and 19-year-old Jalil Welton, also known as Brandon Cannady, of North Philly, on the 1300 block of South 23rd Street.

Police arrested a North Philly man for allegedly attempting to jack one woman’s vehicle and robbing another female outside a gentlemen’s entertainment location. Responding to a radio call at 5:08 a.m. Sunday, authorities reported to Club Onyx, 2908 S. Columbus Blvd., and met with site security. The workers had detained a man for his reported execution of a robbery inside the establishment and an attempting carjacking in its parking lot, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The first complainant told law enforcement officials she was inside a rented 2014 Ford Fusion when an armed male demanded her keys and access to the vehicle. The second victim, a dancer at the club, stated that after she had placed bills in her bag, someone snatched it and ran out via a rear exit. She yelled for security personnel, who gave chase. The supposed perpetrator, Amine Scott, 34, tried to flee the area in the rented ride, but the pursuers caught up with him and

retrieved the dancer’s purse with its contents secure. The victims identified Scott as the robber and carjacker, with police charging him with assault, possession of an instrument of crime, theft, firearms violations, robbery and attempted carjacking. He had not posted his $400,000 bail as of press time and awaits a June 24 preliminary hearing.

Vacationer violated Police are looking for tips that can help to solve a Marconi East residential burglary. Authorities met with the complainant on the 2700 block of South Seventh Street at 4:30 p.m. on Friday, learning she had secured her property at 2 p.m. on June 27 to go on vacation, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. She returned an hour before making the call to law enforcement agents after noticing open living room and bedroom windows. When inside the residence, she determined someone had pilfered several power tools, a large sum of jewelry that included rings and necklaces, a black safe containing personal paperwork and $1,000. Authorities have no leads in the matter. To report information, call South Detectives at 215-685-1635, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.

Blunt force Police are looking for three males who assaulted a man and a woman in Dickinson Square West on Friday. At 5:42 a.m., authorities ventured to the 600 block of Reed Street for a report of men armed with sticks assaulting a male on the highway, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The complainants told the police they had been walking on the 1300 block of South Sixth Street when several unknown Hispanic figures exited a tan minivan and surrounded them. Using bats and pipes, they hit their targets about the face and body before using the vehicle to flee in an unknown direction. The victims received transport to the Thomas Jefferson University Hospital Trauma Unit, with the first suffering a fractured finger on his left arm, several bruises and abrasions and two lacerations that required 14 staples. The second individual sustained superficial scratches on her hand and refused medical treatment. They described the first attacker as approximately 25 years old and 5-foot-2;

ment as it was closing and became irate when she refused to let him order. The minor said the denied figure took a broomstick from her father’s hand and used it to hit the patriarch in the head multiple times before leaving. As surveillance video captured the incident, police were able to receive the offender’s description via flash information and stopped the supposed perpetrator on the 1600 block of South 27th Street. The girl received transport to the location and identified Alonzo Carter, 21, as the stick wielder. A Medic Unit took the father to Methodist Hospital, where he received treatment for a large contusion over his right eye, Tolliver said. Authorities charged Carter with assault, possession of an instrument of crime, criminal conspiracy and recklessly endangering another person. He posted his $12,000 bail Saturday and awaits a July 22 preliminary hearing.

Police are hoping the included image can help them to nab a South of South burglar. At 2:20 p.m. June 21, surveillance video captured a man exiting a possibly blue four-door Chevy Impala sedan before going on to case a residence on the 2500 block of Montrose Street. Determining the site’s immediate vacancy, he gained entry by forcing open the front door. He fled from the abode shortly after with several items, including laptop computers and a Sony PlayStation game console.

Police arrested a Lower Moyamensing man for allegedly burglarizing a Passyunk Square eatery. At 12:11 a.m. Friday, authorities ventured to Paesano’s Philly Style, 1017 S. Ninth St., and met with a witness who testified he had seen a black male decked in a blue T-shirt, black pants and a white shirt entering the property through a window, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. They noticed the establishment was closed but that a front window indeed was open and had a broken screen. They entered via the window and, hearing noises, walked over to a closet where the alleged burglar, Nicholas Patrone, 27, was hiding. The witness added that a second male helped the defendant to enter the location but left on foot before police arrived, with authorities saying he remains at large. The proprietor stated the defendant did not have permission to be inside and added nothing appeared to be missing, Tolliver said. Authorities charged Patrone, of the 2500 block of South 10th Street, with criminal conspiracy, trespassing and mischief and burglary. Court records listed his bail as nonmonetary, and he awaits a July 22 preliminary hearing. The witness described the at-large man as black, 5-foot-8 and 190 pounds; and wearing a white shirt, black jeans and a black baseball hat.

