CASHED OUTNewly elected Sheriff Jewell Williams faces an office in disarray and citizens clamoring for the millions they’re owed. But the city and state see returning the money as a dangerous precedent. By Ryan Briggs

I n 2010, Tom White discovered that his deceased father-in-law had owned an overgrown vacant lot at 4205 Boone St., in Roxborough — an address White had never visited.

It wasn’t inconceivable that his father-in-law had lost track of the property in his waning years. “He probably had no knowledge of it — he was an older man,” says White, who is retired and lives in South Carolina.

What surprised him was that the land had recently been auc-tioned by the Philadelphia Sheriff’s Office to cover unpaid taxes that had accrued in the years since his father-in-law’s death in 2001. It sold for nearly $10,000 more than what was owed on the land, a sur-plus that the Sheriff must legally return to White, the executor of the estate. Like potentially tens of thousands of other former, sometimes unsuspecting Philadelphia landowners, White hasn’t seen a penny.

It’s not for lack of attempts to contact the office. “Either the line was busy, or nobody answered, or the mailbox was full. I had one per-son call me back who said she was working on 70 cases and told me to expect my money by Thanksgiving. Then she said by New Year’s. Then I just couldn’t reach her. Eventually her mailbox was full, too,”

says White, reached by phone.It’s not an uncommon story in a city full of abandoned property

and its share of foreclosures. This is a glimpse of the human cost born from the smoldering wreckage left by former Sheriff John Green, who resigned after 23 years in office in January of last year amidst audits and investigations into his mismanagement of the department.

His successor, Jewell Williams, was sworn in this January. Williams now faces the daunting prospect of rebuilding the Real Estate Division of the office, which is responsible for public auc-tions and the return of surplus auction proceeds to individuals like White. But with the Real Estate Division in disarray — and, more to the point, with the city and state unwilling to set a precedent

for handing out millions of dollars, however deservedly — Williams and White may both be waiting awhile.

The problem is that the Real Estate Division was the lucrative core of Green’s dis-

graced administration. The City Controller in November reported that between 2005 and 2010 alone, an astounding $206 million was channeled by the division through two dubious vendors, Reach Communication Specialists Inc. and RCS Searchers Inc., both owned by a friend of Green — and at least $6.2 million in excess fees went into the vendors’ coffers.

Described by departmental employees as effectively “running” the Real Estate Division, Reach Communication operated with almost no oversight or effective record keeping. Its tenure saw surplus

Dubious ven-dors effec-tively ran the department.

NEW SHERIFF IN TOWN: Jewell Williams says he

wants to reform the officeand return moneys owed; whether he has the clout to do it is another matter.

ROB LYBECK

[ is almost farcically ineffective ][ a million stories ]

✚ INFERNAL AFFAIRSAlmost exactly two years ago, City Paper published a cover story by contributing writer Andrew Thompson (no relation) whose title asked the following question: “Who Polices the

Philadelphia Police?”“Not the Police Advisory Commission” would have been one accu-

rate subtitle. The PAC, as Thompson observed, is almost farcical-

ly ineffective.Though it has subpoena powers, the body has held an average of just over one actual hearing on matters of citizen complaint per year. It has not published an annual report for four years. Recently, according to Commissioner Veronica Castillo-Perez, the PAC boldly acted to hire someone who could con-

duct interviews in Spanish.Spanish, for crying out loud.The PAC is notoriously slow at closing cases, and it’s unclear

how many cases the board actually meaningfully reviews at all: not clear because the PAC publishes almost none of its findings

and refused a Right to Know request by Thompson to disclose its records — any of them.

Which makes one wonder what, exactly, Mayor Michael Nutter meant when he told WHYY this week, with a straight face,that “as far as I can tell, they’re up and operating and doing their job.” Of course, it was then-Councilman Nutter’s legislation that created the advisory commission in the first place: Perhaps it’s

paternal instinct.Less protective is Councilman Curtis Jones Jr., who broached the

issue of police brutality in Council hearings ,and whose legislative agenda for 2012 called for reforms to the Police Advisory Commission — including such radical proposals as making them actually

write that annual report and put actual information in it. So far,

the legislation hasn’t surfaced yet — but Jones seems intent on doing something.And when it comes to the Police Advisory Commission, that’s something indeed. —Isaiah Thompson

✚ ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT“They better not start things off with a prayer,” someone mut-tered as hundreds of Point Breeze residents filed into the sanctuary at Mount Zion Pentecostal Church for the latest in a series of vola-

tile zoning meetings fraught with issues of race, class and gentrification. “But,” a neighbor responded, “we might need it.”

The Monday meeting, run by South Philadelphia H.O.M.E.S. Inc., was for the kind of project that wouldn’t get all that much

attention elsewhere: Developer Ori Feibush, who owns OCF Realty and the blog NakedPhilly.com, wants to build 13 “affordably high end” housing units (mostly moderately sized one-bedrooms) with ground-floor retail. But while many community members said the development was gravely needed, other longtime resi-dents saw something else.

“This is very sentimental to me,” said Angela Anderson, gesturing at a photo of the site, a series of blighted lots on Point Breeze Avenue and Titan Street. “I know how things work

when a neighborhood is being gentrified.”The way they work, argued Tiffany Green and Theresa McCormick

— who appeared to have been behind widely circulated fliers saying rents would rise to $1,500 to $2,000 and accusing Feibush of “prey-

ing on the poor and minority”— is that current residents get priced out and Hispanic workers, not local African-Americans, get the construction jobs. “It’s just always coming in here and taking

and taking from us; that’s why we’re tired,” McCormick said. >>> continued on page 11

BLAME GAMETHERE HAS BEENmuch in the news recent ly

about Reyna Aguirre-Alonso, the North Philadel phia bo dega clerk killed in cold blood on Jan. 23 because she was, or was believed to have been, a witness to a murder last November.

On Jan. 27, police arrested 23-year-old Jorge Aldea, a young man who had a long rap sheet and had been in jail on a gun-possession charge — but who had been able to post his own bond after a judge had lowered it, just a little over a week before Alonso was shot. Mayor Michael Nutter has lashed out at the judge; the District Attorney has pointed fingers at police, saying the DA wasn’t notified that Aldea was the main suspect in the November murder; and police have shot back, saying the DA was indeed informed.

But the accusation that no one wants to talk about is the one made by residents to newspaper reporters following the murder: that police exposed Alonso to danger by approaching her several times in public, in full view, presumably, of the dealers outside.

“They picked her up three, four times. Everybody saw … they set her up,” one resident of the neigh-borhood told the Daily News.

“Last week, she was taken to the police station — she didn’t want to go,” Alonso’s brother-in-law told the Inquirer.

She was scared in the days before her killing, another neighbor said.

Asked why police would have approached a pos-sible murder witness so visibly, police spokesman Lt. Raymond Evers told CP, “That’s how we do things. We pick up people and interview them.”

Alonso, Evers added, was not in the city’s witness protection program.

One question is: Why not? If police believed Alonso to have been a witness to a murder — as her neighbors seem to have believed — why was she not being protected?

Evers explained that Alonso had volunteered information about the case: “If she was afraid, she wouldn’t have went in” for questioning, he told CP. Yet neighbors say exactly the opposite: that she was afraid, and that she didn’t want to go in. What changed her mind?

In a city where 40 percent of all murders are going unsolved and whose mayor has trumpeted a “start snitching” campaign and offered higher rewards for tips, we now have a case in which residents perceive — right or wrong — that a murder witness was killed in part because she was exposed and left unprotected by police. That fear is a disincentive to speak up that won’t easily be bought away.

money mishandled and few attempts made to actu-ally contact property owners. Reach is largely the reason Tom White is out $10,000.

