y now youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen the maps, maybe even the one thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a comical spoof full of dragons, lava and moats, that depict the shutdowns and closures expected for Pope Francisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; visit to Philadelphia late next month. The closures and gates are of grave concern to many Philadelphians â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it seems the number one trending topic of casual discussion across the city. Many non-Catholics are planning to
flee the city and many will rent their houses and apartments to visiting families. Some folks may have to stay in their homes indefinitely and some may sleep on cots at their place of employment due to closures of Interstate 76, 676 and the Ben Franklin Bridge. In an open letter in the Daily News via Will Bunchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Attytood column, he titled it â&#x20AC;&#x153;An open letter to Mayor Nutter: You. Are. Screwing. This. Up.â&#x20AC;? Mayor Michael A. Nutter even responded the following day with a letter to the paper entitled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fran plan
going just fine.â&#x20AC;? Many locals are crying poor information dissemination from City Hall and panicking about the Friday-to-Monday stretch, Sept. 25 to 28, and how it will affect their lives. The South Philly Review reached out to the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, who, in concert with the World Meeting of Families, is encouraging Philadelphians to see the excitement and grandeur of a papal visit that no one else in America will experience quite like ours. Pope Francis will indeed visit Washington D.C. and New
York City on this 2015 stateside visit, but Philadelphians get the bulk of his time, including the most momentous of the pontiffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s itinerary â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a papal Sunday Mass that anticipates drawing as many as 1 million visitors to the Benjamin Franklin Parkway on Sept. 27. Pope Benedict visited New York and D.C. in 2008, and Ken Gavin, the Archdioceseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director of communications, who provided responses to six big questions, points out that â&#x20AC;&#x153;Papal visits to the United States usually ASS >=>3 4@/<17A ^OUS ,,

To the Editor: Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face the facts. Donald Trump provides comic relief in the presidential race and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s it (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Backing the Trump card,â&#x20AC;? Aug. 13). He is an embarrassment and a joke. There is no way on Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s green earth that the Republican Party will nominate him. Can anyone really envision him in a meeting with national leaders to discuss nuclear weapons? For some reason, which defies logic, Mr.
Trump thinks that he is the perfect candidate for the Republican Party. Obviously, he enjoys hearing the sound of his own voice. I must admit that I watched only 30 minutes of the Fox debate to check on Mr. Trumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entertainment value. Sadly, my expectations were set too high. Hillary Clinton will have the last laugh. 1O`]Z / >Oa_cO`SZZ] A]cbV >VWZORSZ^VWO

<]b a] U]ZRS\ To the Editor: While reading Frank Cavallaroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gushing letter about his â&#x20AC;&#x153;true saviorâ&#x20AC;? Donald Trump (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Backing the Trump card,â&#x20AC;? Aug. 13), I was not sure if he was happy that Trump had some really good plans for the country, or that he was just enjoying the headaches that the Donald is causing the Republicans. It seems that Trumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest asset, according to Frank, is that he â&#x20AC;&#x153;cannot and will not be bought and paid forâ&#x20AC;? like all the other â&#x20AC;&#x153;trash.â&#x20AC;? Well, on that score, Frank has a point. A billionaire like Trump does not need a Super PAC to finance his run for president; he keeps bragging that he is his own man. I guess when your net worth is close to $9 billion, you can dismiss the campaign donations. I am not sure I agree with Frank, however, that being obscenely wealthy, (Trump has a gold-plated toilet in his private jet) is the best criterion for governing a nation where the median income is around $54,000. Nor how well a bombastic, egotistic personality is perceived by the rest of the world. 5Z]`WO 1 3\R`Sa A]cbV >VWZORSZ^VWO Comment on these letters or topics at southphillyreview.com/opinion/letters.

t 9:58 a.m. Monday, the primary offender walked into Castro Grocery Store, 1500 S. 15th St., and told the worker she left her welfare card inside the store a few days ago, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. The complainant confided he did not know the whereabouts of the item and showed her video of the day in question. The woman began to argue with him, and she and her accomplice punched him and threw food items at him. Taking approximately $250 from the cash register, they proceeded to ransack the store and fled in an unknown direction. The victim described both as black, 20 to 30 years old and 5-foot-6.