Nursing its finances The Archdiocese of Philadelphia sold its Whitman-based assisted living facility as part of a multi-million-dollar transaction.

n By Bill Chenevert

NEWS BRIEFS

R e v i e w S ta f f W r i t e r

n June 30, the Archdiocese of Philadelphia announced an agreement of sale with Center Management Group, a company that owns 15 nursing and assisted living facilities in New York and New Jersey. The archdiocese will sell six nursing homes and one assisted living facility currently operated by Catholic Health Care Services to CMG for nearly $145 million. This pending sale with the Empire State-based company, along with an agreement to outsource the management of 11 active archdiocesan cemeteries and two sites designated for future cemetery development, will net the archdiocese just under $200 million. StoneMor Partners L.P. will provide an initial payment of $53 million with an additional $36 million pending in the years to come. Locally, the deal only affects St. Monica Manor, 2509 S. Fourth St. In 2011, the building increased its existing space to increase long-term care and short-term rehabilitation options for community members. The annex features an expanded physical therapy room; a beauty salon; a resident lounge; and office and storage space. Under the agreement, the new owners will operate each facility in accordance with the moral, ethical and social teachings of the church outlined in the “Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Care Services.” St. Monica Manor is one of three Philadelphia County facilities (the other two are Saint John Neumann and Immaculate Mary Home in Northeast Philadelphia) while the others

are in Chester, Delaware and Montgomery counties. These moves come as “part of the ongoing Archdiocesan effort to build the strongest possible Catholic Church in Philadelphia — one that will be sustainable now and into the future,” according to a statement from the archdiocese. The announcement comes on the heels of the decision to merge struggling parishes to conserve pastor resources and strengthen healthy worship sites. The nursing home sale includes many provisions that guarantee the faith-based and Catholic affiliations of the seven facilities throughout the five-county Philadelphia area. “This agreement will serve the archdiocese and its people well by ensuring the nursing homes presently operated by Catholic Health Care Services

will continue to be dignified centers of care for the elderly in the Catholic tradition and in accord with the moral and ethical teachings of the Church,” Archbishop Charles J. Chaput said in a statement. “Center Management Group was selected from a group of nearly 30 initial bidders in a competitive process that focused largely on the personal commitment of potential buyers to provide the highest possible quality of health care in a manner consistent with Catholic identity and moral teaching.” The sale guarantees resident retention and converts staff into CMG employees. Mass and sacraments will continue to be provided by chaplains at each of the facilities. Last July, the archdiocese published audited financial statements for the fiscal year

that ended on June 30, ’12, which disclosed a $39.2-million operating deficit. That summer, immediate steps were taken, including the sale of the archbishop’s residence and a property in Ventnor, N.J., and a 25-percent reduction of the workforce at the Archdiocesan Pastoral Center. The archdiocese did not offer any further comments at press time, and a phone call to St. Monica Manor yielded a response that essentially said nothing will change. However, according to published reports, some family members of residents report a decline in the level of care and services since the homes went up for sale last August.

ill Clark, the executive director of Philabundance, 3616 S. Galloway St., will be resigning after running the hunger-fighting organization for 13 years. The South Phillybased food bank donates nearly 30 million pounds of food per year, placing meals on the tables of households in the most impoverished regions of New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Described as an innovator in the fight against hunger, Clark has proven to be a true humanitarian through his various actions to terminate food shortages burdened on thousands of poor families. Besides his focal work leading Philabundance, he assisted the creation of the United States’ first nonprofit supermarket, Fare & Square, in Chester. He has also recently merged Philabundance with the insolvent Greater Philadelphia Food Bank, rescuing the struggling organization. Taking over for Clark will be Mark Bender, who is a member of the Philabundance board.

It pulled in nearly 30,000 visitors and boasted as many as 500 to 700 visitors on big nights. “It’s at least as large if not a little bit bigger.