Reach’s relationship with the office was termi-nated last year, leaving the division and its records in disarray. While many claims for surplus funds were processed, others went nowhere.

White and several other former landowners have filed a class-action lawsuit with Adams Renzi Law against the city and Sheriff ’s Office. Joseph O’Hara, a named plaintiff in the suit, says they’re tired of waiting.

“You look in the paper and see headlines about how the Sheriff found $40 [million], $50 million they didn’t even know about,” he says, referring to $53 million in unaccounted-for surplus funds discovered in the course of the Controller’s audit — funds the Sheriff’s Office triumphantly announced it would be turning over to the city and state in October. “They don’t care. They’ve made a decision to not help people like us,” he says.

Williams would like to bury the case, along with the office’s sordid past.

“We are trying to resolve the class-action lawsuit, that’s the best way to put it,” Williams says, adding he would be “open to a settlement.”

But the resolution of the matter is largely outside Williams’ purview: The case is being handled by the City Solicitor and also involves funds held by the city itself. Both the Solicitor and the Mayor’s office refused to comment on the ongoing litigation.

“Our goal is to make sure that, if people are legiti-mately owed money, that we make sure they get their money,” Williams says, “but it’s really some-thing that’s up to the Solicitor and whatever award or agreement they come up with.”

Though Williams may wish to appear deferential, the stakes are higher than he lets on. While the amounts sought by individuals may be relatively small, the outcome of the case could have far-reach-ing consequences.

State Treasury spokesman Michael Smith, who calls the class action “unprecedented,” explains in an e-mail that the lawsuit could “permit private outside entities to intercept millions of dollars from the Commonwealth for the purpose of reuniting those funds with their owners — at a sizable cost.”

Essentially, the suit alleges the Sheriff violated due process by intentionally failing to notify prop-erty owners that their land had been auctioned, for how much and how their money was disbursed. What complicates the matter is that money that sat “unclaimed” long enough was eventually trans-ferred to the city and state, as mandated by law. The suit seeks to forcibly recover funds that may already have found their way to city and state cof-fers, and return it to potentially thousands of land-owners — with commensurate attorney’s fees and possible damages (i.e. “sizable costs”) that neither the city nor the state wants to pay.

Smith adds that this precedent would effectively “eviscerate Pennsylvania’s unclaimed property law,” allowing lawyers “to step into the shoes of the Treasurer” in order to identify and redistribute unclaimed funds. The city runs similar risks.

Adams recently expanded the suit to include a second class of plaintiffs who were overcharged by the Sheriff’s Office, following a revelation in the Controller’s report that Reach had artificially inflated Sheriff sales’ fees — in effect, shorting people on auction proceeds. This would open the case up, effectively, to just about anyone who had a property auc-tioned under Green.

Williams wants to put the suit behind him; the cash-strapped city and state hope to squash a potential liability. But caught in the middle are Tom White and the rest of Adams’ clients, who likely have a bumpy road ahead to get money that, by all accounts, is rightfully theirs.

Williams says for now he wants to focus on restructuring the office to ensure that this situation can’t happen again. “Our goal

is to establish a claims division within the office, or, if not in the office, at least under my direc-tion,” he says, noting he’s still for-mulating exactly what this would look like.

As the scale and severity of Green’s corruption become fully apparent, some people — most recently Councilman James Kenney — have said revamp-ing is not enough, calling for the dissolution of the Sheriff’s real estate function altogether. Last year, John Kromer, a Penn profes-sor, ran for the office, promising if elected to dissolve the agency and merge its functions with the city.

Williams rebuffs that idea: “The city cannot be the person over[seeing] the tax sale, because there would be a conflict of interest. The independence of the Sheriff’s Office gives us the opportunity to be fair.”

He may have a point, but it rings hollow for those who were wronged, and for the taxpayers who may be stuck with the bill when they get their day in court.

The back-and-forth lasted more than two hours, and Feibush says he watched as Green stole a number of ballots

✚ OFF TO THE RACESIt’s Friday afternoon at Così in Elkins Park, and a steady stream of forty-, fifty- and sixty-somethings are trickling in to collect petitions. A suburban outpost

of a coffeehouse chain is not exactly the war room you might expect for the first candidate to come out of Occupy Philly. But it was good enough fo r Nathan Kleinman, 29, who’s listing his occupation as “human rights activist” on petitions to get on the ballot for Pennsylvania’s 13th Congressional District race.

Kleinman quit his job to focus on Occupy (he never actually slept at Dilworth, in-stead donating his tent to a homeless person), and he’s been involved in some

of the movement’s more radical ef-

forts: creating a “Free University” and moving homeless residents to an en-

campment on a Conrail property. He plans to run his campaign — and his ten-ure, if elected — like an Occupy assembly, with regular meetings open to the public. And he says he learned something impor-tant from the movement: “We can create the systems that should exist in a mod-

ern society but don’t exist in ours.” Still, to take down U.S. Rep. Allyson

Schwartz in a district that sprawls out of Northeast Philly into Montgomery County, Kleinman will likely have to lean on his

more mainstream Democratic net-

work.A former volunteer and delegate for President Obama and assistant to then-Pennsylvania Rep. Josh Shapiro, he appears to have the background for it.

Bobbi Penniman, 60, a Cheltenham resident who met Kleinman while volun-teering for Obama, says she’s “too old

for Occupy”but not too old to gather petitions for Kleinman’s campaign. “We need to get big money out of electoral politics,” she says. Which is one thing most Occupiers would probably agree on.

He preached the gospel of mitigation, but it was really smartly done, because they talked a lot about infrastructure spending, and they talked about poverty reduction. … There were initiatives in the late ’90s, and they were all summarily canceled in the Bush administration. And it’s not because the Bush administration didn’t care about natural hazards — it’s just that they were ideologically opposed to the way that our government is set up to deal with those. That is to say: Do we want a federal agency to be going into local communities and incentivizing them to understand their hazards? If you ask George Bush, his answer is “No, absolutely not.” If you ask Bill Clinton, his answer is “Well, maybe.”

CP: Regardless of the political level, the policy doesn’t always reflect what’s needed, right?SGK: It may not be in a locality’s interest to undertake a huge tax to build a levee system, for example, but at the same time we trust them to make decisions that are best for them. We want to allow local government and local people to make their

decisions, but sometimes those deci-sions impact the people downriver, and that’s a problem.

CP: Could you explain what you posit in the book: That disasters are not external to the environment and politi-cal culture, but that disasters mirror the values of a society.SGK: [There are] the hazards that we countenance in our physical environ-ment — the built environment — and the effects that we allow. If you think that it’s OK to have a 200-story build-ing with no fire escapes, that would be a certain kind of value. That means that it’s a society that celebrates building the tallest building. That’s a simple example, but the World Trade Center was not that different. ... I think that we can read into the built environment a lot about our values in the United States postwar, about land use and about this notion of small government.

CP:And people want to build houses on coastlines. Locally, that can be seen with the condos that were built a few years ago on Manayunk’s Venice Island, which is in a floodplain. In the past two years, they have flooded and have had to be evacuated.SGK: Philly’s a funny environment because within the city — and [in cit-ies like] New York and Boston — these are urban environments that work. They’re ecologically stable, because they’ve been around a long time. When you push out into these areas outside the city, you start to develop and lay a lot of asphalt and mess with the drain-age system, or build high rises in the middle of the Schuylkill River, you’re starting to do things that people never thought of doing before. That presents some really interesting problems. The flooding from [2011’s Hurricane] Irene — if you look at the majority of losses from the flooding, they’re all in sub-urban areas. In general, Philly floods, but it floods in a way that people know about. But when you get out into Bucks

County and Montgomery County and places where people weren’t living 50 years ago, it’s a very different picture. Since World War II, metropolitan growth is so rapid in areas that we have not taken good ecological assessments of. There are reasons for that: We don’t restrict land use.