At 5 p.m. Aug. 9, surveillance video inside Ba Le Bakery, 606 <O\Qg 2c]\U Washington Ave., captured the image of the woman as she slipped inside her purse a cell phone that another customer had left behind. The suspect then fled the area in an unknown direction. An investigation revealed the female made a purchase after the incident, allowing authorities to determine her identification. On Aug. 13, having tracked the phone to the 1300 block of South Grove Street, they recovered the gadget within a residence and arrested Nancy Duong.

A burglary in Point Breeze has authorities searching for two men whose heist included the swiping of a gun. Responding to a radio call on the 1600 block of South 21st Street at 12:45 a.m. Saturday, they met with the complainant, learning he had found his living room in disarray upon arriving 15 minutes earlier, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. He noticed his poker case open, desk drawers pulled out and his gun box left open, with a firearm and two empty magazines missing. Checking the rest of the abode, he observed the back door kicked in and upon further inspection, he also reported two designer watches, a Smart Wheel and medication missing. He described the offenders that he saw fleeing as male, with the first possibly being Asian; having a thin build and tattoos on both forearms; and wearing a white Tshirt, the same color hat and light pants; and the second as possibly Asian; having a thin build; and wearing a white T-shirt and black jeans.

Three men combined to assault another male in East Passyunk Crossing. Responding to the 1700 block of South Seventh Street at 3 p.m. Aug. 5, authorities observed the complainant unresponsive on the highway with blood coming from his face, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. They met with a witness who told them two unknown Hispanic males hit the complainant, who received transport to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, with their fists while a black male held him up. They then rushed off down Tasker Street. The observer described the Hispanics as 16 to 20 years old and wearing white T-shirts with possible red shorts and the black male as being within the same age range; being shirtless; and wearing black pants.

Police are searching for at least two men who pulled off a home invasion in Dickinson Square West. Authorities ventured to an abode on the 1500 block of South Marshall Street at 12:40 a.m. Aug. 3 and met with the occupants, with the female telling them she observed an unknown light coming from downstairs, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. Having yelled to the other resident, who was sleeping in the front bedroom, that someone was in the house, she ran into the bathroom upon hearing voices calling for money.

ure, classrooms may be the logical environment and normal way of teaching things in school. However, what if that space extended out to the schoolyard and included comfortable benches where students could experience a scenic, outdoor learning environment? Well, at the Marconi-based F. Amadee Bregy Elementary School, 1700 Bigler St., this is no longer a what-if thought thanks to the recent efforts of 17-year-old Jarod Roman, who spent the month of August building benches for his Eagle Scout project. The resident of the 1700 block of West Passyunk Avenue worked at the garden by building seating and repainting a map of the United States located in the schoolyard. Roman, who is a member of Troop 176, which is based at Old Pine Presbyterian Church, drew inspiration on this project through his scoutmaster, Karen Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Hara, who is a teacher at Bregy. She told him about the few benches in the garden and how she would like to teach classes outside if she had more space to do so. Roman was excited to use the skills he acquired during his years as a Boy Scout to help his community, particularly the students at the public school, to improve the neighborhood overall.

lar, his scoutmaster was excited about the projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s completion because she will use the benches to teach classes outside. Families in the community are also happy about Romanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work on the benches and reviving the United States map. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A few families came over to check out the project. They seemed happy,â&#x20AC;? Alexandra Roman, the scoutâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother, said. With the teenagerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s project complete, he rose to the rank of an Eagle Scout at a ceremony held on Saturday. Roman has been a Boy Scout for 10 years. His mother recalls getting a flyer for the Boy Scouts of America when her offspring was in the first grade. She said she â&#x20AC;&#x153;believed that it was a wonderful organization for boys,â&#x20AC;? and so Roman joined. Now that he has completed his project, the ambitious individual shared some words of encouragement for his fellow scouts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It takes a lot of commitment, but they should stick with it. Their hard work will pay off,â&#x20AC;? he said. +(*

