ashington Avenue is one complex beast. From Columbus Boulevard to Grays Ferry Avenue, it’s a 2.3-mile corridor with 29 signalized intersections. And it’s evolving quickly, especially west of South 13th Street, projects are in the works for Bart Blatstein and Toll Brothers properties at Broad and Washington; 2401 Washington Ave. is pushing forward to expand a mixed-use vision for the

corridor; a Habitat for Humanity ReStore is officially open at 2318; and Gus’s World Famous Fried Chicken is on its way at 20th Street and Washington Avenue. But what about the actual road? The state it’s in, with faded and often invisible striping, and issues around parking and businesses’ load-in zones, has positioned the avenue in a semi-permanent state of chaos. Enter the Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia (BCGP). There are loose plans for a grand repaving of the avenue in four or five years’ time,

but BCGP isn’t willing to wait five years to have key temporary fixes implemented to make the street safer for everyone, but especially cyclists and pedestrians. “Your help is needed to let Mayor Nutter, City Council and the Streets Department know that there is strong public support for expediting a plan to reconfigure Washington Avenue to make it safer for all users,� reads a call to action from BCGP’s deputy director Sarah Clark Stuart. She and BCGP posted a “TAKE ACTION� post on their site July 17,

and its intention is to get citizens interested, again, in the fate of the Avenue. It must be said that this is a long, drawn-out and complex process with an immense amount of stakeholders. It actually began back in 2011, but when the City Planning Commission received a grant to study the avenue more seriously, urgency took a backseat to efficiency and long-term vision. “The Washington Avenue TransASS E/A67<5B=< /D3 ^OUS ' ,,

Does anyone care to know why Tom Cardella is going to find a very long life and much more that is allocated to most of us? Attitude! The man is blessed and should be an inspiration to everyone one of us. The way he manages to handle physical and demoralizing infirmities is nothing short of amazing. Just read and play close attention to his last column (“The recuperator,� July 16). He elucidates so compellingly on not bowing to physical, moral and mental pressure. It feels like I have accompanied him through his many

bouts of absolute horror. There is just no other description for it. He makes it mostly seem so ho-hum! Tom Cardella, I simply love you and how you can take such appalling situations with such a stalwart stance. Take care of yourself, my friend. I want you around for a very long time because I love how goofy you can be at times. Again, I simply love it.

“Welcome back, Tom! As secretary of your unofficial fan club, all of our enrolled members missed you and wish you a speedy recovery! Please take care of yourself so we can have many more years of your wonderful and inspiring columns. Godspeed!!!�

“Tom -- I wish you all the best and a complete recovery. My dad died of colon cancer at 57. There were no colonoscopies in 1967. I have had two, and both times precancerous adenomas were found. I feel very fortunate. You have brightened my life for years. I love your column. I am a Temple grad and a South Philly girl. I live in Central Pennsylvania now, and your columns take me back to my home. Philly is always in my heart. Your wit, your love of your wife, your family and your heritage and neighborhood touch me deeply because I miss it. Godspeed, Tom Cardella. All the best to you.�

“I wanted to tell you I am a two-time colon cancer survivor. Twenty-three years ago, I had a blockage so they did surgery and found the tumor. At that time, the way to go for me was 52 treatments of chemo. One shot of chemo every week. Then in between pills on the weekend. Four years ago it happened again, this time everything had to come out, [as] it had spread to the rectum. So now I have a bag. I have had Crohn’s disease since I was 12. This is where the cancer came from. I just wanted to tell you all this so you won’t give up. You will be OK. In a few months, you will look back on all this and say “Wow, I did it.� Do you have to get chemo or radiation? I went to Fox Chase for my treatment. God bless you, and I hope this made you feel better.�

“It took a great deal of courage to disclose the uncomfortable, but accurate details of your recent experience at [Thomas] Jefferson University Hospital. A friend of mine had skin cancer surgery on July 14 at the same facility and, like you, had high praise for those who treated him. I am scheduled for a consultation for my recently discovered prostate cancer on July 22, and can meet the subsequent surgery with more confidence, being more at-ease, after reading your column. I can only hope to go forward and be as brave as you, to write such a revealing and somewhat, embarrassing story. Your story moved me, I would like to think the ripple effect of your article has impacted a great many more. Your efforts are to be commended, no doubt emulated.�

t approximately 2:20 a.m. Friday, the complainants reported they were in their home on the 1600 block of South Seventh Street when sounds of breaking glass woke them, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. They went outside and observed an unknown man smashing their windows. The offender allegedly asked “Where is ‘E?’� and proceeded to walk into the building to search for the figure. The victims ran into their apartment and locked the door, but the individual supposedly kicked their door in, pointed a gun at the first complainant and again demanded to know “E’s� whereabouts. He responded that he just moved to the residence and was not aware of anyone named “E.� He told authorities the man left the abode and went to search for “E� in the back of the building. At 2:28 a.m., police responded to a vandalism in progress call, with a female officer being the first on location. She observed broken front windows, shattered glass on the ground and an open front door, Tolliver said. She exited her vehicle and walked up to the door, observing the reported offender bleeding from his right hand and glimpsing the handle of a revolver in his waistband. When she confiscated the weapon, the man allegedly left the building on foot, with the officer giving chase until she lost sight of him on Eighth Street. While authorities were surveying the area for the offender, a witness flagged them down and stated she believed the man they were looking for was in another complainant’s backyard trying to break into her home. They went to that site on the 1600 block of South Eighth Street and observed a man attempting to enter the sliding glass door to the rear of the property. Authorities detained the individual, and the female officer positively identified him as the one from whom she took the gun. The other complainants then identified him as the one who kicked in their door and pointed a gun. Police arrested Herman Grey, of the 2200 block of Watkins Street, and charged him with possession of an instrument of crime, firearms violations, robbery, burglary, criminal mischief,

responded to a report of a fire inside an unoccupied property on the 2000 block of South Juniper Street. The three-alarm incident prompted officers to evacuate the area, with 15 adults and two children receiving shelter through the American Red Cross. Shortly before 6 a.m., firefighters gained control over the blaze, and law enforcement officials soon engaged in conversation with a witness. The individual said he heard glass break and glimpsed a man going inside the property approximately 20 minutes before the matter began, according to police. He also relayed having seen a second man standing on the building’s roof. The man added that the first figure exited to run south along South Juniper Street, then east on Snyder Avenue. A minute later, the witness, who could not determine what became of the other male, noted the explosion occurred. The Fire Marshal deemed the blaze suspicious the same day, with police not being able to provide a detailed description of the first man but noting the second as a 5-foot-4, 150-pound Hispanic with bushy curly hair and a goatee and wearing a black hoodie and jeans. To report information, call the Fire Department at 215-686-1300, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.

/ R]e\ ZWTb Authorities arrested a Point Breeze man for allegedly stealing the phone of a woman who had offered to give him a ride. At 3:45 a.m. Saturday, the complainant was driving to 15th and Reed streets a man whom she had met at an event in Penn’s Landing, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. En route, he called someone, believed to be his child’s mother, and began an argument with her. The witness, who was riding in the front seat, reported she heard a female tell the passenger not to come over or she would call the police. After hearing the spat, the motorist, who had offered her phone for him to make the call, asked for the gadget back, with the male reportedly saying “What do you think, I’m going to take off with it? Just hold on a second.� When she asked for it again, he allegedly barked “Don’t either of you make any sudden movements. I’m tak-

FEB?9; H;FEHJ ing your phone and your wallet, or I will shoot both of you.� The witness reported that she slowly went to hand over her phone to him, with the male supposedly exiting the vehicle to walk to her side of the car. The complainant quickly drove off and called the police from a gas station near Broad and Bainbridge streets. An hour after the incident, police responded to a radio call of a domestic dispute on the 1300 block of South Mole Street, and when they arrived, there was a male inside the home reportedly yelling at a female for calling authorities. While they spoke with the woman, they realized the male fit the description of a robbery suspect and detained him. The victim and her friend received transport to the location and positively identified him as the culprit. Authorities arrested Khalil Clinton, of the same block, and retrieved the phone for the complainant. They charged him with making terroristic threats, theft-receiving stolen property, theft-unlawful taking and robbery. He had not posted his $50,000 bail as of press time and awaits an Aug. 4 preliminary hearing.

As of press time, officials had no motive and had established no leads in the matter. To report information, call the Homicide Division at 215-686-3334, text PPDTIP (773847) or visit phillypolice.com/forms.

6STbg VO`[ Three offenders made off with cash after one struck a man with a gun in Dickinson Square West. While on the 1700 block of South Sixth Street at 10:15 a.m. Saturday, the complainant stopped for a stop sign and had three unknown males approach him, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The lead stranger produced a small black gun and demanded his money, with the second criminal standing in front of the vehicle and the third placing himself at the passenger side door. The victim gave them $600, but the head thief struck him two times with the firearm, leading to a black eye and a bump on his head.