CP: What did the 1950s civil defense efforts in Philadelphia reveal?SGK:The idea for Philadelphia was that you would have a block warden for every single street, and the block warden’s job would be to make sure that people were prepared for nuclear attacks. That’s sort of a Philly thing to do, right? But it totally, totally failed. Almost zero percent participation. Because Philadelphians didn’t see themselves as happy Cold Warriors. They were members of their union or their church or whatever. It’s a weird sell for the government to say, “You could be incinerated at any moment! And also here are three small steps you can take to prepare yourself for that!” It just doesn’t make sense, and people gener-ally did nothing about it. There was a lot of talk about civil defense, a lot of money spent, but very little action among citi-zens. Philadelphia is a great example.

CP:You begin the book with a scene from the Sept. 11 hearings.SGK: I felt then and still think the wrong lessons were learned from that day. Those were fires that brought down high rises. They were caused by an act of terrorism, but that does not negate the fact that those buildings were experimental and unsafe. … The conversations after Sept. 11 were so fraught around “Why do they hate us?” and all these other things, but there was so little discussion about the haz-ards in our midst. That inspired me to write the book.

[ singer-songwriter ]

THE LONG WAYIt’s about time you listened to Jack McTamney. By Mary Armstrong

“W e call him the late Jack McTamney,” quips his sister Mary Ellen Costa. When the family got together at her place on Christmas, the doors opened at 2 p.m. “We had a pool.

Everybody threw in a buck, betting what time he’d show up. If your time passed, you could toss in another buck and pick another time. We were up to $22 when he finally showed up.”

Jack sniffs. “I don’t know why everybody is so worried about what time I’m arriving.” They should know by now he’ll get there eventually.

That attitude might explain how Jack McTamney has been an active singer-songwriter in the region since the ’80s, and even has a CD of originals, Halfway to NowHere, that’s been out for more than a decade, yet somehow still buzzes just below the radar.

He’s a man of many voices, but there’s always a tinge of high, sweet sadness, even in the finely controlled shrieks. As a kid he was fascinated by the blues and the Who; you’ll hear them in his work. He loves Johnny Cash and Phil Ochs, and you’ll pick up touches of them as well. “Streets of Gold,” a compact rendering of the immigrant experience, is a hope-ful heartbreaker. “Mr. Ford” is a story-song about a worker throwing himself at a four-dollar-a-day factory job, and it’s catchy as hell.

Scan the crowd at a live performance, even when it’s just him and his guitar doing covers in a neighborhood bar like the Shamrock and the people are transfixed.

Port Richmond is the kind of neighborhood where grade school friends still get together three decades after graduation. Jack, a St. Anne’s alum, still lives there, but misses the days before air condi-tioning, when people hung out on the stoop, building community in preference to roasting indoors; when not everybody had a car, so you met at the bus stop. “We played on the railroad. There was a lot of land around, with weeds and trees. I felt like Opie,” he recalls. “I can still hear the trains coupling. It was like nuclear war every night. The only thing louder was my mother screaming.”

The kids would listen before going into the kitchen. “You knew everything was A-OK if she was singing. If she wasn’t, maybe not so

good.” As Jack grew up, he and his mom became great pals. He recalls her being a gifted poet and painter, a soprano who loved to sing all the time. Big sis Mary Ellen — who chipped

in with brother Jerry to buy Jack a real guitar for his 16th birthday — says that Jack got all his talents directly from their mother.

Proximity bred fondness in the McTamney household, which held at its maximum eight people plus a dog, so multiple bunk beds were a must. “We didn’t have much, but we had fun,” says brother Joe, who picked up the record-collecting bug from their dad. The boys would spin The Beatles, The Band and The Lovin’ Spoonful till the LPs looked like cooked bacon.

“Jack was 10 years younger than me. I was maybe [19 or 20], show-ing off, teaching him his first chords. Little did I know he’d soon race past me,” says yet another brother, Fran. “I was the closet Gene Shay

GENTLEMEN OF PHILADELPHIA,there are subtle shifts in your masculinity on display these days. Beefy TonyLuke Jr.can lose 100 pounds and still be a prince of roast pork and a king of sous-vide cheesesteaks. (By the way, did anyone see the Luke tribute during Sunday night’s TNT-televised SAG Awards?)Pep Boyscan sell its auto-parts concerns to a Los Angeles company for a billion bucks while remaining Philly-based and repped by Manny,Moe and Jack. And Holt’s Cigar Company cantake control of its own smoking-lounge destiny, thank you very much. Holt’s, the longtime cigar-smoker paradise at 1522-24 Walnut, previously rented its upstairs space to Mahogany — a cool cigar lounge — to hang its stogie-scented shingle. No more, though. The men behind Holt’s own the building and they’re readying their own cigar-and-liquor-filled lounge in that space, which will close for renovations while Holt’s inspects blueprints. No word yet where Mahogany will relocate. Smoke up. Ever since Bi Jean Ngo and Nicole Blicherchanged their group’s name from Nice People Theatre Company to Theatre Confetti, they’vebeen doing bang-up business: an introductory party at Underground Artsweeks ago with goodies from Brown Betty’s, COOK and Tiffany & Co., as well as Feb. 2’s Martha Undressed soiree at Sofitel’s Chez Colette with Ms. Graham Cracker going unplugged with her ensemble. “We’re bringing more lifestyle and smaller theater into our collec-tion of offerings to audiences,” says Blicher. “We speak to the incorporation of mixed mediums and event productions.” Plus they and the artists they present will be video blogging from each event. In bigger Confetti news, they’ve announced their fall production, Edith Can Shoot Things and Hit Them by A. Rey Pamatmat, dates and locations TBA. South Philly’s premiere plunderphonics producer/MC/bedroom composer Lushlife just signed a deal with Western Vinyl to release his full-length artist joint Plateau Vision in April. The platter will host guest appearances from Ryat,Heems of Das Racist and Styles P . Several weeks ago I wrote about the passing of Philadelphia artist/musicianTim Bowen.I spoke of personal loss, how family and fellow artists whose lives he touched responded to the news of his sudden departure. That loss will never go away even though we’re happy that his ashes will soon be spread throughout his favorite places on the planet. For those who loved his post-Pop aesthetic and for those who missed out, a memorial gallery showing of his voluminous body of work will be on display Sat., Feb. 4, 6 to 9 p.m., at 729 S. Fourth St., with a silent auction ending at 8 p.m. You’ll be happy you came. Ice gets cubed at citypaper.net/criticalmass.

“It was like nuclear war every night.”