>=>3 4@/<17A Q]\bW\cSR T`][ ^OUS involve multi-city stops â&#x20AC;&#x201D; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not everyday events. They are special and historic. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When one views the Papal itinerary, it becomes clear that Philadelphia is where the Pope will have a Pastoral focus. Our city is the place where he will touch the face of humanity.â&#x20AC;? What many Philadelphians do not or refuse to acknowledge is that the Popeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s visit is actually the culmination of a massive international World Meeting of Families, which has had only seven iterations since Pope John Paul II conceived of the traveling celebrations in 1992. It has drawn massive crowds in Rome, Italy (1994 and 2000), Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (1997), Manila, Phillipines (â&#x20AC;&#x2122;03), Valencia, Spain (â&#x20AC;&#x2122;06), Mexico City (â&#x20AC;&#x2122;09), and Milan, Italy (â&#x20AC;&#x2122;12). Philadelphia gets the distinction of being the first domestic destination for the Pope. The WMOF Congress will take place primarily at the Pennsylvania Convention Center, Sept. 22 to 25, and feature adult and youth speakers, workshops, and, in addition to the papal mass, features a Festival of Families on the Parkway on Sept. 26. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very grateful to all of our partners at the city, state, and federal level who have been working hard to ensure that everyone who comes to Philadelphia will have an enjoyable and safe experience,â&#x20AC;? Gavin reports. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Life will be different for 72 hours, but this is a transformative event of historic proportions. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a moment of great pride for the city and the region. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a question of being extreme. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a false perception. There is a delicate balance that needs to be achieved with crowds of the anticipated size. People tend to view things myopically, and that isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t helpful.

Part of the excitement, of course, is the actual Pope thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s paying us a visit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pope Francis has certainly radiated a charisma thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resonated with people from around the world. When he speaks, everyone seems to listen whether they are Catholic, of another faith tradition, or of not faith traditional at all. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been commonly referred to as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;The Francis Effect,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Gavin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re currently on track to be the biggest gathering in the history of the World Meeting of Families. We already have double the number of registrants Milan experienced in 2012, have more exhibitors than projected, and expect about 5,000 to 7,000 journalists to be in town with us for the week.â&#x20AC;? Gavin and the Archdiocese encourage optimism, not defeatism. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can defeat ourselves by giving into the anxieties and worries that go along with any major effort like this â&#x20AC;Ś as we get closer to September 22, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always a temptation to focus on possible challenges involving security, logistics and transportation,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pope Francis is one of the most popular and magnetic world leaders in the past century. His visit here is an irreplaceable moment in history â&#x20AC;Ś But we need to win that spirit by welcoming him with our presence and our personal involvement, not just our words. And we can do that best by joining him here in the city on Independence Mall, at the Festival of Families, and on the parkway for his Sunday Mass. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth it. It will be spectacular. [And] everything will culminate with the visit of the Holy Father, and there is no better way to wrap up the week!â&#x20AC;? +(* Contact Staff Writer Bill Chenevert at bchenevert@southphillyreview.com or ext. 117.

B?<;IJOB;I since William Shakespeare penned the play in the late 1590s. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She is confident and cool,â&#x20AC;? the actress said of the figure, whom she deemed herself as â&#x20AC;&#x153;shocked, scared and excitedâ&#x20AC;? to portray, having originally felt more suited to embody Hero, her younger cousin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve thought, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Wow, I wish I could be like this in real life.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Balfour noted that talks with director Josh Hitchens and their combined research yielded awareness that though she might always seem composed, Beatrice actually uses her gifts with diction to cloak her vulnerability, especially with respect to her relationship with Benedick. She and the overseer have decided to focus heavily on the paramoursâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; history, but no matter the interpretation, the actress cherishes the chance to tab this production her first professional Shakespearean assignment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unmatched,â&#x20AC;? Balfour beamed of the Bard, whom Revolution Shakespeare, under Queen Village resident Griffin Stanton-Ameisen, tabbed her to tout through Februaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s salon style offering Loveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Laboursâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Won 2.0. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is one of his most treasured comedies, so whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not to love about this opportunity?â&#x20AC;?