A dissatisfied thief used a knife to score a man’s cash, phone and backpack in East Passyunk Crossing Monday. At approximately 3:24 a.m., the complainant was walking on the 800 block of Fernon Street when an unknown Hispanic man approached him with a knife, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. Demanding “Give me what you got,� the criminal received $5 from his prey, but he did not gain satisfaction from the small amount, so he put the knife to the victim’s neck. The complainant then parted with his iPhone 5 and backpack, with the aggressor fleeing eastbound on Fernon Street. He described the at-large figure as 20 to 25 years old and 5-foot-7 to 5-foot-9; having a thin build; wearing a gray and blue flannel shirt; and armed with a silver knife with an eight-inch blade.

along the corridor, particularly between 5th Street and 15th Street. On average, six crashes occur along the corridor per week; one crash every 10 days requires towing or involves injury and one pedestrian or cyclist is injured every 3 weeks due to a crash.� WHEN ASKED, CLARK Stuart can rattle off a very long list of invested stakeholders: the Planning Commission, Streets Department, MOTU, the Washington Avenue Business Association and property owners associations, the Ninth Street Business Association, and then there’s all the civic groups. South Philly Homes, Hawthorne Empowerment Coalition, South of South Neighborhood Association, Queen Village Neighbors Association and Bella Vista Town Watch to name just a few, all have their eyes on Washington Avenue’s awkward maturation. “The reason it’s been stalled is that there’s been a lot of disagreement about Museum of Art Program 11 a.m. and Game Day Thursday 1 p.m. July 23; Minecraft Club 2 p.m. July 24; Teen Movie Monday 2 p.m. and LEGO Club 4 p.m. July 27; Toddler Storytime 10 a.m. and Teen Craft Tuesday 1 p.m. July 28; Minecraft Video Club 4 p.m. and Arabic Class for Children 5:30-7 p.m. July 29. 2437 S.

We can do much better here. We started a couple months ago, we urged the Philadelphia Parking Authority to get people to stop parking in the median and we’ve been reasonably successful,� Cobb said. “I think we’re getting to a compromise that everyone is agreeable to and will greatly increase safety, especially for bicyclists and pedestrians, and we’re hoping for that compromise to include a cy Program 2 p.m. July 24; World Builders Writing Club 3 p.m. July 25; Magic By Poly 2 p.m. July 26; Insectivore! 10 a.m., Baby and Toddler Story Time 11 a.m., SmART Readers: Art and Literacy Program 2 p.m., Comic Book Creation 101 and Teen Media Mondays 3 p.m. July 27; iPad Basics for Seniors 10:30 a.m., Preschool Storytime with Miss Leigh 11 a.m., Teen Tuesdays 3 p.m., Chess for Kids 4 p.m., Computer Class: E-Resources for Job Seekers 6:30 p.m. and Kathy Reichs reads from “Speaking in Bones: A Temperance Brennan Novel� 7:30 p.m. July 28; A Taste of Spain with Alborada Spanish Dance Theatre 10:30 a.m. and Marriage Equality: An In-Depth Analysis of the Historic Court Decision 11 a.m. July 29. 1901 Vine St. 215-686-5322.

portation and Parking Study is a Transportation and Community Design Initiative grant funded by the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission,� as a memorandum from Kittleson & Associates, Inc. reads, a transportation and engineering firm in Baltimore. They were charged with summarizing the project and recommending action to Jeannette Brugger, Philadelphia’s Bike and Pedestrian coordinator for the Mayor’s Office of Transportation and Utilities (MOTU). “Several forms of analysis, evaluation, and on-site review/data collection were completed to support and inform recommendations for the Washington Avenue corridor. These include an evaluation and inventory of the existing parking and loading supply, demand, and operations; a review of all crash date for a 3-year time frame (’10-2012); and detailed traffic operations analysis of each signalized intersection along the study corridor for all proposed conceptual configurations.� And there have been crashes. The BCGP prompt to take action includes these startling facts: “The Planning Commission’s consultant found that between 2010-2012, 900 (reportable and non-reportable) crashes of motorists, pedestrians and bicyclists occurred on Washington Avenue. In particular, crashes cluster between 5th Street and 9th Street and between 9th Street and 17th Street, likely due to the high number of conflicts in these areas. Bicyclists and pedestrians have become vulnerable users