[ cotton candy and a shooting range ]

DECLARATION OF WAR[ B- ] JULIETTE AND ROMEO exchange looks, exhausted and thrilled, in the Paris hospital room where they’re holding their newborn baby, Adam. Moments later, they’re home ... and miserable, in a move that typifies the way the film careens between moods. The baby cries incessantly and won’t sleep, and it isn’t even clear to the new parents whether feeding him helps. “He’s not like us,” Romeo (Jérémie Elkaïm, also the film’s co-writer) explains to a doctor. “He’s not walking, he vomits tons for no reason, and he has huge coughing fits.” As he fin-ishes the list of symptoms, the physician suffers her own alarming coughing fit. It’s not funny, exactly, but it is odd — another trait typical of the film. At film’s start, Romeo and Juliette (Valérie Donzelli, the other co-writer and director) meet at a red-lit Paris club and embark on a brief courtship, compressed into a montage of kisses, fountains, cot-ton candy and a shooting range. They learn their son has a brain tumor later, as the beginnings of the Iraq War screen on a TV in the background (hence the title). The crisis brings the young couple’s fami-lies together — Romeo’s adorable mom Claudia (Brigitte Sy) and her wife Alex (Elina Löwensohn, lovely as always, and barely visible here), plus Juliette’s generally forgettable parents — even as everyone has reasons to come apart. Though they have support, doctors are attentive and “government aid” is appar-ently easy to get, Juliette and Romeo lapse into isolation and frustration. They don’t indulge in the sort of drama their American counterparts might (see: Extraordinary Measures), though — they revisit old patterns, partying and dancing. But as the movie returns again and again to montages and expository voiceovers, you feel like you’re missing something in the too-quick passage of time. —Cindy Fuchs

rock/psych

Rhyton’s self-titled release (Thrill Jockey) starts just as you fall facedown in interstel-lar sand, alone and without hope of rescue. Dave Shuford (No Neck Blues Band), Jimy SeiTang (Psychic Ills) and Spencer Herbst (Messages) leave you farther behind as things get progressively more abrasive and experimental. It’s instrumental, yet speaks in tongues when the seething “Dale Odalíski” segues into “Shank Raids.” There are moments of sunny warmth, but days are relatively short on what-ever world this one was laid down on. —Brian Wilensky

pop

Forget the haters. Lana Del Rey is a goddamn American original. Naturally, she’s a magpie, paraphrasing the great poets of the 20th century (Nabokov, Springsteen, Betty Boop) in a languorous, honey-thick alto over luxuriant strings and syrupy trip-hop beats — smart, funny, sexy as apple pie. Born To Die (Interscope) doesn’t diversify her vocabulary much (though she does rap — no joke), but it maps in detail a highly stylized vision of Americana — triangulated somewhere between Hollywood, the ’hood and archetypal Anytown, U.S.A. (imaginary spaces, all). —K. Ross Hoffman

rock/pop

It’s as spare as you dare on Clay Class (DFA), the sophomore effort from U.K. duo Tobin Prinz and Suzi Horn. On 11 nervy, anxious tracks built from staccato bass and guitar, punch-drunk drums and oddball slogan-vocals tiptoeing around each other, Prinzhorn

Dance School craft a worldview as disorienting as it is enthrall-ing, where love is loathing and rhyme schemes don’t quite resolve. “I want you …” they sing almost sweetly on a song of the same name, “… to stab your sweet smile/ drown your laughter/ in a clever … river.” Like that. —Brian Howard

rock/pop

Though you could count Imperial Teen

among the current spate of late-’90s indie recidivism, the Roddy Bottum-led quar-tet’s return transcends mere nostalgia. Feel the Sound (Merge), the band’s first album since ’07, refines Bottum’s yen for complex arrangements integrated with killer hooks. Yes, there’s that classic, clean-channel guitar chugging beneath the rushing “Runaway” and the contemplative “Don’t Know How You Do It,” but the former’s gigantic keyboard swells and four-part harmonies and the latter’s gentle orchestral flourishes combine for a sound and feel that’s timeless and timely. —Brian Howard

BRAVE BOYS

THE CAREERS OF some of America’s greatest musical theater writers have ended with a whim-per. So it’s heartening that composer John Kander and lyricist Fred Ebb’s final work together, The Scottsboro Boys, shows the pair brimming with the mix of tunefulness and raw edge that dazzled audiences in Cabaret. And Philadelphia Theatre Company’s production, essentially a remounting of the Broadway version, is a knockout.

Kander and Ebb did their share of traditional music als, but are best known for the in-your-face revue, à la Chicago. The Scottsboro Boys worksin a similar mode. Based on the true story of nine African-American teenagers wrongly convicted of rape, Kander and Ebb situate their storytelling within the framework of a minstrel show. A top-hatted Interlocutor provides the narrative; Mr. Tambo and Mr. Bones offer comic commentary.

At its best, Scottsboro shocks and entertains in equal measure. “Electric Chair,” in which a kid is teased by a pair of prison guards, leaves the audience in stunned silence. “Southern Days,” a nostalgic hymn to antebellum culture, is both grim and hilarious.

But ironic distance has its limits. The acerbic breeziness of Chicago works because the story is tawdry tabloid stuff. Applying a similar technique to a genuine tragedy is brave but risky, and Scottsboroplays out its hand in the first hour. At the point where we want something deeper, it isn’t there.

Still, it’s hard to imagine a better production. Direc tor Susan Stroman uses minimal scenery but vividly evokes multiple locations. (Jeff Whiting skillfully restages her work here.) Six of the origi-nal Broadway cast members return, but the entire group is first rate. Particular kudos to Ron Holgate as the Interlocutor and J.C. Montgomery as Mr. Bones. As Mr. Tambo and other characters, Forrest McClendon is simply brilliant. A must-see evening of theater. Through Feb. 19, $51-$69, Suzanne Roberts Theatre, 480 S. Broad St., 215-985-0420, philadelphiatheatrecompany.org.

Mind Tricks full-lengths and various EPs he did not produce. Those who frequent hip-hop blogs have read that Stoupe had become distanced and distracted.

“It is what it is,” says Paz. “Stoupe’s think-ing the world is against him, thinking we are against him. There was a slow work rate. Constant complaining. … He’s my brother, and I love him, but until he comes to his senses and understands that we’re not gonna cater to that type of shit anymore, it’s not gonna work.”

Stoupe’s loss of enthusiasm was a wake-up call. “People expect a certain level of quality from us,” says Paz. “That’s not something we take lightly. It’s not a hobby. … To make music, or art in general, with someone who’s lost their passion is counter-productive. I’m not trying to go backwards. I’m trying to evolve. The younger producers [on Violence Begets Violence] brought a fire to the project that’s been missing for a long time. They lit a fire under Jus and I. We felt like we were kids again making this record. It felt like back in the day for us.”

THE FORCEPhilly’s Jedi Mind Tricks begets Violence butaverts self-destruction. By A.D. Amorosi

S ince 1996, incendiary Philly hip-hoppers Jedi Mind Tricks have existed in that dangerous no-man’s land between Public Enemy’s frank consciousness and X Clan’s insistent ire.

Vinnie Paz, Stoupe the Enemy of Mankind (Paz’s longtime produc-er and collaborator, who officially left the group he co-founded last September), DJ Kwestion and Jus Allah (a Camden, N.J., MC who’s been in and out of the fold since 1999) have spoken up about blood, religion and politics with the righteous rage of a Bible Belt preacher.

“I think it’s necessary to wear your heart on your sleeve,” says Paz, who takes pride in his hometown’s hip-hop traditions. (“Pop Art Records. Tuff Crew. Hilltop Hustlers.”) When he says he’ll never, ever leave Philly, it sounds like it could be either a promise or a threat.

Then again, most things could qualify as scare tactics when com-ing from Jedi Mind Tricks. Their albums are smart, blunt take-downs: 2003’s Visions of Gandhi is rap’s version of Woody Allen’s Love and Death,with pissed-off-sounding guest stars like Kool G Rap and a sampled Mike Tyson talking about what it means to be black in America. Servants in Heaven, Kings in Hell, from ’06, is most critical of the Vietnam War (“Uncommon Valor”) and slave labor issues (“Shadow Business”). 2008’s History of Violence took on the reasons we fight, on the streets and abroad.