THE THREE-YEAR SOUTH Philly presence has fostered the feeling-fortunate mindset since her days as a California-reared youth. She received parental encouragement to nourish numerous interests, with her 10-year-old turn in â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Secret Gardenâ&#x20AC;? intensifying stage-based hopes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theater struck me as a safe place to go,â&#x20AC;? Balfour recalled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are aspects of it that can make someone feel itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a hard lifestyle to pursue, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s somewhat so because it can be detrimental to oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s self-esteem because of all the pressure and rejection, but for its ability to help people to be able to stand up and speak, I see it as a lifelong benefit that can help in many disciplines.â&#x20AC;? Upon completing high school in Stockton, she could not classify theater as her dominant diversion, as she yearned to become an animal trainer, with work on Hollywood films as her desired catâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meow. Plays ultimately triumphed through her matriculation at California State University, Fresno, where she realized she should dread not what might come from a career in the arts but what she could miss by not following her heart. Enthusiasm for educating led to a masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in acting pedagogy from the University of Alabama, at-
tendance at which prompted investigation into a Philadelphia-centered career. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stephen ended up accepted to medical school at [Thomas] Jefferson [University] Hospital, so I researched the city for opportunities,â&#x20AC;? Balfour said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ever since our arrival, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve stuck to my belief in letting doors open and following them.â&#x20AC;? That willingness has engendered educational rewards, with Rowan University and Community College of Philadelphia as employers, the latter through which she encourages Shakespearean appreciation by teaching â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Merchant of Venice,â&#x20AC;? and theatrical thrills, with Balfour particularly proud of experiences with South Philly peers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This line of work inspires collaboration and curiosity, and those become even more enriching when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re with a great circle of supportive friends,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all living another life for a bit, but in so doing, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re empowering one another.â&#x20AC;? Fervor for her field has also helped the insightful hire to seek diversity within her roles, with classical, new and devised works appealing to her like a Shakespearean soliloquy would an attention seeker. She has begun to build solid relationships with Delaware and Pennsylvania outfits,
including the South Philly abundant Tribe of Fools; The Renegade Company; and EgoPo Classic Theater Co., for whom she will star in Marchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Women.â&#x20AC;? She has enjoyed a three-year stint assisting Happy Hour Live Productionsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bye Bye Liver,â&#x20AC;? an element of next monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s FringeArts Festival, and instructs waltz, tango, salsa and swing through Dancing with the Students, yet another brainchild teeming with South Philly-situated contributors. Unlike Beatrice, whose confident countenance conceals parts of her personality, Balfour basks in revealing enduring smiles, with opening night commencing on her birthday bringing added joy, and anticipates that as her age increases, so too will her regard for her lot in life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all evolving,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For me, that definitely means being aware not only of my identity but that of others, too. Acting is a great way to appreciate who comes into our lives.â&#x20AC;? SPR For tickets, visit philalandmarks.givezooks. com/events/much-ado-about-nothingperformed-by-the-mechanical-thea.