narrow median and a wider bike lane.� Washington Avenue is huge. Its four lanes with a turn lane, similar to Oregon Ave., is actually wider than South Broad Street. Daily Traffic Comparison numbers show that 9,800 cars pass through Washington; 22,000 on Broad Street; 15,000 on Oregon; and 12,000 on East Passyunk Avenue (with only two lanes). And yet, the primary concern is motorist traffic. Clark Stuart lays out the three primary objections to the slightest of tinkering with lane reductions: “A fear that fewer travel lanes will greatly increase travel time across the corridor or that it will increase more traffic on side streets; a fear about the back-in angle parking being problematic and dangerous; and then the confusion or fear that there isn’t enough loading zones for the commercial property owners.� She said “all of those combined have created a lot of sense of doubt.� “Yeah, it’s a complex issue, definitely,� Cobb admitted. “The major point of contention was a lane reduction,� he added, but in all likelihood that’s just not happening. Too many people will freak out. But in the meantime, Clark Stuart and the Coalition are saying that there’s much that can and should be done quickly and immediately to make it a little better for pedestrians and cyclists. “I think with a very quickly changing nature of Washington Avenue, there is a recognition on the property owner’s part that having a more complete street with better bike lanes and safer crossings is part of attracting more customers, residents, and that it would be good for Washington Ave.,� Clark Stuart said. +(*

onald Trump surely has been making headlines for the past few weeks. The Donald J. Trump for President campaign is up, running and, surprisingly to some, thriving. The Queens, N.Y. native, Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania graduate, bestselling author and co-producer of 14-season strong “The Apprenticeâ€? is making a run for the President of the United States again, and he’s already made some really big waves. In a July 20-released Washington Post-ABC poll, Trump emerged as a leader amongst nearly 12 declared candidates. Simultaneously, in the last three weeks, Trump has made disparaging comments about Latinos and Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.). On the former, he said in a late-June speech: “When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best‌ They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.â€? The backlash has been pretty mighty, and it’s even manifested into some “Trump for Presidenteâ€? posters that started popping up around New York City and Philadelphia in July. The artist responsible for them is a law school dropout who goes by the name Hanksy, stylized as such due to one of his first projects in which he used Tom Hanks’ face with a Banksy-style work. Banksy is a pseudonymous activist, painter and graffiti artist from the United Kingdom. “My girlfriend’s from Philly and her family’s from Philly and her sister lives in South Philly,â€? Brandon Rosenblatt,

Photo by Hanksy

Hanksy’s assistant, said of the Trump poster connection. “He sort of thought it would be funny to make up this fabricated story that Donald had called him to run his advertising campaign to win the votes of Hispanics.� Somewhere between 15 and 20, six to 10 in each city, went up in NYC and Philly and “South Philly got about half of those. A lot of them got taken down pretty quickly by people that want them,� Rosenblatt added. The connection is Angela DePersia, the sister of Rosenblatt’s girlfriend, who “lives near the Italian Market on Ninth Street. She’s been a really good way for him to sneak into Philly for a couple days and [poster] easily and quickly and she’ll house him for a day or so.�

Many pop culture icons have spoken up to rail against Trump’s anti-immigrant rhetoric, from Rosie Perez to America Ferrera. There are many locals who are just as frustrated and who see Trump as a sign of a greater problem in American culture. Jasmine Rivera, lead organizer for soon-to-be-Sixthand-Tasker-streets-based Juntos, a Latino immigrant rights organization, said simply “Trump is a like a symptom of a much larger disease that’s starting to get worse.â€? Ben Miller, with his wife Cristina Martinez, just officially opened South Philly Barbacoa in the former Vegan Commissary storefront at 1703 S. 11th St. It’s a traditional Mexican cooking method of roasting whole lambs for tacos and consommĂŠ. They used to run a food cart on the sidewalk by Eighth and Watkins streets, but neighbors complained. Miller’s taken his and his wife’s business as a way to advocate for fairness in immigrant policies. “We’re here to be an example that undocumented immigrants are contributing to the economy. We pay taxes. We’re a family that’s trying to support ourselves and build community,â€? Miller explained. “And raise awareness among people in the restaurant industry to not fail to acknowledge the contribution of undocumented workers that work alongside them and to recognize the people that they know as good family people to stand up to people like Trump, who perpetuates a myth, and it is a myth.â€? Miller aptly noted that Trump has a factory in Mexico that produces clothing with cheap labor and encourages Americans to imagine policies in place that prevent people from ever leaving their country, even if it’s to feed their children. “There’s more poor people than rich people in this country,â€? Miller added, “and the poor people need a voice.â€? +(* Contact Staff Writer Bill Chenevert at bchenevert@southphillyreview.com or ext. 117. Comment at southphillyreview.com/ news/features.