“I can’t pick a favorite amongst our old stuff. Records are like girl-friends: You always like the one you’re with at the present time the most,” he laughs. Right now, the belle of the Jedi Mind Tricks ball is Violence Begets Violence, released last October, which lets go of

larger issues (for the most part) to focus on personal politics. Paz, who was raised Catholic but converted to Islam in recent

years, gives Christianity a drubbing on “Fuck Ya Life” and through-out the new album. On “When Crows Descend Upon You,” Paz declares he’s no longer part of “God’s colony.” “Everyone is a walking contradiction to some degree,” he says. “There’s a definite line that separates organized religion and spirituality. Do you need a middle-man to have a relationship with God? I don’t know. These are things that I — and I believe a lot of people — think about. So I’m just throwing things out there to plant seeds in people’s minds.”

That’s pretty much been the JMT playbook from the beginning. “We don’t fix what isn’t broken, you know,” laughs Paz. “Jus and I picked a bunch of beats that we loved, and started writing. Making songs. Writing hooks. Kwest was coming up with the scratches. That’s the process. …We just let things take their natural course.”

For Stoupe — Paz’s longtime producer, beatmaker and sonic brother in arms — the natural course meant leaving the group shortly before Violence Begets Violence, the first of the seven Jedi

listener in the neighborhood. I gave Jack his first Phil Ochs record.”

Jack started writing songs in his teens. “I had fantasies of becoming a star, coming back and showing my teachers.” But when he married and the kids came, it became tougher to find time for music while work-ing a day job. “If I stayed in music, kept writing and getting my stuff around as best I could, I’d be OK,” he figured. “I was raising two autistic kids. Nothing happens before its time and nothing happens that shouldn’t.” Perhaps the time is now, as Jack has started putting new song demos on YouTube and getting active on Facebook.

During a break at a recent Twisted Tail gig, guitarist extraordinaire Jim Fogarty, Jack’s longest, steadiest musical part-ner and bandmate in the ToneBenders, describes his friend’s writing gift this way: “You could say, ‘Jack, I need a theme song for Twisted Tail: polka in E flat.’ He’d be back with it in 30 minutes. And it would be good.”

Fogarty continued the thought in a text message a bit later: “Since I met and started working with McTamney in 1984, he’s always been kind of a disorganized, frustrating but inspired songwriting savant. He opens up his guitar case, and 50 sets of lyrics spill out. If you ask him to write a song on demand for a project, the next day he sends you three, all excellent. I’m surprised no one has really discovered and taken advantage of this resource yet. He’d make someone rich.”

DECLARATION OF WAR|B-Read Cindy Fuch’s review on pg. 15. (Ritz at the Bourse)

THE INNKEEPERS|B+A chamber piece in which two desk clerks ride out the last weekend in a mammoth New England hotel, TheInnkeepers is Ti West’s most assured film yet, a slow-burning creeper that pays off in spades. With only a handful of guests and one of the Yankee Pedlar’s floorsalready stripped bare, pixie-cut Claire (Sara Paxton) and hipster goof Luke (Pat Healy) have ample time to play amateur ghost hunter, seeking out the spirit of a suicidal woman whose body was hidden in the basement by the inn’s press-shy owners. It takes a while for even these bare facts to emerge, and longer still before the spirit’s presence is more than a faint whisper on the pair’s sound recorder. But West, unlike most whammy-driven horror filmmakers, isn’t afraid to take his time, building character and mood before pulling back the curtain. As in The House of the Devil,West builds up more than he can pay off. Once they come out from under the bed, the movie’s monsters turn out not to be so scary after all. But

then again, perhaps it’s a good thing the movie slacks off at the end. Otherwise, the audience would be up all night.—Sam Adams (Ritz at the Bourse)

CONTINUING

A SEPARATION|A-Asghar Farhadi’s carefully de vised tale brushes up against scores of pregnant themes, from parental responsibility to the future of Iran, but they’re worked so deftly into the mix that A Separation never devolves into a message movie. The film’s drab style isn’t on par with its substance, but it furthers the sense of a life captured with casual precision, by a camera that’s always in the right place. Although Farhadi never coaxes his cast toward histrionics, the film functions as a highly effective melodrama, accruing a tragic sense of inevitability as it moves toward its melancholy conclusion. His characters are deliberately ordinary, but their stories take on the weight of myth. —S.A. (Ritz Five)

will set her life aright, but her asexu-al innocence is offset by the presence of Janet McTeer’s lusty workman, a fellow cross-dresser who fully embod-ies both masculine and feminine. The film’s tone of unrelieved melancholy wears thin over the distance, and Close can’t keep the character from seeming like a pitiable doormat, but the tears come nonetheless. —S.A. (Ritz Five)

THE GREY|C+Liam Neeson re-teams with his A-Team director Joe Carnahan for this alternately tense and ridiculous action yarn, the latest entry in his transformation into the thinking man’s action hero for non-think-ers. The bigger set pieces are tautly directed, but the harshest struggle in this film is not between the survivors and the elements but between the au-

dience and the interminable stretches of portentous dialogue. Neeson’s incessant reflections on facing death and the absence of God strain toward Bergman with wolf-punching, but feel more like the closing-time ramblings of the local pub philosopher. —ShaunBrady (Pearl, UA Grant, UA Riverview)

MAN ON A LEDGE|DEven an audience full of vertigo suf-ferers would have a hard time finding much to feel edgy about in director Asger Leth’s tepid thriller. Nick Cas-sidy (Sam Worthington) checks into a high-rise Manhattan hotel, orders room service, jots down a note and steps out onto the window ledge. While there wouldn’t be much of a movie if he jumped, any sense of suspense or in-trigue immediately plummets straight to the ground.The whole affair is so formulaic that it doesn’t even stick

by its own title, yanking Worthington back from the ledge and into a run-of-the-mill running and shooting climax. —S.B. (Pearl, UA Grant, UA Riverview)

MISS BALA|BMost of the thrills in this ripped-from-the-headlines story about Laura, a Mexican beauty-pageant hopeful who’s unwillingly embroiled in a dangerous drug cartel operation, stem from director/co-writer Gerardo Naranjo’s fantastic camerawork. Using long, impressive tracking shots, he provides viewers with plenty of atmospheric excitement. Yet even with the vivid and authentic treatment of the topic, Miss Bala feels lukewarm. It’s hard to fully connect with the detached Laura, who is continually placed in harm’s way. But even as she endures multiple horrors, viewers know as much about her at the film’s

end as they did at the beginning. —Gary M. Kramer (Ritz at the Bourse)

THURSDAY

2.2[ rock/pop ]

✚ ASTEROIDSGALAXY TOURSince when do Danes have the right to sound this funky? There’re more than a couple moments on Out of Frequency(BMG Rights), the new sun-burst-in-album-form from these oddly named Copenhagen cool

cats, who give the Dap-Kings a run for their retro-soul money-maker-shakin’. They’ve also got the fizzy suavity of Pizzicato Five and the Day-Glo giddiness of The Go! Team, plus a surpris-ingly versatile blue-eyed-soul si-ren in vocalist Mette Lindberg. Of course, when you boil down all the paisley psychedelics and Technicolor spy-soundtrack spangles, this is pop music, simple and pure. And these are Scandinavians we’re talking about — we probably shouldn’t be too surprised that they can dole out 21st-century space-age bachelor-pad party-pop just as perfect as any other kind.