N a ] c b V ^ V W Z Z g ` Sd W Se Q ] [ worry. Are you any different from me? After I read the list of possible side effects, I swear I have all of them the next day, ... The media loves the attention Trump brings, but it definitely needs a fresh face. And along comes Carly Fiorino. She was declared the winner of the undercard of the Republican debate on Fox. About 18 million FEWER viewers watched Fiorino stand out among the lower ranked tier than did the Trump circus that followed. Fiorinoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s role as the CEO of HewlettPackard will be a key issue in whether her candidacy is real or just her 15 minutes of fame. She got fired and plenty of workers had to file for unemployment during her time. Lost in the glitter of her rising candidacy is a statement she made on one of the Sunday news shows recently. She is against mandated family leave. Not against family leave, she assures us. Just MANDATED family leave. She does not think employers should be told how to run their businesses. The free market just works fine. Points to the recent decision by Netflix to implement family leave for its employees because thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the way you compete in the free market and attract good employees. Right out of the conservative textbook. Government never has to protect workers because the free market assures that employers will always do the right thing. Really? While laudable, Netflixâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family leave policy only covers its highly skilled workers. The folks mailing out your videos to you? Nada. Only 12 percent of all American employees get any kind of family leave. So Fiorinoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s version of the wonders of the free market works only for the well-paid while all the rest can go pound sand... Here is another thing that bugs me about the side effects of chemo. You can get mouth sores from the stuff. Mouth sores? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like someone was tasked with lumping all the most detestable side effects in chemo and threw in mouth sores as the cherry on top. How did they miss prickly heat? ... If the Republican Congress is able to prevent the presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deal with Iran from passing, it will be the most stunning defeat handed to an American president since Woodrow Wilson and his League of Nations. I still have not heard anyone offer a reasonable alternative. ... I just found out steroids can sometimes make you feel happier than you really are. Take a deep breath. Am I really happy with my life, or is it the steroids? Do I care? Should I care? I agree with those who claim you should never go to bed angry because you will not be able to sleep. That was until my wife discovered the real estate show on The Travel Channel. Fran is already asleep. A couple is shopping for an island as their second home. The price tag is $3.5 million, and he says itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s under budget ... zzzzzzzz. +(*
teroids can make you happy. Steroids, even in small doses, takes away my sleep. ... Getting treated for illness. Terrible on yet another level. The doctor forces you to self-analyze. Every symptom you feel is magnified. Forced to worry about yourself obsessively to the exclusion of others, something at which most of us selfish human beings are already experts. ... Kaleidoscope of thoughts race by. Some important. Some not. ... Why is it in our city that sanitation workers hate SEPTA drivers so much? You see it every trash day. A sanitation truck deliberately blocks a bus from moving forward even when there is a space in which to pull in. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a strange onesided â&#x20AC;&#x153;war.â&#x20AC;? The sanitation workers cast an impudent glance back at the bus driver, who stoically stares into space. ... One thing you can say about Donald Trump. He has shown a viable way to beat the Koch Brothers and Sheldon Adelson under our eviscerated campaign finance laws: With your own money. With all the nonsensical bluster, Trumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s truth is that big money canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t buy him. ... Is it possible that every time I select an item from a restaurant menu, it winds up being the serverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s absolute favorite? The server isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pitching the item, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve already ordered it! And insecure fool that I am, I find that I need the serverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s affirmation of my good taste. Does that make me a weak person? ... This Pope visit is really getting out of hand. The Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s draconian security measures are stirring Philadelphiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ire. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good thing that Francis is so universally loved â&#x20AC;&#x201D; except maybe for ultra conservative Catholics who are required by Church law to suffer him in silence. Instead of the anger turning on the Pope, which would have been most unfortunate, it has turned on our mayor, an all-time expert at shrugging off criticism. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s become a lose-lose proposition for Michael Nutter. If something terrible happens during the papal visit, folks will wonder with that inconvenience, we still had an incident? If the Popeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s visit goes off smoothly, the natural conclusion will be the mayor and his security experts overreacted. In either case, our mayor, whose ambitions appear to exceed the confines of City Hall, will get tainted. ... A thought about side effects. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great we get all the information about possible side effects from big pharma, but it comes with a price. No, not the inflated price of the package.

he best recipes transcend generations. Tom Spychalski, of the 1600 block of South 16th Street, agrees, with one of his favorites being his motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Summer Greek Macaroni Salad. This dish combines all the fresh seasonal flavors into one delectable treat and is perfect for summer barbecues. The Point Breeze inhabitant says that he has fond memories of his matriarch making this cookout hit and that it holds up well in the refrigerator, tasting even better on the second or third day; that is, of course, if it lasts that long! +(*

S C I P M Y L PIZZA
The South Philly Review will be presenting the Pizza Olympics event a little differently this year. Instead of each participating pizza parlor or restaurant traveling off premise to give out samples of their signature pies, we will be bringing the people directly to them!!! No more worrying about having enough staff to work the event table and going through hundreds of pizza boxes and other products. For the ďŹ rst time ever we will be selling Pizza CertiďŹ cates, which will entitle the purchaser to sample one slice of pizza from each of the participating shops, then they will vote for their favorites in the following categories: Best Crust, Most Creative, Veggie, White and Overall Favorite. So now, the people will come to your location, during your regular business hours, from 9/10 through 9/30 only. When they come in for their free slice of pizza, you will mark and initial over your store name on the certiďŹ cate, limiting them to just the one slice. Most visitors to your store should purchase a drink or other food products, and hopefully become a customer for life! To kick-start the event, The South Philly Review will run a special Pizza Olympics pull-out section in the September 10th Issue, highlighting the participating parlors and restaurants and explaining the new format for this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event. Winners will be announced in the 10/15 Issue. Also, a portion of all Pizza CertiďŹ cate sales will beneďŹ t area schools!
To participate in the 7th Annual Pizza Olympics, just purchase an ad in the special 9/10 issue and then sit back and let the new customers come directly to you!

