Italian Village, Our Return

We went to Italian Village, yesterday, for the first time since they were featured on Restaurant Impossible.

We didn’t know the restaurant at 902 MacDade Blvd, Milmont Park, Pa. before the Robert Irvine makeover, but we liked it before they got their national fame and we still do.
All praised the roasted peppers placed before us gratis and all regretted them not being filled. The shrimp lejon appetizer was tasty but could have used a couple of more shrimp. The meal came with a soup or salad and both were found to be satisfactory.
The main courses — shrimp scampi, baked pork canneloni and lasagna — were more than filling. The scampi was adequate, the canneloni was good and the lasagna was superb.
Maybe the menu could be larger.
That was a joke.
The menu could be found at their website. We didn’t feel it was overpriced.
Our waitress was nice. The atmosphere was comfortable and friendly, and the dining room was pleasant and spotless.
One down note — William Sr. who raved about his manhattan cocktail last time, was disappointed in it this time.
All the same, Italian Village remains a fine and fun neighborhood place.

Christmas Lights

Seen on the internet: Obama supporters are like Christmas lights. They hang together, half don’t work, and the ones that do aren’t that bright.

Industry And Evolution

Once upon a time, RCA made TVs across the river in Camden, N.J. 

RCA had the best technology in the world. It had many patents and was innovative. It’s factory was modern and busy and the workers made good wages.
In 1952, it began licensing its television patents to Sharp, a Japanese company. Sharp began making televisions. It, and other Japanese companies, were soon making just about all the televisions and Sharp and a modern, busy factory in the city of Yaita where the workers made good wages. 
Camden died.
Now, Sharp is hurting and licensing its patents to Foxconn in Zhengzhou, China. Foxconn and Zhengzhou are booming and Yaita is dying.
One doubts that Yaita will ever reach the point of Camden though.

Heather Briggs, 43, of Philadelphia, was held in abstentia for a Nov. 1 arraignment in Common Pleas Court on the charges of identity theft and forgery by by Magisterial District Judge Dave Lang. The charges stem from an incident 2:40p.m., June 19, at Broomall Rehab and Nursing Home, 50 N. Malin Road.

Sometime in June, the Nursing Home checked the registration she provided and found it was registered to another woman.

Marple Police checked with the Pennsylvania Department of Health and confirmed the registration number was assigned to another person and a different Social Security number than Ms. Briggs. It was determined that Ms. Briggs was never enrolled in the PA Nurse Aide Registry.

Is Obama Disenfranchising The Military?

President Obama signed the Military and Overseas Voter Empowerment Act into law in 2009. Since then, however, his administration has reportedly not set up half of the installation voting assistance office as required by the law.

What’s up with that? Is he afraid they might have to show ID or something?
