The Cutest First Day of School Pictures Ever
Yesterday’s timelines were full of great kid photos on their first day of school. I picked out a few of my favorites, ie the ones that showed up in my timeline on Tuesday.
I used to work with Seth at Kohn, Swift. He left law to become a Rabbi, I left law and became a paparazzi 
Patience Carter survived the Orlando shooting this summer. She was an intern at Fox 29 last year, and I met her there.
Happy Made in America. I wasn’t there this year to shoot the best fashions, so I scoured social media to find them. There wasn’t a lot of photos of people, but there was a lot of photos of acts on stage.
And Beyonce with JayZ
And Bill Clinton with fans, including notable Richard Bush, lead singer of my fav 80s band – The A’s
I scoured the internet for about two days, and this is all I came up with. Maybe people didn’t know what the hashtag was, or just didn’t post selfies. I saw a lot of musicians on stage though.
Malia Obama stole the show
Winning
After Jay Electronica invited them on stage
Rahel Solomon, Melony Roy and Brook Thomas all of CBS3 Philly
This year I wasn’t credentialed to shoot the event as there was a huge demand from around the world. I did get offers to shoot it after the initial turn down, but decided to go away instead and Mike was very happy about the vacation. Budwesier also invited me to be their guest, and bring a guest, but Mike was not up for the 8 – 10 hr day he’d have to endure with me cause I like to be there for most of the time (FOMO – LOL). Even though I had a great vacation, and saw things that were on my summer bucket list, I really missed it, the people, all the fun things to see, the music, but most importantly that it happens right here Philly. See you next year, Bud!! (BTW it’s hell living on the Parkway after MIA completes too, it’s actually worse since everyone is back from the shore. Do yourself a favor, do not drive near the Parkway for another week.)
Earlier I mentioned the drink prices, now I noticed they put up the Made In America Menu
I have to say it’s epic. So many choices, and interesting choices, as well as the standard burgers, dogs and fries. Love the titles for the “eateries” too. Banh Voyage – Then they want you to chose your adventure.
There’s also a food/drink court on The Oval
Here are the prices for the drinks. Remember there are water stations for you to fill up your water bottles
for FREE – Also remember Budweiser is picking up your Lyft tab on Saturday and Sunday nights. When you get the ride, or the next morning when you awake, thank them using the HASHTAG #GiveADamn cause they do. Drink responsibly.
Here’s The Made In America Set List Line Up
For the fifth consecutive year, United Way of Greater Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey will benefit from the “Budweiser Made in America” music festival over Labor Day weekend. A portion of the proceeds from the event will support United Way’s work to improve education from cradle to career.
Enjoy the festival! Be sure to visit us in the Cause Village to learn more about our Education initiatives. The Cause Village is on the North Side of the Festival below Eakins Oval.
The Rocky Stage is up
The Liberty Stage is Up – Check out the size of it next to the builders
PHILLY’s OWN EVE has been added to the performers and she’ll be on the Liberty Stage
And now the set times are up
HASHTAGS FOR THE DAY #MadeInAmerica #ThisBudsForYou #MIA #UnitedWay
(cause it’s a charity event and we want people to know that Made in America is raising money for a good cause.)
The Budweiser Boardwalk, a three-story brand footprint, will offer unique touch points for BMIA festival-goers throughout the weekend, including:
o Rock the Vote Voter Registration – any unregistered voters can register on site
o Arm Dye – consumers can dip their arms in vats of red, white and blue paint to show off their patriotic spirit!
o Screen-printing – print DIY tote bags for free
o GIF Photobooth – snap photos in a unique lenticular “bullet cam” photo booth array
I guess you can bring your hula hoop too.
Bring some cash for food and drink.
There are water stations where you can fill your water bottle back up.
There are also Charging Stations for your phones.
Remember there is no re-entry, but there is plenty to do at Made In America
o Boardwalk Games – what says boardwalk more than fun games?!
Don’t for get to visit the Cause Village, and learn about many of the great charity organizations in Philly.
BRING RAIN GEAR JUST IN CASE
SUPER AWESOME OF BUDWEISER
To ensure folks get home safely, Budweiser is offering all BMIA festival attendees free Lyft codes.
On your way home thank Budweiser by using the hashtag #GiveADamn – Cause they do!!
And when you leave, please be considerate to the neighborhood and don’t yell and scream, some people might actually be asleep. Also if you want pizza, my favorite spot is Luigi’s at 24th and Fairmount and he usually stays open til midnight.
There’s also a few bars on Fairmount Ave, which is North of the Parkway. There’s Bishop’s Collar, 24th and Fairmount, The London Grille at 23rd and Fairmount and Urban Saloon on Fairmount between 22nd and 23rd.

Have a great time, I will be looking for the best dressed and most fun shots on Social Media and will feature them here next week on PhillyChitChat.
Thanks to the City of Philly, Budweiser and ESM Productions for invites this year, but I graciously declined.
I’m off to see the Allentown Fair and hike the Appalachian trail.