Tuesday night’s grand opening party. “It’s more than a dream come true,” he said. “We don’t have Rittenhouse Square, but look what we do have.” Though this isn’t a site specific to PHS’s Philadelphia Land Care program, which cleans and greens spaces in an effort to reduce crime activity and up property value, the effect is still the same. Jaffe reports around 8,000 lots have been transformed since the 1970s. “You take a vacant lot and you turn it into something beautiful and it has an immediate impact on the community,” he said. “I know I’m not the only person that walks by and says ‘I wish something would happen here – this needs to be cleaned up’” Becher mused. When he first walked by the 2011 popup, he had a similar thought. “This is such an ugly piece of property in such a beautiful place, and we’ve got to be able to make this better,” he remembered saying to himself. Though the horticultural society may best be known as the creators of the timehonored Flower Show (occurring annually since 1829; the Society was founded two year earlier), it may soon be known as the founder of Philly pop-ups. Vidas has been gauging any neighborhood skepticism and says there really isn’t any. “I think given PHS’s reputation and the fact that this is their fourth one, and a lot of folks were very familiar with the one on Broad Street, that probably did a lot to tamp out any concerns,” she said. “The only concern was that it wasn’t opening fast enough.” SPR Contact Staff Writer Bill Chenevert at bchenevert@southphillyreview.com or ext. 117.

An East Passyunk Crossing resident is portraying one of Shakespeare’s most compelling characters. n By Joseph Myers Review Managing Editor

S ta g e P h o t o S

K at e r a i n e S

hough she will never jeer her genetic makeup, Angela Smith revels in theatrical explorations of androgyny, deeming them helpers in honing her craft. Beginning tonight, the actress will couple femininity and masculinity as Viola, the protagonist in William Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night.” “All performers should have a chance to do so,” the resident of Broad and Morris streets said of sampling the opposite sex’s strengths and struggles. “For me, this is offering a chance to call on tools I hadn’t been using, so that’s enriching and enlightening.” Having portrayed King Henry IV for The Philadelphia Shakespeare Theatre five years ago, the East Passyunk Crossing-situated 20-something is ending her genderbending hiatus as one of the Bard’s wittiest women. After surviving a shipwreck that separates her from her twin, Sebastian, her character becomes involved in a love triangle that ultimately revolves around her decision to don male attire. When her relative surfaces, matters become even more comedic and compelling, though Smith is deriving delight regardless of the context. “I’m thrilled to find ways to give even more life to her words,” the thespian said of the creation, whose lines had been familiar to her for so long that she initially refrained from relying on the text once rehearsals began. “I’m trying to play to what she lacks just as much as to what she has because weaknesses can be funny. The physicality of playing a woman in disguise is very interesting, too.” In fulfilling her first assignment for the Media-based Commonwealth Classic Theatre Co., Smith is acting upon an urge that a 2009 Philly Shakespeare academic reading of the eros-versusphilios elements in “Twelfth Night” instigated. Gaining “an invalu-

able experience” through playing a masculine royal for the Center City-situated entity, the eager hire, who also auditioned for the part of Olivia, another member of the amorous trio, loves tasking her talent to prove that gender limits only those who let it. “This is a milestone role,” Smith said of helming heroine duties. “It’s great to play Viola not only for who she is but also for who she tries to be in becoming Cesario. It’s kind of like living in two worlds.” The play, whose first recorded performance came in early 17th-century London, is receiving Pennsylvania- and New Jersey-based adoration through July 26, with today’s 7 p.m. opening occurring at the Free Library of Philadelphia Parkway Central Branch’s Shakespeare Park. As her premiere outdoor theater experience, the work will find Smith fraternizing with four fellow South Philadelphians, including Jamison Foreman as Orsino, the early wooer of Olivia’s affection and eventual winner of Viola’s. Having such a bond with her peers as representatives of the city’s thriving performance identity, she sees the 13-date endeavor as another occasion to energize her craft, which, no matter the job, relies upon restraints. “Viola’s a great study and it would be

easy to try to be bombastic in playing her, but that’s not what suits me,” Smith said. “It’s fun to be bold, but not everyone wears their hearts on their sleeves all the time.” Through her “TwelfTh Night” involvement, the acute actress is proving art can counter life as much as it imitates it with respect to being outgoing. Incredibly shy as a child, Smith is executing individuals who eschew cloaking emotions, thus offering a fine contrast between the anxiety of youth and the confidence of maturity. “Acting became huge in helping me to overcome my initial shyness,” the Point Pleasant, N.J. native said of her girlhood. “I found myself really hooked and wanted to explore how my world could fit in with fictitious ones.” Smith deemed high school pivotal, as it fostered a penchant for classical voice, which she preliminarily pursued as a Rowan University registrant before becoming a theater major, and made the Bard a behemoth in her comprehension of characterization. “There’s so much work that has to be done to be true to Shakespeare,” Smith, who fell for his canon during her college days, which included a turn in “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” said of the