—K. Ross Hoffman

Thu., Feb. 2, 8:30 p.m., $15, with Vacationer, Union Transfer, 1026 Spring Garden St., 215-232-2100, utphilly.com

[ theater ]

✚ SLAUGHTER-HOUSE-FIVEWest Philly’s Curio Theatre Company has proven adept at

staging what co-founder Jared Reed calls “big idea plays” based on great literature, including Catch-22, Lordof the Flies, The Trial, TheOdyssey, and Reed’s own GreatExpectations adaptation. Kurt Vonnegut’s darkly comic 1969 masterpiece Slaughterhouse-Five is especially challenging, concerning a man experienc-ing all of his life simultaneous-ly, “unstuck in time.” Vonnegut coyly declared that it “has no beginning, no middle, no end, no suspense, no moral, no cause, no effect,” though readers know better. Actor and designer Paul Kuhn promises another dynamic set suggest-ing — concurrently — bombed-out Dresden, an alien planet, and stifling post-war suburbs. Adds Reed: “Anything with aliens named Tralfamadorians should always be brought to the stage.”

—Mark Cofta

Feb. 2-March 3, $15-$20, Curio Theatre Co. at the Calvary Center, 4740 Baltimore Ave., 215-525-1350, curiotheatre.org.

✚ THOMAS FRANK“Now, there is nothing really novel about the idea that free markets are the very essence of freedom,” Thomas Frank writes at the beginning of Pity the Billionaire: The Hard-Times Swindle and the Unlikely Come-back of the Right (Metropolitan Books, Jan. 8). “What is new is the glorification of this idea at the precise moment when free-market theory has proven itself to be a philosophy of ruination and fraud. The revival of the right is as extraordinary as it would be if the public had de-manded dozens of new nuclear power plants in the days after the Three Mile Island disaster; if we had reacted to Watergate by making Richard Nixon a national hero.” Frank details how conservatives regrouped after the 2008 market crash by wrapping themselves in popu-list rhetoric. At the Free Library, he’ll no doubt get into how the Occupy movement began to

take the language back.—Andrew Milner

2.3[ visual art ]

✚ JAMES ULMERHis professional training at UArts notwithstanding, James Ulmer has a splendid, self-taught quality about him. The local artist’s drawings and prints depict imaginative vi-gnettes, full of boats and planes and houses, on materials like notebook paper and cardboard. Though his works are often funny, they also demand to be taken seriously. In the exhibit “Planar Split,” Ulmer shares the walls with Lance Simmons,

whose ink-on-paper works examine the medium “sci-fi folk art.” Dick Neff and Charles Co-hen will join them to play music at the opening reception.

—Holly Otterbein

Opening reception Fri., Feb. 3, 6-10 p.m., free, through Feb. 26, Part Time Studios, 2031 Frankford Ave., 215-948-2242, parttimestudios.com.

✚ GREEN CHAIR DANCEIt takes two to tandem bike ride, but what happens when you add a third wheel? That’s a whole different kind of balancing act, as you’ll see at Green Chair Dance Group’s new evening-length work Tandem Biking and Other Dangerous Pastimes for Two.The piece deals with what it means to be in a rela-tionship with someone and how intimacy and commitment over time leads to intensity. Deep stuff, but Green Chair is known for its spry sense of humor, so it ain’t all heavy. “Some people

✚ STUDIO MAKKINK & BEYThe Netherlands must be so cool. The Dutch design group Studio Makkink & Bey, led by architect Rianne Makkink and designer Jurgen Bey, not only creates stylish, free-graze dairy-barn stalls and “work-landscapes” (seriously, Google it), but has also been known to pressure the government to use its vacant properties for artistic purposes. The exhibit “Soft Vil-lage” features an installation by

the collaborative inspired by the Fabric Workshop and Museum’s collection exploring the worlds of textiles, fashion and industry. The opening reception will include a speech by Bey.

✚ FEDERICOHERREROThe unbelievable story goes like this: In 2000, Costa Rican artist Federico Herrero was 22 years old, and hanging his paintings on trees. Just a year later, he snagged a best young artist award at the Venice Biennale. Herrero, now one of the most popular contemporary artists in Latin America, is bringing his bright-eyed, bushy-tailed ab-

I SAW THE SIGN

The image is iconic: A jubilant Harvey Milk perches on the roof of a car as he leads hundreds of marchers at the 1978 San Francisco Pride Parade. In one hand, he hoists a homemade sign scribbled with the words “I’m From Woodmere N.Y.”

The photo threw Nathan Manske into aha-moment bliss when he saw it for the first time. The Driftwood, Texas-born, Brooklyn-based advertising grad was surprised to learn Milk originated from an obscure part of New York, and he felt that sharing the gay legend’s small-town origins could “send a comfortable message to gay youth that there are people all over the world just like [us].”

In March of 2009, he launched imfromdriftwood.com, a website that allows readers to submit written stories about their gay-life experiences. That summer, with Philly videographer Marquise Lee in tow, he began traveling between New York and Philadelphia to capture some of the tales on film.

Now, nearly 200 videos deep, Manske is compiling footage in his Community Spotlight Initiative, an every-three-months series that focuses on particular groups in the LGBTQ community. The first, highlighting gay African-Americans, premieres in Philly with four 4- to 5-minute screenings featuring locals like The Attic Youth Center’s Shara Dae Howard and HIV advocate Tyrone Smith.

Manske touts the wide range of topics that turn up in the Philadelphia stories — from racial inequality to a jollier tale about being a gay athlete. “We want to put on display the full aspect of our lives,” he says. “It shows the world who we are as a community.” Thu., Feb. 2, 6-9 p.m., $10 suggested donation, William Way Community Center, 1315 Spruce St., 215-732-2220, imfromdriftwood.com.

stracts to the newly-renovated Bridgette Mayer Gallery. His works are playful and childlike, like Paul Klee’s paintings. But it’s his bright colors, which are drawn from tropical plants, ru-ral houses and traffic signs, that are just plain scrumptious.

✚ PRISM QUARTETContemporary Chinese music is a fascinating stew of influ-ences, tempered by the cultur-al whiplashes of the Commu-nist regime, with rich strains of traditional Asian sources, of course, but also powerful avant-garde and even rock and jazz elements. In the right hands, these diverse sources

can cohere into a boldly com-pelling package, and the four composers who have been com-missioned to write new works for the ever-adventuresome Prism Quartet certainly fall into that category. Shanghai-born Bright Sheng is the best known of the group, but Fang Man, Huang Ruo and Lei Liang all write with distinctive style that evades nationalistic preconceptions.

sThe Evening Hour (Blooms-bury, Jan. 17), follows Cole, a West Virginia nursing home aide who deals his patients prescription drugs. Sickels avoids the old Appalachian redneck/trailer trash stereo-types and treats his characters and setting with respect and compassion. “I wanted to set it in a rural part of a country because I’d not read a lot of

contemporary fiction set there. I wanted to show the beauty of the place,” he says. “But I didn’t want to whitewash it, or downplay the reality.” His research, which included watching documentaries and reading articles about moun-taintop removal, provides an authenticity to his work and explains why The Evening Hour is so striking.