knew something was â&#x20AC;&#x153;differentâ&#x20AC;? as soon as I walked into Santucciâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on a cold early spring evening. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where are Bobbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s homemade desserts and delicious breads?â&#x20AC;? As I took a seat near the blackboard, I noticed the only special was a pasta in a vodka blush sauce with salmon. Several weeks later, I read this innovative and talented individual was moving on to become the executive chef at Opa, a Center City-based Greek restaurant that opened a few years ago. After spending time in Greece developing a new menu and training his staff, Saritsoglou took the helm about four months ago. Opa is a casual space with large, open windows, even thought it was 90 degrees outside, a large center bar, polished wood tables set with white china and blue and white napkins. There are small plates (mezedes), midsized plates and entrees. Each entree is large enough for two people. A server brought us a plate of phyllo that was deep-fried to a crisp golden hue and properly salted. I never indulged in anything like this before. From the mezedes, we selected dolmades ($10). I have sampled stuffed grape leaves in many Eastern Mediterranean restaurants. They are usually stuffed with rice and served cold. This version was filled with seasoned beef and ground walnuts and served hot. Warm pita, nestled on a board, arrived with the spreads. Melitzanosalata ($7) was charred eggplant, the flesh scooped from its skin, and served cool. The skin was pureed with lemon juice and was a true surprise. It was not one bit bitter. I am going to try this at home. Skordalia ($7) is a staple in many Greek restaurants. Opaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s version was redolent with garlic and almonds. Saritsoglou. who resides in South Philly, bakes all his breads at the restaurant. From the dakos (barley toast), we opted for grilled sardines ($6) simply because they are among my favorite starters. Meaty marinated sardines were grilled and placed on barley toast with small, sweet slices of heirloom tomatoes. They were so darn delicious that I could have enjoyed another order. We decided to split the fisherman ($17) because it was a new dish for us. Strands of homemade egg pasta were bathed in a spicy white wine olive oil sauce and topped with meaty Gulf shrimp, clams in their shell and sea urchin. Deep coral-colored sea urchin

just made this dish. The meat board ($28) and rabbit ($25) entrees are unusual. Both were served on large round, wooden boards. A beautifully seasoned burger, nestled on an heirloom tomato slice, is deemed to become a signature dish. A small piece of juicy roast organic chicken, homemade sausages with a touch of fennel and two skewers of beef rounded out this extraordinary entrĂŠe. I also liked the sliced cool crisp watermelon radishes included on the board. One bite of the rabbit was a true indicator that Saritsoglou is a brilliant chef who takes risks. The rabbit pieces spent some time in buttermilk, were coated in crumbs and deepfried to perfection. The homemade coleslaw imparted a slightly tart lemon flavor that I really liked. A wedge of sweet watermelon was included on the board. Two different homemade breads were also a first for me. One was a long, thin, warm, narrow baguette dusted with zatar, a herb and spice mix, and the other was a round bread, which resembled a thin chewy bagel, topped with black and white sesame seeds. All of the wines are Greek. Our server helped us to select a glass of Little White Prince ($10) that was similar in flavor to a buttery chardonnay while a glass of Klima Red ($13) was akin to a Merlot. Do not miss the shredded halava that was brimming with honey and honey ice cream. Four tips of the toque to Opa. +(*