scribe. “It’s always a labor of love because of the sheer beauty of the text.” Blessed with dramatic and comedic gifts, undeniable boons for a Shakespeare practitioner or any performer for that matter, she moved to South Philly a year after graduation and has resided in South of South, Newbold, Dickinson Square West and East Passyunk Crossing. Well aware that many thespians esteem Philadelphia as a great place to start their journeys, she lauds it as a superior spot in which to settle. Smith has banked on that philosophy to land jobs with InVersion Theatre; Lantern and Luna theater companies, the latter 620 S. Eighth St.; Plays & Players Theatre; and Revolution Shakespeare through Queen Village’s Griffin Stanton-Ameisen. “Twelfth Night” marks her second time handling both genders for a Shakespeare production, as her “King Henry IV” efforts also included a stint as Lady Percy, with Philly Shakespeare also tapping her to play the willful wife Lady Macbeth in its “Macbeth” tour. “It’s great to figure out how I fit in with the Philadelphia theater scene,” Smith said of her local alignment, of which she can boast a connection with Transmissions Theatre, which resulted in last year’s tour of “Rails.” “Philadelphia can be a rough

and tumble location but also a rewarding one.” Roles as Sister James in “Doubt” for the Connecticut-based TriArts Sharon Playhouse and Katherina in “The Taming of the Screw” for Italy’s Teatro delle Due accentuate her depth, with Smith especially eager to keep courting the sureties of Shakespeare’s output. “There are so many women I want to play from his works, but I can’t hide that I want to play Hamlet, too,” Smith said. “Time will tell.” When summer wanes, she will continue to cover Shakespeare for the FringeArts Festival-slated “Till Birnam Wood” and will reunite with Lantern come autumn as Chloe in “Arcadia.” Winter will yield another job with Transmissions, thus helping to classify Smith as a woman, or man, for all seasons. “I’m at a stage where I’m very grateful for the past and present and mindful of the future,” Smith said. “I hope to explore so much more.” SPR For tickets, visit commonwealthclassictheatre.org.

LIFESTYLES

Cardella

By Tom Cardella Columnist

Age of innocence

ou know those words that open “Star Wars” — In a galaxy far, far away? As I look back through the years, that’s the way our neighborhood might look to you today, like a planet far, far away. Lives were much simpler back then. We might as well have been aliens to you young folks living today. My Aunt Mary was and is a beautiful woman. I’m not just a nephew bragging on his aunt. And I’m not talking about any of that inner beauty stuff that people talk about when they’re describing someone who is bone ugly (“She does have a nice personality”). Mary was what they called a “looker” in her day, like the actress Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio in her prime (except maybe Mary Elizabeth would come in second in a beauty competition with Aunt Mary). Mary grew up in a home with five brothers. The goings on in that house would’ve made a good movie, the kind of black-andwhite movie they made back in the late 1930s that you can find on Turner Classics Movies all the time starring James Cagney. The boys could be a real pain-in-the-neck trying to overprotect their beautiful sister. Back in her teens, Mary had a secret crush on the movie actor Robert Taylor. You might be too young to remember Taylor, but he was a real heartthrob back then. Mary was a big fan of the movies. Her father was a barber, and he used to get free movie passes for the old Colonial Theater at 10th and Moyamensing Avenue. The Colonial was the purveyor of dreams, the place where kids gathered at Saturday matinees to root for the good guys and boo the baddies. The old movie theater is gone now like just about all of the neighborhood movie theaters, replaced by homes or discount drugstores. The Colonial was where Mary first “met” Taylor, at least met him on the movie screen. She kept her crush from her brothers, who likely would only have teased her about it. One day she decided to write a letter to the actor, as young girls whose hearts are aflutter were wont to do. Even today, she can’t remember what she wrote to Taylor, just that it was not something she wanted to share with the rest of her family. Mary never mailed the letter. Maybe she had second thoughts about the propriety of writing to a big movie star (I’m not saying the contents were steamy because young girls like Aunt Mary did not do steamy

n s o u t h p h i l l y r e v i e w.