n coordination with National Hot Dog Month, South Street Headhouse District put on the Fourth Annual Dog Days of Summer Cook Off Saturday. Several Society Hill and Queen Village eateries entered dogs into a contest that awarded cash and prestige to the winner. With a five-judge panel, myself one of them, Cavanaugh Headhouse won first place and $1,000 for a dog with pork sausage and bacon, queso and jalapeno. Second place and People’s Choice honors went to Bridget Foy, 200 South St., for its Nitty Gritty Dog with watermelon rind, crispy basil, onions and a barbecue sauce. Girard Estate’s Taproom on 19th, 2400 S. 19th St., secured third place honors for its Polish Dog with keilbasa, pierogi, fried cabbage, onions and tomato. My personal favorite was from a restaurant that’s not open yet, Hungry Pigeon, 743 S. Fourth St., a fairly traditional Philly Poppins dog with red onion, banana pepper, spicy brown mustard and a bit of cream.

ollowing his undergraduate days at Allentown College of St. Francis de Sales, now DeSales University, Damon Bonetti, though pleased with his performance record, realized he needed more immersion into the theatrical world to craft consistent executions of roles. Also desiring directing distinction, the native of the 2200 block of South Bonsall Street has two Barrymore Award nominations as proof of his progress, yet he has not allowed the serious nature of the business to detract from its humorous aspects. In a neat example of irony, the man so enthralled with the development of characters is helming “No Sex Please, We’re British,� a farce with matters of the flesh as the star. “People shouldn’t be seeing this one hoping for much depth,� the 40-year-old overseer said laughing. “It’s such a fun

piece and a wonderful opportunity to enjoy a summer show.� The West Passyunk product is guiding the comedy through Aug. 23 at the Rose Valley-situated Hedgerow Theatre Co. space. A hybrid of humor that one would find in Benny Hill, Monty Python and “The Pink Panther� franchise, the script is helping Bonetti to fall more in love with farce, which he recently explored with South Philly dwellers Daniel Fredrick and Dave Johnson in “The Hound of the Baskervilles,� and to ponder “the mathematics of comedy.� “There are sexual situations, mistaken identities and terrible puns, and the combination is just great,� he said of the work, which debuted in London’s West End in 1971 and received 16 Broadway performances two years later. “Throw in that I’ve made The Kinks the soundtrack,

B?<;IJOB;I and it all makes for something not too taxing but nonetheless exciting.� While enhancing his association with the Delaware County-based entity, Bonetti is simultaneously strengthening his bond with Commonwealth Classic Theatre Co., which will have him direct the world premiere of “Rage of Achilles� next month. Skewing heroic personas, the latter demands a “much more theatrical� approach, but regardless of a project’s identity, he appreciates each occasion to add to the diverse professional plate that keeps him constantly courting compelling material. “It’s often feast or famine in this field,� Bonetti said. “Whichever one that people are going through, they have to trust that what they’re doing is placing them or keeping them on the right path. In a way, you have to be a fan of yourself, so to speak. From that, so many possibilities can flow.� LIVING IN SOUTH Philly until 12, Bonetti relocated with his family to Washington Township, with friend-assisted cinematic projects providing an initial outlet for

N a ] c b V ^ V W Z Z g ` Sd W Se Q ] [

his creativity. Senior year of high school yielded adoration for poetry and William Shakespeare, with community college and undergraduate studies breeding belief in his brand. “I felt I had really good instincts and could articulate certain elements of a role, but I knew I needed polishing,â€? Bonetti, who became a hire for the Walnut Street Theatre, among others, before acquiring his master’s at Florida State University/ Asolo Conservatory for Actor Training, said. “I wanted to perform at a high level consistently because there has to be a true appreciation for the text to help someone not only to stand out but to advance the whole acting scene.â€? His birth city and surrounding environs have proven extremely welcoming to his enthusiasm, with his rĂŠsumĂŠ featuring interactions with such revered employers as Inis Nua Theatre; Luna Theatre Co., 620 S. Eighth St.; and Theatre Exile, 1340 S. 13th St., which come October will cast him as Sal Paolantonio in “Rizzo.â€? He returned to South Philly in 2003, living on the 2600 block of South Jessup Street with his Barrymore Award-winning bride,

Charlotte Northeast, before moving to Collingswood, N.J., five years later. “There are just so many opportunities to do great work in this area,� the thankful thespian said of his fortune. “That means meeting many excellent people, too.� Having always yearned to unite his affinities for acting and directing and to explore more vintage pieces, he teamed with peer Dan Hodge, of the 900 block of Sigel Street, to found the Philadelphia Artists’ Collective, which enlists Northeast, Krista Apple-Hodge and Dickinson Square West inhabitant Katherine Fritz to promote “rarely performed classical plays through workshops and readings.� “It’s ideal for me to do a bit of both each season,� Bonetti said of handling and offering direction, the former which he will engage in for the collective’s September FringeArts Festival entry “The Captive� and the latter which he will honor for April’s “He Who Gets Slapped,� a collaboration with The Philadelphia School of Circus Arts and West Passyunk denizen Terry Brennan. “I want to be a part of telling great stories, and each chance to do that is something I wish to nail as part of

