Lots of responses on the WED night parking. Seems that is in fact free.
For those in center city area, there is a new Fresh Grocer at 1501 N Broad (near Temple).
I tried to get a nice meal on Friday night without a reservation. No place in Rittenhouse could take my table for hours. Not sure if it is always that crowded or because it was Restaurant Week. Was disappointed about not getting in my meal but pleased places were doing good business.
With the success of NJ’s new medicine laws, there seems be some momentum to get PA in to the mix: www.phillynorml.org
And to baseball fans: Did you know the player does NOT get to choose what uniform he goes in to the Hall of Fame with?
And lastly, for those that qualify for the $8,000 Federal Tax credit for buying a new home, there is still time…. – Mark

13) DOCUMENTARY: Keeping The Peace
In 2004, the world watched in horror as 26-year-old Philadelphia native Nicholas Berg—who’d gone to Iraq as a telecommunications contractor—was beheaded by Islamic militants in a chilling video. (The CIA said the infamous Abu Musab al-Zarqawi himself committed the deed). In the aftermath his father, Michael Berg—a pacifist and longtime anti-war activist—ramped up his efforts against the Iraq war and stirred up controversy by blaming his son’s murder on President George W. Bush more so than Iraqi insurgents, and saying he was “saddened” by al-Zarqawi’s eventual death in a U.S. military airstrike, insisting it would “perpetuate this endless cycle of revenge.” In 2006, Berg moved to Delaware and made an unsuccessful bid for Congress as a Green Party candidate, running mainly on an anti-war platform. It’s all documented in a new 89-minute film, Keeping the Peace, which will be screened tonight with co-directors JJ Garvine and Tai Parquet on hand for a Q&A. M.A.G. Mon., Feb. 1
8:30pm. $5.75-$9.50. Bryn Mawr Film Institute, 824 W. Lancaster Ave. 610.527.9898. brynmawrfilm.org