✚ THE DARKNESS/FOXY SHAZAMHard to believe it’s been a decade since The Darkness first splashed down, troubling the irony-is-dead waters of the early ’00s with their zebra-print spandex cat suits and polished-chrome riffage — and swiftly nullifying any ques-tions of taste through sheer anthemic bombast (not to mention the sky-high falsetto lunacy of Justin Hawkins’ self-professed “truth larynx”) on power-ballad paragon “Love Is Only a Feeling” and the still-deathless “I Believe in a Thing Called Love.” They’d long since splintered into a pair of pale but worthy spinoffs — Hawkins’ Hot Leg, the other guys’ Stone Gods — but the boys are back together again and ready to rock us. Mean-while, across the pond, Cin-cinnati’s Foxy Shazam have been gunning hard to perfect their own brand of reverently righteous heavy-glam excess;

several promising albums in, their new, all-killer, Hawkins-produced Church of Rock and Roll (I.R.S.) hits it out of the park. Freddie Mercury would be very proud.

to join the conversation. The post-film panel of sustainable-living experts includes UrbanRoots director Mark MacIn-nis, South Philly Food Co-op’s Dan Pohlig and Phil Forsyth, founder of the Philadelphia Orchard Project. Pop in early for a pre-screening of WestPhilly Grown, a doc about Mill Creek Farm.

THE BANK JOBWood fires produce proud pizzas and more at the Schuylkill-side In Riva. By Adam Erace

IN RIVA | 4116 Ridge Ave., 215-438-4848, in-riva.com. Dinner served Sun. and Tue.-Thu., 5-10 p.m.; Fri.-Sat., 5-11 p.m.; brunch served Sat.-Sun., 11:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m.; closed Mon. Salumi, $11-$18; cheese, $14-$19; vasi (brus-chette jars), $9-$12; salads, $10-$12; antipasti, $9-$13; pizza, $13-$19.

F ood writers love labels. This is why we’re always trying to group, classify and define trends 12 months at a time: The Year of Barbecue, The Year of the Cupcake. As lazy and eas-

ily exploitable as this device may be, sometimes themes emerge that even the most righteous among us cannot ignore. Take 2011, The Year of the Dumb Restaurant Name.

Chenango, Llama Tooth, Chicken.Org — what were your owners thinking? Clearly, the same thing as Beyoncé and Jay-Z when they named their daughter Blue Ivy. Falling in with 2011’s oddly named ranks is chef/co-owner Arthur Cavaliere’s In Riva, but unlike its weirdly coined comrades, it makes sense once Cavaliere throws down a little les-son d’Italiano: “It means ‘along the banks.’”

This stylish East Falls pizzeria and antipasti spot does indeed dwell along the banks — the views of the Schuylkill River, a high-way of liquid jade just across Kelly Drive, are expansive out on In

Riva’s patio. Right now, night comes too soon to appreciate them, but once April arrives, al fresco tables will be set, and guests will toast spring with effervescent Frigo cocktails, a delightfully bit-tersweet union of white wine, Campari and orange soda.

The location is prime, and two other restaurants, Verge and Franco’s Trattoria, had respectable runs at this address before closing down, leaving developer/building owner Mark Sherman (he’s a partner in In Riva) with a vacancy. He filled it with Cavaliere, a longtime family friend who’d just returned to Philly from cooking in D.C. and consulting in Michigan. Locally, Cavaliere has been part of the Starr and Garces empires, but he got his start in nearby Manayunk, bussing tables at River City Diner.

Sherman and Cavaliere stripped down Franco’s dining room and furnished its cinder-block skeleton with caged fans, labora-tory barstools, an architectural mural of the nearby Falls Bridge

and other industrial accessories. Crowded together on a wooden platform suspended from the ceiling by brass chains, vintage desk lamps create a dramatic secondhand chandelier above a long feast table con-

structed of salvaged barn doors. The lights’ necks crane over the sides like nosy old geese, eyeing diners passing around spread-filled jars and boards piled with thick toasted bread.

Cavaliere’s menu is designed for sharing, broken into sections of salumi, cheese, antipasti, salads, pizza and “vasi” (jars), the aforementioned build-your-own bruschette. The pepperonata vasi brought ribbons of red, orange and yellow bell peppers packed into a hinge-top container with bits of blue crab. Cavaliere stews

NOW SEATING

Tokio Global | Ryo and Nicole Igarashi are relocating their 2-year-old Japanese street-food shop Maru Global Takoyaki from 10th and Spruce to Headhouse Square. The ball-griddlin’ couple has teamed up with Madame Saito to move their operation into what was her sushi bar, Tokio; fresh fish is still available, but it’ll now be buddied up with Maru’s many-splendored griddled-batter-sphere selec-tions and a new yakitori menu. (Since the space is attached to Saito’s adjacent HeadHouse, they’ll be able to serve beer, too.) Opening tomorrow, the new-look Maru will serve dinner nightly, with lunch Friday to Sunday and legit late-night service. (3:30 a.m.) Fridays and Saturdays. 124-126 Lombard St., 215-922-2515 , maruphilly.com.

Marrakesh Express | Brahim Ighladen sold his West Philly restaurant last spring, but he’s already back in biz with a food truck of the same name. Specializing in shawarma (chicken, beef/lamb, baked fish) and various sides (hummus, baba ganoush, grape leaves), Marrakesh serves Monday to Saturday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the corner of 40th and Locust. halalmarrakesh.com.

Green Olives | The far end of East Passyunk has some new North African blood, too — Green Olives, taking over for Mondial Café, offers shawarma, tagine, kebabs and some decidedly non-Moroccan dishes (Cajun fries!) in a BYO setting. They’re looking into adding hookahs, too. The café’s open daily, 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. Monday to Friday and 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. 1941 E. Passyunk Ave.

LITTLE VITTLES

Ben McNamara,who made a name for himself in the first wave of Philly gastropubbing (most notably at New Wave Café), is the new chef at Old City’s Philadelphia Bar & Restaurant, aka PBR (120Market St.).

CANNED DO: In Riva’s classic margherita pizza

is superior, but don’t sleep on their new-school

pies like the cippolini, with Brussels sprouts,

provolone, pancetta and goat cheese.

MARK STEHLE

the peppers for four hours in a vinegary tomato-fennel marinara, a method that turns them tender and acquies-cent but ultimately fails to develop their innate sweetness.

Minor miscalibrations like this prevent In Riva from reaching its full potential. Slick pork belly arrived over saccharine apricot mostarda. Tender agrodolce pork ribs were tight, but neither agro (sour) nor dolce (sweet). Stiff Greek yogurt swirled with blackberry preserves wasn’t the best dip for zeppole that had all the structure of bubble gum. Lemon curd was slightly more forgiving.

Cavaliere’s condiments and saucing weren’t always suspect, evidenced by the vivacious golden-raisin gre-molata scattered over wintry braised beef cheeks, and there was plenty more to like at In Riva. Glazed with marsala wine, the cheeks also testified to Cavaliere’s masterful handling of meat, an impressive thread connecting the heartier dishes here, from the afore-mentioned ribs and belly (cured with citrus and garlic, confit-ed, pressed, seared and roasted in the oven) to the airy “Mommy’s Meatballs.”

“Saturday morning in my house growing up, my mom would have four pans of meatballs going at a time,” says Cavaliere. “I helped her make meatballs every weekend of my life.” Practice makes perfect. Pork and beef are the ground meats here. Parsley and cheese add flavor. Milk and fresh bread (never crumbs) lend lightness. Veal jus, woodsy with sage, laps at the orbs, rolled and cooked to order, and attendant croutons browned in prosciutto fat.