this big juggling act of making a living.� Enthused about fostering fellow stage enthusiasts’ dreams, he has also enjoyed a busy academic career through instructing budding minds at Drexel, Rowan and Rutgers universities, noting how teaching informs all of his passions, including fatherhood, which he absolutely cherishes as the patriarch of 4-year-old Julian, music, which he intensifies as the lead guitarist of Jawbone Junction, featuring South Philadelphians Jake Blouch and Sarah Gliko, and film and television assignments. “There are many outlets available to me, and that just blows me away,� Bonetti, who next month will also play in the Souderton-headquartered Montgomery Theater production of “God of Carnage,� said. “You definitely want that when you’re at any point in your life, but this is an exciting time for me, and I like balancing all these responsibilities.� SPR For tickets, call 610-565-4211, or visit hedgerowtheatre.org.

Our TV was a three-way Admiral combination with a 12-inch screen. Kids did not have their own television. Hell, you got a radio and a phonograph player for one price. We purchased the TV in ’51.

Our family took a taxi to Aunt Jenny’s house to watch it. The TV picture was reflected in a mirror of some sort.

hey call it “The Forgotten War.� Nothing worse than to fight in a “forgotten war.� The Korean War dragged on for three years; almost 34,000 American soldiers died in the fighting. Maybe it happened too soon after the shock of World War II and got lost in the aftermath. Maybe the war was overlooked so easily because it became the poster child of the new kind of war — the kind we subsequently faced in Vietnam and later in Iraq — the kind of war where there was no victory and no declaration of war. Some wars end only with exhaustion. No final peace was ever declared in Korea. No peace treaty is in place, even today. It ended in a declared cease-fire dividing Korea into North and South, separated by a demilitarized zone across the 38th parallel. Not the kind of end that creates ticker-tape parades and the clanging of pots and pans. No photos of an unknown sailor kissing a pretty girl as jubilation erupts around them. When we look back today at the years 1950 to ’53, folks think it was all “Happy Days� and “Grease� — the good old days when things were simpler. Only they weren’t. I was 15 when the war ended in a stalemate. As silly and shallow as any 15-year-old that one could find. None of our family fought in the Korean War. If there were hardships here at home, I was blissfully unaware of them. We had a political debate in my senior year of elementary school with the upcoming ’52 presidential election. Dwight Eisenhower versus Adlai Stevenson. At Furness Junior High, I debated for Ike. My junior high school reasoning: Ike wasn’t an “egghead� like Adlai. Ike was the hero of the Normandy invasion that helped end World War II. Ike promised to end the unpopular war and bring the troops home. That was good enough for me. I defamed Stevenson as a book-reading, pipe-smoking intellectual without a plan to get us out of Korea. I do not remember who won that debate. Ike won the election. The war ended a year later. Not all of our American troops came home. We still have about 30,000 troops stationed in South Korea some 62 years after that war ended. Those times are a blur. No chronology to them in my memory.

t seems preposterous to suggest that, at 76, after so much stunning work, Ian McKellen has given the performance of his career. But that’s the sense one gets when leaving “Mr. Holmes,� the gorgeous new mystery that reunites McKellen with his “Gods and Monsters� director, Bill Condon. From stage to screen, McKellen has uncannily embodied characters created by Shakespeare and Tolkien, yet he’s never quite brought such world-weary pathos to a role as he does to that of an aging Sherlock Holmes. “Mr. Holmes� plays it straight, acknowledging the now 93-year-old sleuth as a real, retired detective, whose famed persona was built via case accounts penned and published by his late partner, Dr. John Watson. Now, Holmes is attempting to write a book of his own, haunted by a particular case involving a woman and her miscarried children, and suffering from dementia that worsens by the day. Fresh from a trip to Hiroshima where he sought out herbal remedies, Holmes is staying in a rural home in Sussex with his housekeeper (Laura Linney) and her son (Milo Parker), who’s deftly, if somewhat unwittingly, easing himself into becoming Holmes’s successor. From the painterly shots of sweeping gardens to the narrative’s slow, delicate burn, “Mr. Holmes� is consummately graceful, and a glorious rebound for a filmmaker who oddly, if somewhat excitingly, opted to wrap up the bumbling “Twilight� saga. The film is a paean to memory, loss and memory loss, all tied to a fictional icon made vividly realistic. McKellen playfully relishes lines that debunk common myths (Holmes never wore a deerstalker, for example), but also loses

himself in moments of crushing vulnerability and regret. Admittedly, McKellen’s performance may have more profound impact given his age, and that we’ve seen him evolve on screen for so long. There’s emotional baggage in his turn as Holmes, which is no doubt informed by the weathered experiences that every actor brings to his work. But not every actor can, or needs to be, so bare and bold and exquisite in his realization of a role. McKellen isn’t just showing us Holmes, he’s showing us himself — and, just maybe, that he’s the finest actor alive today.