back then). Maybe she just couldn’t find an address where to mail it. Whatever the case, her brother Pete, who was to become my father and the subject of some of these columns, found the letter. Pete sensed danger in his sister’s letter. Why, she just might be thinking of running off to Hollywood to meet this Taylor guy! Pete ran and told their mother, Florence. She was a heavyset woman with a gold tooth that twinkled when she smiled (which she did often). Unlike in many Italian families of that day, Florence was the dominant figure in every way. Her husband Tony was a quiet man who deferred to her all the time, except at dinner where he preferred his fava beans cooked on the firm side. Florence was not a tough disciplinarian. She knew the boys sometimes took their role as protector a little too seriously. She settled for taking away Mary’s movie passes for that weekend. For some reason, the movies had a way of causing unexpected problems for Mary. One afternoon at the Colonial, she watched with rapt attention when George Raft kissed Joan Bennett. Mary found that kiss the very definition of passion. She stayed to watch the movie over again to see that kiss (there were continuous showings back then). Mary lost track of time until she saw her brother Anthony walking down the aisle. Anthony was surprised to see his sister still in the movie theater. It was already dark outside, and Mary knew she was not allowed out after dark alone. He warned his sister to get right home. But when Mary told her mother about that dreamy movie kiss, Florence didn’t have the heart to discipline her daughter. Likely she wished she had seen that kiss herself because she secretly thought that George Raft was wonderfully handsome. Mary had a habit of staying in the bathroom too long to suit her brothers. There was only one in the house for eight people. Her brothers complained to their mother all the time about it. This one time, Pete really had a bathroom emergency. Unfortunately for him, Mary had a new ribbon that she had just placed in her lovely dark hair that day. She just kept staring in the mirror trying to make sure that her ribbon looked just right. Pete finally peeked through the keyhole and saw his sister dallying. He promptly reported Mary to his mother. Pete learned a lesson that day from his mother: Never peek through a bathroom keyhole at your sister. To his surprise, he was the one who got into trouble. He didn’t quite understand why. Aunt Mary must’ve looked really pretty with that ribbon in her hair. I think she still has a crush on Taylor. SPR Comment at southphillyreview.com/opinion/ cardella.

Lucy (Scarlett Johansson) acquires superhuman abilities with a mysterious drug in the Luc Besson-directed film.

Five must-see films n By R. Kurt Osenlund Movie Reviewer

“G

odzilla” and “X-Men” have come and gone, but the summer movie season is far from over.

Boyhood (July 11, limited) An adventure 12 years in the making, “Boyhood” is director Richard Linklater’s magnum opus, a humanistic epic that merges his loves of time and youth’s everyday drama. Young Mason is played by Ellar Coltrane, who grew up right along with his character through more than a decade of filmmaking, which was eventually condensed to 164 minutes. Co-starring Patricia Arquette and Ethan Hawke as Mason’s mom and dad, the poignant result is something truly unprecedented. Lucy (July 25) Boosting her status as a female lead to be reckoned with, Scarlett Johansson follows her eerie turn in “Under the Skin” with a role as a drug mule turned superwoman in “Lucy,” the latest femme-fatale actioner from genre master Luc Besson. The conceit of ingesting a drug that boosts one’s brain from 10 percent usage to 100 percent usage has been done before (see 2011’s “Limitless”), but likely not with Besson and Johansson’s badass panache. Frank (Aug. 15, limited) The Sundance sensation “Frank,” and the buzz surrounding the lead performance by Michael Fassbender, probably has some folks confused, considering the actor spends the film’s entirety wearing a papier-mâché mask. But the oddity is all the more reason to catch this rock-music flick, which costars Maggie Gyllenhaal

and Domhnall Gleeson as musicians. The Giver (Aug. 15) Lois Lowry’s classic novel finally gets the big screen treatment, with no shortage of star power in tow. Alongside rising heartthrob Brenton Thwaites are bigwigs Jeff Bridges and Meryl Streep, who play the at-odds elders in Lowry’s dystopian meditation on memory. Also on board is Taylor Swift (yes, that one).

Marv (Mickey Rourke) again displays his immense strength and ruthlessness.

