In a makeshift office space inside the Goldtex construction site at 12th and Wood streets, lead construction manager Al McVicker opens a file cabinet drawer, pulls out a homemade weapon and slaps it on the desk. It’s a flat slab of metal the size of a brick, with seven crooked nails thicker than pencils welded to the base, jutting upward.
“How’s that for your story?” McVicker, 54, says to me, adding that he found the nail bomb stuck in the tire of a delivery truck a week earlier.

Two images from Eraserhood.com are currently on display in this exhibition!
Tucked away near the corner of 50th and Baltimore is the new Seeds Gallery, which promotes artists from right here in West Philly. The gallery is small but spirited, containing work at last Saturday’s grand opening from artists and photographers including Charles Barbin, Bob Bruhin, Russell Brodie, and Jeremy Fahringer.

DEVELOPER Eric Blumenfeld, who said in March he was eyeing the Divine Lorraine Hotel, is making moves to reacquire the once-stately hotel on North Broad Street.
“We’re certainly optimistic that [the owners] will transfer the property to Eric and his company so the building can be redeveloped,” Alan Greenberger, the city’s deputy mayor for economic development, said Friday.
Greenberger said Blumenfeld is about “midstream in the process” of buying the hotel, at Fairmount Avenue.

Looks like our friends at Prohibition Taproom and Cafe Lift are poised to totally own 13th street here in the Eraserhood!
Prohibition Taproom and Cafe Lift owners Michael and Jeniphur Pasquarello are getting ready to open a pizza joint, Bufad, close to their other two restaurants. Michael, who has been on a pizza binge as of late, told Eater that the project is aiming to open in November.
“It’s an American Italian slang term for someone who binges, which is l’abbuffata in Italian, and is here called a bufad,” Pasquarello said. “It’s going in at 1240 Spring Garden Street, where the Yum Yum Chinese restaurant used to be.”