atience can be rewarding, especially when it comes to Terry Ianelli’s Signature Basil Chicken. The resident of the 2600 block of South Mildred Street gives the chicken plenty of time to soak in the combination of basil, Parmesan cheese and garlic to provide her lucky samplers with the best favor experience possible. The Lower Moyamensing inhabitant suggested that readers serve this moist and tender dish, which she deems her favorite way to bake chicken, with spaghetti, but if that offering, another member of the pasta family or something else joins one’s plate, the results figure to be fantastic.

his weekend, cousins from Delaware will be visiting us. I have decided my kitchen is closed except for a cup of coffee. People often ask me “What is your favorite restaurant?� Or, “Can you recommend a casual place for Sunday brunch?� and “Are there any happy hour specials you prefer over others?� Feting the out-of-town family should be fun. It must be stress-free and well-organized. Remember, not all Philadelphians are down the shore during the brutally hot summer. When the cousins last visited, we enjoyed a splendid dinner at Paradiso Restaurant and Wine Bar, 1627 E. Passyunk Ave. As of this writing, I am not sure where we will have brunch and dinner. If I took an unscientific poll, I would find that happy hour has become as popular as Sunday brunch. It seems every restaurant in nearly every neighborhood offers specials. Here are some of my top haunts. The Oyster House, 1516 Sansom St., offers buck-a-shuck oysters and fat juicy cherrystone clams. The dollar special is usually Delaware Bay beauties. Stateside, 1536 E. Passyunk Ave., offers $1 oysters, as does Anastasi Seafood, 1101 S. Ninth St. Cherrystones are also on order. One can build a meal around appetizers at Le Viet, 1019 S. 11th St. A good-sized list such as spring rolls, summer rolls and the like are half price. Sunday brunch is booming throughout the city. South Philly is often on my list. My visit to Hawthornes, 738 S. 11th St., last winter proves it is just as fine as it was before a fire shuttered the place for a year. It is hard to believe that Sam’s Morning Glory Diner, 735 S. 10th St., has been in business since 1997. The pancakes are tops here. French omelettes and stone ground grits are my favored dishes at The Sidecar Bar & Grille, 2201 Christian St., along with the bill of fare at Kraftwork, 541 E. Girard Ave., its sister restaurant in Fishtown. Last week, I wrote of the delightful fourcourse $40 dinner at Monsu, 901 Christian St., which is cash only and BYOB. If family is in town for an extended stay, Ela, 627 S. Third St., in Queen Village offers a three-course $30 dinner with half-price bottles of wine on Monday nights. The Reading Terminal, 51 N. 12th St.,

Old City’s Zahav deserves consideration. SPR File Photo

always brings smiles to those who are visiting for the first time. The roast pork sandwich with sharp provolone and broccoli rabe from DiNic’s or anything on the menu from Sand Kee followed by a cone or cup of Bassetts ice cream with jimmies will fuel someone during the afternoon, especially if the family wants to see the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, the Constitution Center or the National Museum of American Jewish History. The cupcake revolution was a bust in Philadelphia. It never took off. But we have Federal Donuts, 1219 S. Second St., 1632 Sansom St., and 3428 Sansom St. These sweet treats are the best in the city, and I do not usually like to use the word “best.� The fancies, which remind me of the Mummers, change from monthto-month. Since it is summertime, fruits such as Jersey blueberries may find their way into the batter. And do not forget the fried chicken. It is downright sinful. I have not been to Zahav, 238 St. James Place, chef Michael Solomonov’s awardwinning Israeli restaurant in Old City right next to the Ritz Five movie theater, since I reviewed it a number of years ago upon its opening. I cannot think of a restaurant to match it either here or in New York City. If we plan to see a movie, an early dinner at Zahav could be in order. The assorted appetizers, including hummus, which tastes exactly like the one I was served in Israeli restaurants, followed by roast lamb, might be the answer to dinner, especially since our cousins have never been there. Finally, if there is only one restaurant in Old City I would take visiting relatives to visit for brunch it would be High Street on Market, 308 Market St. This casual place is owned by Ellen Yin and award-winning chef Eli Kulp. The homemade bagels and bialys with homemade cream cheese and house-cured salmon are about as fine as one can get. The brunch at Fork, 306 Market St., also owned by Yin and Kulp, never disappoints me. So plan ahead, and be sure to make reservations. As I wrote, not everyone is down the shore. +(* Comment on this restaurant or review at southphillyreview.com/food-and-drink/reviews.