Sin City: A Dame to Kill For (Aug. 22) Nearly 10 years after the original upended the way green-screen thrillers could be stylized, directors Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller return with the sequel to “Sin City,” with some cast members reprising their roles and new faces joining the violent-noir mix. Back on the rain-soaked streets are Jessica Alba, Mickey Rourke, Rosario Dawson and Bruce Willis, while Eva Green and Joseph Gordon-Levitt get their first taste of a graphic world that’s black, white and red all over.

Suelynne’s Cold Coffee Frappe

“Let them eat cake!”

arie Antoinette uttered these words when hearing her peasants had no bread. In honor of Bastille Day, Eastern State Penitentiary, 2027 Fairmount Ave., is having a Saturday reenactment, starting at 5:30 p.m., that will include the flinging of Tastykakes from the site’s towers. Fairmount restaurants will offer French-themed entertainment and food and drink specials afterward. Call 215-236-3300, or visit easternstate.org. SPR

n July, coffee may not be the first drink of choice for those struggling in the hot-and-humid conditions. An ice cold bottle of water, milk shake or frozen hot chocolate would likely get the popular vote. However, it doesn’t mean a Cold Coffee Frappe isn’t as refreshing. Suelynne Remetio, a resident of the 600 block of South Pierce Street, first tried this caffeinated cooler in Greece on a hot summer morning. She knows without a shadow of a doubt that this beverage is exactly the refresher one needs to win the battle against the sweltering South Philly sun. SPR

IngredIents: 2 teaspoons of instant coffee Sugar, to taste Milk or cream, to taste A couple of ice cubes Cold water

dIrectIons: Put a couple of tablespoons of cold water, instant coffee and sugar (if desired) into a blender. Mix the ingredients until a froth begins to form. Pour in a glass over the ice cubes, adding milk (if desired) and cold water. Add a straw, and enjoy.

told me it is on the sweet side, and it was. I noshed it straight from the dish. The only disappointing sandwich was the spicy lamb sausage ($9 Happy Hour). I thought it was a little overcooked and needed more fat. Still, the choice of topping the sausage with an aioli prepared with harissa — a spicy condiment from Tunisia — was another inspiration. A pint of Yuengling Chesterfield ($2 Happy Hour) was the perfect choice for our meal. Taproom on 19th is a fine concept and a plus to the Girard Estate neighborhood.

he tradition of the American taproom harks back to colonial times when men sought a pint of beer after a long day of work. Although our Founding Fathers found refuge in the City Tavern or at Ben Franklin’s dining table where spirits flowed freely, the ordinary lads drank in simple surroundings. This feeling of camaraderie is evident in Taproom on 19th, a corner bar/restaurant where owners Michael Strauss and Pete Fry have established exactly what a taproom should be. They hired chef Elijah Milligan, who has put together a small but well-rounded menu of dishes using seasonal ingredients sourced from local farms. The long wooden bar houses almost every type of spirit imaginable. There are a number of beers on tap that change with the season. Two knowledgeable bartenders answered my questions about bourbon, an all-American spirit that I have recently discovered. A perfect Manhattan prepared with Bulleit ($10) imparted a slightly smoky flavor and was less sweet than Maker’s Mark. I learned a perfect Manhattan is mixed with sweet and dry vermouth with a dash of bitters. A Plymouth gin martini ($11) was also perfectly mixed. Happy Hour takes place from 5 to 7 p.m. when bar snacks are half price and burgers are $2 off. The televisions were set to the World Cup matches, and I noticed a Manchester United scarf hanging from the bar. Korean fried chicken wings ($5.50 Hap-

py Hour) were juicy inside and coated in a tasty mix of honey, hot sauce, sesame seeds and thinly-sliced scallions. They were about the best one could find anywhere. As we munched, the bartender gave us some Wetnaps. Beet chips ($2 Happy Hour) consisted of a pile of crisp, thinly-sliced beets with a blood orange yogurt sauce for dipping. I liked the contrast of flavors in the sauce because the yogurt added a tang to the mild citrus taste. Next up were Bavarian pretzel bites ($3). These treats began to pop up on bar menus all over the city a few years ago. Pretzels have deep roots in Pennsylvania. Milligan took German inspiration in his sauce, which he made with caraway seeds, beer and bacon. It was just heavenly. And what’s a taproom or pub without shepherd’s pie? I had my first taste of this very British dish years ago in a London pub. It is a classic that never goes out of culinary style. Milligan took a bit of license and formed the ingredients into croquettes ($3). They were creamy inside, laced with bits of bacon and set upon a pool of English pea puree. I could have easily enjoyed another order, but I wanted to save room for a burger. The Taproom burger ($11 Happy Hour) consisted of a plump grilled patty of La Frieda beef, seared on the outside, medium rare and juicy on the inside. La Frieda provides beef for a number of pubs and restaurants throughout the city, and I know why. Mine was topped with smoked cheddar cheese with a bit of homemade red onion jam on the side.

