Frank Funaro, who runs a nightclub and a real estate business on South Street in Philadelphia, was robbed of $40,000 yesterday morning at his home in Washington Township, New Jersey. A gunman, apparently deliberately targeting the family, was hiding in the backseat of the car when Funaro's wife went out to drive her son to school. He forced the two back into the house and demanded money. Police received a 911 hang-up call from the home and responded, but the family told them everything was all right because at that point the robber was still hiding in the closet. Minutes after the officers left, the gunman fled in a blue minivan, and police received another call. When they returned they found the family upset, but otherwise unharmed. Call Washington Township police at 856-589-0330 if you have any information.
We already knew that Pennsylvania's homes for the elderly and disabled were in pretty bad shape, but now it turns out that due to an inspection backlog at the Department of Public Welfare, 73 percent of them are operating with expired licenses.
Head to South Philly for a great deal on gas tomorrow evening. The owner of the Sunoco station at 19th and Oregon, Dave Lalli, is getting out of the business after 23 years, and will be selling gas for $1.49 a gallon from 5PM until he runs out. The gas will come with a message; Lalli is leaving the business due to frustration with the industry's pollution and unfair pricing, and will be handing out information to all motorists who stop by about what we can do as a community about such things. Police will also be on hand to keep order, just in case.

This Sunday, a music legend comes to the World Cafe Live. And he's not just coming to play. Bob Mould (MySpace) will take part in a special Q&A session before performing an intimate acoustic set. Then he'll step aside for a screening of his first concert DVD, Circle of Friends. If that doesn't sound cool, there's something wrong with you. Bob Mould is, of course, the mastermind behind punk/college rock band Hüsker Dü and...

To get the sauce to cheese ratio harmoniously balanced, the spiciness of the sauce flawless, the dough consistency just so , never mind any type of toppings it’s a wonder the industry makes 32 billion a year. Two Red Boots, a knock off of the East Village-based pizzeria combining New Orleans and Italian type fare, happens to be a great slice. There are sauce options (mild, house, calabria or marinara)to please every palate, a whimsical array of toppings (andouille, tasso, barbecue shrimp and Creole chicken in addition to all the staples) and the delicious cornmeal crust lends itself to a chewy, crunchy and satisfying texture . Located on 21st and Chestnut, they are open seven days a week 11:00 AM until 10 PM – until midnight on Friday and Saturday -- and they deliver (in more ways than one).
