Laurel Nakadate
2010, 88 minThe Wolf Knife is a modern exploration on female friendship, adolescence, and teenage sexuality. The story follows two sixteen year old girls living in Hollywood Florida who impulsively leave home on a road trip where their friendship is urgently tested by their changing lives. The film is a meditation on discomfort, beauty, and desire surrounding the young feminine experience. The film was pre-scripted and shot on a 3,000 dollar budget on the road; sets, locations, and the unique interactions with the landscape were all improvised while being shot in only 10 days.

The Philadelphia Chinatown Development Corporation says it will pull building permits and begin construction on the Eastern Tower, a 23-story mixed-use apartment complex and community center at 10th and Vine streets, in the next six to nine months. The group held a meeting Tuesday night at the Chinese Christian Church & Center one block west of the site of the proposed project to update Chinatown residents on the progress of the development.

Just a block away from this slowly moving demolition, some long-vacant land is about to be transformed into a new apartment building. ADJ Property Investment LLC purchased the northwest corner of 11th & Lemon back in 2012 for $180K. Not a bad price at all, considering the lot covers about 3,000 sqft. This lot is situated next door to two homes that were built back in 2011, around the same time that a couple of homes were also built on Wallace Street, immediately to the north. The project, currently a giant hole, will bring a large building to a street that’s been crying out for more development.