Criniti Ristorante Italiano’s Veal San Filippo

Chef Massimo Criniti

Criniti Ristorante Italiano’s Owner: Massimo Criniti Opened: March 29, 1985 2611 S. Broad St. 215-465-7750 crinitirestaurant.com.

any people hold professional positions that impinge upon their enjoyment of their non-business hours existence. Massimo Criniti, however, lets his job inform his courtship of contentment. “I grew up in this business,” the owner of Criniti Ristorante Italiano, 2611 S. Broad St., said. “Therefore, it’s not really work; it’s my life.” The 43-year-old has been involved with the Lower Moyamensing site in some capacity over its entire 29-year history. He has owned the location, which parents Benito and Dina opened to fulfill a craving for a small yet invigorating space, since 1999 and has loved pleasing patrons through his menu’s emphasis on Southern Italian fare. “I love being a guy who can feed his neighbors,” the Packer

Park inhabitant said. “My family has prided ourselves on being community figures.” Along with a respected tenure sating South Philadelphians, his résumé includes stints in Miami and Italy, with the latter location influencing operations at his establishment, which once helped to save souls in its first incarnation as a Presbyterian church. Nearly eight years ago, Criniti drew inspiration from the European land to craft his Veal San Filippo. The dish, which derives its name from Sicily’s San Filippo del Mela municipality, has proven popular enough to become one of his best sellers, not bad considering it is something he threw together one day out of boredom. “That’s not to take away from what it means to me,” the proprietor said. “I remember coming back from Italy and being hungry

for something different. This dish was the solution.” While many locations pride themselves on producing mammoth concoctions, such offerings usually cause stomachs to wave flags of surrender too soon. Criniti contends his plate is “a relatively light dish” that will not slow plans for a taste bud-gratifying extravaganza. “It’s especially great for the summer,” he said. “You can eat it and not feel anything but happy about your selection.”

I’m Free

Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free. I’m following the path God laid for me. I took God’s hand, when I heard him call; I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day. To laugh, to love, to work or play. Tasks left undone must stay that way. I found that place at the close of day. If my parting has left a void, then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss. Ah yes, these things, I too will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow, I wish you sunshine of tomorrow. My life’s been full, I savored much, Good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch. Perhaps my time seemed all to brief; don’t lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your heart and share with me- God wanted me now, God set me free.

Thanks to the many people who attended Carol’s memorial services at St Luke’s and the Epiphany Church and Arch St. Meeting House. Carol enjoyed the happiest years of her life encouraging others while she herself was battling cancer. She died peacefully at the Watermark after residing at Hopkinson House, Independence Square, her beloved home of many years.

Jason ricHetti 7.6.80 • 9.1.13

You gave no one a last farewell, nor ever said goodbye. You were gone before we knew it and only God knows why. A million times we miss you & cry. If love alone could of saved you, you never would of died. It broke our hearts to lose you, but you didn’t go alone,a part of us went with you the day god took you home. We will meet again someday, I know in a better place. I thank God he made you our brother while you were here on earth. Love Louie, Renee, Kelly, your twin sister Jamie. Mommy & Daddy.

Sadly missed by brother Frank, Jr., Daughters Lisa & Renee and grandchildren. God Bless You in Heaven The Family Of The Late

Riverso of fortune

A Lower Moyamensing resident is plotting his next exploits after a successful college baseball career. n By Joseph Myers Review Managing Editor

Michael Riverso produced a prolific career for Widener University after putting up excellent statistics for the Neumann-Goretti Saints. Photo Provided by Michael Riverso

Conference nod, he had not foreseen such a potent final year, which included his setting a school record in hits and tallying the nation’s 31st best average. The figures also figure to help Riverso to believe he can bash balls for a professional team. “It will probably take a backseat for now,” he said of his beloved game as he considers his career options, with Merrill Lynch and PricewaterhouseCoopers emerging as suitors. “There could come a chance to sign a free-agent contract. No matter what comes along, I’ll see it as a cool opportunity.”