The meatballs, though praiseworthy, aren’t the main attraction at this riverside rendezvous: That honor belongs to In Riva’s pizzas. Stretched 12 inches, they puff, crisp and blister in two minutes in the oak-burn-ing oven, the centerpiece of the snug open kitchen. Up in the dome, 1100 degrees of heat seethe and hover like captive harpies, radiating the brash angles of the superior margherita’s raw San Marzano tomato sauce, sweetening the cippolini onions on a pie of the same name. The former is classic and the latter is new-school (with Brussels sprouts, sharp provolone, pancetta and chèvre), and I still couldn’t decide which I liked better after devouring three slices of each — though I can still remember the cippolini pie’s spatter of aged balsamic, and how the vinegar’s time-won sweetness and acidity cut bloodlessly through the pie’s considerable fattiness.

I also couldn’t choose which of the mini cannoli I liked best: lemony ricotta, olive-oil-enriched chocolate or pale-green pistachio streaked with nutmeg and cinnamon. I’d love to linger over these diminutive desserts on the patio with an espresso, some good company and a view of the water, but there’ll be plenty of time for that later. While In Riva’s name might denote outdoorsy, it’s a res-taurant suitable for all seasons.

DO YOU LOVE ME?I asked you this before and I want to know the real answer you said that you do but your actions don’t mean shit and the way that you treat me is worst...who does that...who makes excuses over and over about the smallest things...I need you in my life...but if you don’t want to be a part of that...you need to be a man and tell me instead of hiding from the situation. I am tired of trying to deal with things alone. If you love me show me! Because I am not go-ing to do it this time anymore...I am tired of trying to show you something you should already know.

DUMB NEIGHBORYou stupid ass bitch...your fucking doing all this stupid shit at 2 something in the fucking morning...I am really tired of hearing the both of you fighting in the house. If the both you can’t get along why don’t you break the fuck up! I am also tired of hear-ing the both of you fighting for food! Who does that shit? Why did you move over me...I feel cursed.

HIT & RUN DRIVERTo the driver of the silver Mazda on 44th & Spruce..who hit my brother on his bicycle and never stopped-you’re soulless. How do you slam into someone, send them flying into the air, run over their bike, and never even slow down? What kind of person are you? He could have died. He has facial fractures, broken fingers, he got stitches, was bleed-ing profusely and will be in the hospital for several days. Go die in a pit.

HUNGRY FOR YOUR LOVEHow I crave your touch...can’t wait for you to call...I miss you and I being together...it seems like we have went together for a long time but I know we haven’t...you are doing what you want and it only seems right that I do the same thing...I hope you don’t mind if I stay out all day and night and have you up worrying about me! At this point, I am not caring..but I will still remain hungry for your love.

OLD LADYWow I thought when I went to the store on Friday afternoon there wouldn’t be any older people in the store holding up the line. Damn...I thought older people get up early and get out the store. And you up there asking the cashier talking about your dumb-ass money order. The cashier told you that she couldn’t help you and you still kept talking next time they tell you they can’t help you...just shut the fuck up and leave.

PIGGY, PIGGY, PIGGYI can’t believe a grown-ass woman such as you live in a fucking pig’s sty how can you not have a door on your bathroom? And then act like it is nothing. I thought you were 48 but you think you are 21. I thought a woman of your age would listen to the golden oldies not hip-hip. You have really embar-rassed yourself and then you gonna go to sleep on me snoring over the television.

PURE WASTEThinking back to myself when I picked you up I thought that you were worth something...now I see that you arent then you told your wife that I was trying to pick you up and then she came around my house wanting to fight me on the porch! All my neighbors came out wondering what was going

on...I had to defend myself then you wanted to call the police....the police was on my side you stupid fool ...they told me I have the right to defend my property. This will teach you a lesson...keep your business on your side and leave mine alone.

SAYING GOODBYEThis was the worst feeling that I ever had...I couldn’t believe that I had to say goodbye but it was worth it...I think about us together but then I say to myself it had to be done because of the way that you were treating me. It wasn’t fair that you were treat-ing me that way but it was fair that I walked away

from you! I don’t think that you understood what you and I were together. We were magic together. No worries though...I have no hard feelings. I just want you to not contact me anymore and that would make things simpler. Take care.

SEPARATE CHECKS YELPERAny Friday (Sept-June) 3:10 PM: As soon as the school bell rings you and your 10 closest co-worker friends come barreling into happy hour to get your fried food and drink on. You rearrange the furniture to suit your seating pleasure and in the process giggle and apologize when you accidentally send condiments crashing and splattering all over the place. You yell over each other as if you are still standing in front of 30 bored kids. You have no idea

how to order; each of you shouting over the other your staggered modified orders. Everyone MUST HAVE SEPARATE CHECKS! You YELP that your server is slow and miserable. Your server would be much more efficient and sweet as cotton candy if you followed a few simple guidelines that most of the general population in Philly seem to get. 1 Ask your work pals earlier in the day who’s going to happy hour. 2) When the first person arrives to happy hour tell your server how many are in your party and he/she will be more than happy to set up a spot for you. 3) When your server asks you what you want to eat or drink, don’t tell them to come

back in a minute and expect that to really happen. There is a full restaurant and food and drink must be ordered and delivered to all of the other hungry and thirsty customers. Therefore, reality is it may be about 7 mins before a server’s round gets back to you. *Understanding this point should help you to understand that when your beer is at 2-fingers and the server asks if you want another, answer him/her because your server may not be back for another 7 mins and then it may take about 3 mins to order/make/deliver that drink, leaving you on empty for about 10 mins. 4) Use your indoor voice; that’s for everyone in the building’s sake. 5) 10 people...10 SEPARATE CHECKS! REALLY! You are all friends, you each get the same exact thing EVERY WEEK. Bring some cash, some ones, fives and

tens and throw your money down when you leave. Closing out 10 SEPARATE CHECKS, some cash, some credit takes a lot of time in a server’s world and even more time in the world of the hungry and thirsty. 6) Don’t YELP until you have successfully followed these civilized dining guidelines. I am sure that once you do, you will find that you and your server will have a pleasant experience. Thank you and please never come again.

SLUT BITCHYou slept with your mother’s boyfriend then you had the nerve to tell me that you are in love with him...who does that shit...it doesn’t make any sense. I am not understanding the whole concept of you be-ing in love with him! He fucked you yes but that was all and he told you that was all he wanted now you mom is all hurt because of what you did. You need to understand that this isn’t right and you are going to get this shit back one way or another! I hate you....I hope your mom beats you up some kind of way.

SMOKE FREEI am so fucking glad that you took your cloney friends somewhere else to smoke that bullshit...I don’t need it around me...I am no fool and if you want to keep continuing to fuck up your life then you go right ahead and do that shit. I am just not going to be a part of it! Honestly, who do you think that you are? You are nobody to me...and I am now going to make your life a living hell as long as you are under my roof...take a hint and fucking move already...

WHAT IS THE TRUTH?I keep asking you this question but then you give me the dumbest answer about who is what and what is wrong. You cheated on your five year relationship for someone that just doesn’t even care about you. I hate the fact that your husband cries to my husband about your fidelity. You already know what the situation is about that, why can’t you straighten up and fly right. I am so sick of making excuses for you!

WHAT THE?I must say this and I probably will be saying this for awhile...what the fuck is up with you and I...It doesn’t seem like I am in a relationship with you...you don’t tell me anything and I am really tired of it. You come and go as you please...you don’t love me that much and if you do....why can’t you just walk away...try walking away now.

YOU KNOW YOU USED MEI feel like you used me and that is fine because you will never, I mean never, get anything else from me again! That money that you took from me I told you that I earned that money...but you took it anyway...regardless of what I told you that we needed in the house you still took it! I don’t know what to say about this so-called relationship because there is no communication. But you know what...I am going to cheat on you like your child’s mother did...and then I am really not going to care like I don’t right now....sorry but...you deserve every bit of it!
