According to Michael Klein at Philly.com,
The project also is a homecoming for
co-owner Tom Woltjen Sr., who started in 1980 as a sheet metal mechanic
at the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard. In 1998, he and his brother Robert
converted a rowhouse at Westmoreland and Mercer Streets into Mercer
Cafe. His wife, Dina, is a Tacconelli.