RiveRso has expeRienced few departures from the diamond since he garnered his first tremendous opportunity as a Philadelphia Senator. Then a fifth-grader at Epiphany of Our Lord School, now Our Lady of Hope Regional Catholic School, 1248 Jackson St., he matured with other great talents at Sunoco Field, now PES Field, 3501 Moore St., before joining the Senators B team at Sabres Field, Seventh Street and Packer Avenue. Also honing interest in soccer through the Southeast Youth Athletic Association, Seventh and Bigler streets, he entered Neumann-Goretti look-

at southphillyreview.com/blogs.php ing for victories no matter the setting yet eventually parted with the world’s most popular game and basketball to concentrate on baseball, a decision that his accolades have validated as a venerable move. “Oh, those were short careers,” he laughed of the other sports. “Baseball had to be the winner because I had the most investment in it.” The young man’s freshman year featured frequent frustration, as the East Passyunk Crossing-based Saints managed only a 3-18 mark. Raw talent soon became refined skill, and by his junior year, Riverso and teammates Al Baur and Mark Donato, both Whitman products, became dominant forces in the Catholic League. Securing their school’s first league championship since 1960 in 2009, the athletes restored the program to supremacy, instigating a run that has brought three more titles to their alma mater. “In a perfect world, we would have won it our senior year, too, but some things aren’t meant to be,” Riverso, a three-time All-Catholic, said. “Despite that, high school really prepared me for college because it gave me such a great work ethic and awareness of my abilities.” Initially considering La Salle University, he opted for Widener as “a last-minute thing” and became a restless pursuer of team glory no matter where he batted or what position he played, including trips to the mound to deliver his southpaw mix of confounding pitches. Separating his clavicle as a sophomore, he experienced some limitations but compensated for them by navigating a switch from the outfield to first base. “I just expected so much of myself,” Riverso said of his college kudos, noting that, along with his Philadelphia Senators and Neumann-Goretti stints, he credits 10 years as a camp attendee under John Marzano, a deceased South Philly native who caught for three major league clubs, as instrumental. “That was a great chapter in my life, so I’m excited about the future. It’s going to be a little odd not to be fully committed to baseball, but, yeah, the real world awaits. I’m a quick learner, though.” SPR Contact Managing Editor Joseph Myers at jmyers@southphillyreview.com or ext. 124. Comment at southphillyreview.com/sports/features.

s a newly minted graduate of Ss. Neumann-Goretti High School, 1736 S. 10th St., Mike Riverso enrolled at Widener University four years ago eager to accumulate more athletic and academic accomplishments. Helping the institution’s baseball team to set school records and generating a 3.4 grade point average as a finance major, the 22-year-old can certainly consider his secondary education success matched and possibly even topped. “I always push myself to do better, so I’m definitely happy how my time there worked out,” the resident of the 2200 block of South Juniper Street said of his Chester-based tenure as a diamond dweller and classroom conqueror. “I wouldn’t change a thing about my experiences.” If opposing pitchers could have made alterations to his ledger, they would have retired the Lower Moyamensing inhabitant far more often, as he enjoyed a quartet of commendable campaigns, including a monstrous senior season that featured his winning the Middle Atlantic Conference Commonwealth Player of the Year honor and tournament MVP nod, the latter stemming in part from his infield single that captured the championship for the Pride. His swan song year yielded a .434 average, a conference-leading 43 RBI, 38 runs, 14 doubles, a .550 slugging percentage and a .988 fielding percentage at first base. While Riverso readily reflects on those drool-worthy numbers with joy, he sees them simply as products of persistence rather than fuel for arrogance. “Just like in high school, I had great supporters,” he said. “I was fortunate to go to a school with a history of playing young players, so I worked hard but didn’t put myself under too much stress. This year was just amazing and a great way to go out.” Achieving the most wins, 33, and league triumphs, 16, in school history, the Pride also made its seventh NCAA Tournament appearance, falling in the regional semifinals. Donning 13 as his jersey number, the sweet-swinging lefty proved unlucky for hurlers hoping to send his 6-foot-1 frame back to the bench disappointed. Quite confident he would continue to build on last year’s Honorable Mention All-