also traveled to Maryland last year for a triathlon, said. “This foundation is doing amazing work to spread a message of hope and to remind people never to give up.� Through its Inspire initiative, the entity has connected her with a male patient contending with multiple myeloma, the second most common form of blood cancer. Discussions with him have bred added perspective on her participation, with thoughts on her aunt, Mary, an Ohio inhabitant with the malady, further fostering her strength. “Anyone with this affliction has my support,� Engleson said, giving a glance to her right arm, which bore her relative’s name in marker. “Family is huge, for sure, but all multiple myeloma patients matter, and promoting this event helps me to grow as

someone who appreciates any opportunity to be of some assistance.� ALWAYS VERY ACTIVE, especially as a girl growing up in Minnesota, the resident of the 1100 block of South Broad Street strayed from being involved in organized sports but nonetheless knew the merits of being mobile. Taking up running in February ’13, she confessed that the discipline did not initially appeal to her and won her favor only this year. “You grow to like what forces you to step out of your comfort zone,� Engleson said. “There’s always a lesson to take from any attempt we make at bettering ourselves, and change is a necessary part of that.� Alteration played a part in forming her

at southphillyreview.com/blogs.php professional identity, as business management courses at the University of Minnesota led to the belief that she would have a corporate identity. Selling real estate for five years in Las Vegas, she gained a sense of her business acumen, enhancing that as a wedding planner for I Do Belize Weddings. “That’s another outlet for connecting with people and being positive,� Engleson said of uniting hearts in the Central American land. “I’ve been able to intensify my interest in yoga through time there, too, so that gives me more joy because it’s something I absolutely love.� That attraction has led to her distinction as a yoga instructor, which pairs with her designation as a doula to characterize her even more as a health-conscious crusader. “Being a birth coach is amazing on so many levels,� Engleson, who will instruct her first hypnobirthing class on Tuesday based on her recent certification acquisition in Louisiana, said, noting the increased ease that often accompanies deliveries. “It’s so exciting to assist in the welcoming of life into the world.� With last year’s passing of friend Kara to breast cancer, she also knows the sadness of saying goodbye. Recalling her 34-year-old contemporary’s immense will, which not even Stage IV of her disease could diminish as she encouraged Engleson to continue her training, the local, who adorned her left arm with “Kara� for her Monday interview with the South Philly Review, believes that everyone needs a perennially positive person during hard times. Enamored with the prospect of contributing to multiple myeloma patients’ quests for comfort, she will spend every second on Sunday feeling grateful for her role as a conduit to a possible cure. “I take so much from the enthusiasm that the organizers, volunteers and participants show,� Engleson, who is accepting donations through 12:30 p.m. Saturday and who will place on her body a temporary tattoo of the names of those who give at least $140.60, said. “I volunteered at Lake Placid last year, and I can’t wait to take on the triathlon this time.� SPR Visit support.themmrf.org/goto/yogapeach.

eli Engleson has never lacked a fervent focus on the benefits of physical activity, with the devotion boding well for her body. Also blessed with a helpful heart, the 35-year-old will combine her allegiance to fitness with the allure of aiding others Sunday by competing in IRONMAN Lake Placid, a Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation event that will find her lauding the courage of an aunt who is battling the affliction and reflecting on the influence of a friend who last year succumbed to breast cancer. “I love to challenge myself, but this endeavor has many more rewards than that,� the Passyunk Square dweller said of her Upstate New York journey. “I want to acknowledge two very special individuals and make as many people as possible aware of the efforts to combat multiple myeloma.� Engleson will be participating in her third Ironman triathlon, with this marking her debut as an MMRF Team for Cures constituent. Set to cover 140.6 miles through swimming, biking and running duties, she is going to rely on her mind as much as her frame to fete her loved ones. “There’s never any reason to complain when you’ve said you’re going to do this,� Engleson noted of the temptation to tab the test too taxing. “Think of what people are enduring in their lives, and you’ll realize that you can likewise face your fears by contributing to a great cause.� In conjunction with her age, the agile altruist established a fundraising goal of $35,000, 85 percent of which she had reached at press time. Having dealt with outside doubts that she would be able to finish her inaugural triathlon, March 2014’s venture to Los Cabos, which she conquered in just over 16 hours, Engleson is not daring to indulge in hubris but remains confident she will conclude her chores well before entrants’ 17-hour allotment has elapsed. “I’m passionate about helping to make a difference,� the composed competitor, who