he expression â&#x20AC;&#x153;Good things come to those who waitâ&#x20AC;? can prove annoying for numerous reasons, with the sheer indeterminate duration of the delay registering as especially vexing. For Daoud and Said Ouladdaoud, two years passed before they could claim Stadium Pizza & Grill, 2400 S. 10th St., as their own, and thanks to their patience and provisions, the brothers have fashioned a fine relationship with local diners since 2010 and aspire to establish more accord with each endeavor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We love this community and have great respect for the customers,â&#x20AC;? Daoud, 50, said from the siblingsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Lower Moyamensingsituated eatery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every time we make something, our pride is evident.â&#x20AC;? Upon assuming control of the space, he and his 42-year-old co-owner worked hard to rejuvenate its reputation as a reliable neighborhood establishment. The Algerian-born figures and Delaware County residents did so by tweaking the menu and infusing the operation with their vibrant personalities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have many offerings that reflect our passion and that also show we are not above listening to critiques,â&#x20AC;? Said said to a nod from Daoud. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is such diversity in South Philly, so we know itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to try to appeal to everyone.â&#x20AC;? The cohorts have won acclaim for their variety and vigilance, with Daoud beaming of a call in which an elderly Italian woman prone to pronouncing pride over her creations said their pasta topped even
hers. Doughy delights comprise 22 Stadium Pizza & Grill menu items, with Said agreeing to share their Gnocchi with Broccoli Rabe in Blush Sauce recipe. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re seeing more demand in the community for it,â&#x20AC;? he said of the dish, which readers can revise by replacing the gnocchi with ravioli. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our goal is to satisfy these customers. We know they love pizza, and, of course, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in our name, but we like to be about much more than that. This gnocchi is a great example of that.â&#x20AC;?

Add the marinara, bring to a bubble and simmer for up to seven minutes. Fry the broccoli rabe, add the heavy cream and stir all of the contents together to craft the blush sauce.

o say that there are many restaurants thriving and opening in South Philly is an understatement. We seem to be a haven for them, especially along East Passyunk Avenue and its fringe. Eateries that thrive in Fishtown, Center City and West Philly have realized that they want in on the action, too. With closing and opening news flying on a weekly basis, we decided a roundup was in order.
Coeur, 824 S. Eighth St., may be one of the biggest and most-anticipated newbies. The husband and wife team of Brendan Hartranft and Leigh Maida, along with partner Brendan Kelly and chef Andy Tessier, is ready to bring its family of restaurants below South Street. The couple, owners of Memphis Taproom, Local 44 and Strangeloveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, recently said goodbye to the late (but great) Resurrection Ale House, and will open a spot called Clarkville around the corner from Local 44 this fall, as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tip-toeing! Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hitting
the boards hard and opening with a 125-seat monster,â&#x20AC;? Maida said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is something special in the air here at Coeur. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all very very excited to unleash it on the unsuspecting public. If everything goes according to plan, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll open on Sept. 15.â&#x20AC;? She and Hartranft have two children and live in Fairmount, with the husband having just overcome lymphoma and chemotherapy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of the inspiration for Coeur came from reading cookbooks during chemo,â&#x20AC;? Hartranft said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I got done with chemo, Leigh and I
went up to Montreal and drank a lot of burgundy and had a great time â&#x20AC;&#x201D; we were really struck by the accessibility.â&#x20AC;? With some sentimentality, (the name of the restaurant translates to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heartâ&#x20AC;? in French) he says they want â&#x20AC;&#x153;to establish the idea that the most important ingredient in the room is time with one another.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s call Coeur semi-French, French by way of Montreal,â&#x20AC;? Maida added. ASS 5@C0 ^OUS ' ,,

The next two years yielded highs and lows, and as senior year approached, he knew he must improve his physique to enhance his chances of being even more potent, with a training facility finding him extending himself for up to seven hours each day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had great camaraderie and wanted to play with conviction every time out there,â&#x20AC;?

ne cannot contemplate competition without looking at loss, but while many consider that concept a negative, when the topic includes parting with pounds to enhance performance, Dino Cattai can count himself an advocate of being fine with falling. Having dropped 65 pounds ahead of his senior year at St. Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Preparatory School, the resident of the 1600 block of West Moyamensing Avenue enjoyed a stellar campaign on the baseball field that he will use as a springboard in commencing his journey at Chestnut Hill College. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I admire the program so much already,â&#x20AC;? the 18-year-old said Tuesday from his Marconi home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll mesh very well with everyone and make some amazing experiences.â&#x20AC;? Cattai confided that the Northwest Philly institution â&#x20AC;&#x153;came out of nowhereâ&#x20AC;? in pursuing him and that the process came together quickly, leading to his late-winter decision to become a Griffin. In heading to the member of the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference, he continues the facilityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commendable record of securing South Philadelphia contributors, with Girard Estateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dom Raia having just concluded his lauded career and Marconiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Michael Borelli and Point Breezeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Demetrius Isaac hoping for hits once February arrives. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone is very up front with everything,â&#x20AC;?