Good Thursday morning, and the first day of SEPTEMBER. Say what? AND IT”S RAINING. Well let’s enjoy a little gossip and tidbits from around Philadelphia.
Last night before tonight’s big game, Ryan Fitzpatrick, QB for the Jets stopped by Del Frisco’s for dinner. On his way in he stopped to take a photo with Andy Farrell’s (Managing Partner- City Tap House) son.
Yesterday the Flyers revealed their 2016/17 uniforms to the City, adding gold to the orange and black shirts, as the Flyers team celebrates their 50th Anniversary. GET IT: Gold is the suggested gift to give to people celebrating their 50th Wedding Anniversary Gift. Flyers captain Claude Giroux models a new Flyers jersey commemorating the team’s 50th anniversary at One Liberty Observation Deck. The letter C, his number and a commentator patch on his shoulder are all gold. With him is Evan Evans, the GM of One Liberty Observation Deck, which is located at 1650 Market Street, Liberty One Building.
Also new in Philadelphia, the Mormon Temple. Yesterday life style blogger Taza, drove down from NYC to visit the marble wonder. There’s only a few more days left where you can tour the Temple yourself, cause once they have their blessing ceremony it’ll only be open for members of the Church of Latter Day Saints. It’s pretty marvelous. Did you know they don’t really worship in the Temple, it’s more like a community center for teachings, blessings of weddings and baptisms. Across the street from the Temple is their chapel. Next week I have a fun blog post about the Mormon Temple campus.
Speaking of Temples, I noticed that the Art Museum has started the construction on the new addition, which will be built underground.
This is the one where they are planning to cut out the “Rocky Steps” so the cavernous new rooms will have a view of the City.
(side view)
Plus they are putting a glass dome on top of where the fountain currently is located at the top of the steps.
Making a Classic Modern: Frank Gehry’s Master Plan for the Philadelphia Museum of Art
Last night the Hooters performed “Take Me Out To The Ball Park.”
WINNING – Congrats to Soul Philadelphia and my bud Cosmo DeNicola.
Spotted yesterday at Anthony’s Coffee Shop on 9th Street…two of Philly’s Finest artists:
Mosaic Master Isaiah Zagar and
Muralist David Guinn.David just finished a gorgeous mural at Graduate Charlottesville, University of Virginia Hotel which was dedicated in August. The above photo is a mural done on the Moore College of Art campus in Philly. (source google images for the two mural photos)
I see you back there Geno Vento, at Rim Cafe 1172 S 9th St. In the foreground is owner Rene jamin on the drums with Tony Luke. Tony Luke just wrapped The Life and Death of John Gotti with John Travolta and Kelly Preston. The film is co-produced by Gotti’s son.
WOW
Happy Birthday Gabbi
Happy Belated Birthday Marisa Magnatta. I was supposed to meet the gang out last Thursday to celebrate, but I had had two jobs that day, and was wiped out. Sad face failure.
Happy Birthday to one of Philly’s favs Sheinelle Jones
Happy Birthday to Joan Bang, one of the Mainline’s best society photographers, who retired this year. Then took a road tour with her husband, to nearly every state including Alaska this past summer. So jealous.
Mainline Maven PR beauty Kristy Sevag, celebrates her birthday this week too.
Gina Gannon will be filling in on PHL17 Monday morning giving us some weather love.
TONIGHT is NIGHT MARKET I95 at FRONT AND SNYDER. Sounds Dry.

Call Her Miss Ralph
Last Saturday night, the original Dream Girl – Sheryl Lee Ralph Hughes brought her long running HIV/AIDS Charity concert to the Dell Music Center in Fairmount Park.
The concert was a huge success raising awareness, and money for services in and around Philadelphia as well as to her on charitable organization100% of the proceeds from DIVAS Simply Singing! supports The DIVA Foundation’s awareness and prevention programs. ( D.I.V.A. [Divinely Inspired Victoriously Anointed] foundation.)
Flawless in style and fashion, Miss Ralph changed at least 6 times throughout the night.
Sen Vincent Hughes his wife Sheryl Lee Ralph and her kids Coco and Etienne, who was the co-host of the concert. The Hughes spoke about healing the community, and renewing the country’s spirit in these troubled times.
and she looked flawless
And she’d better, check out her Glam Squad. It’s a serious bunch.
Other fabulous entertainers on the bill included Full Force
Paul Anthony (l) let us know that they were 2 years out since the anniversary of the bone marrow stem cell transplant that his brother Bowlegged Lou of Full Force (r) donated to him as he suffered for cancer. Complete respect that these two were able to command the stage and entertain us after the ordeal they’ve been in. What a great gift Lou has given his brother as well.
It was called DIVAS Simply Singing after all, and Avery Sunshine let it be known she was not happy that someone in the band was late. She slayed them on the stage, to the point where she got the crowd to chant “Be on Time.” Seems she got there on time, after a hellish journey with delays, but someone wasn’t ready and they didn’t have time to rehearse, so she didn’t rehearse. She was flawless, and the tirade was unnecessary, I felt.
Spoken word
Jean Carne, sexy and nearly seventy. She had all the moves, and was very fun.
Tweet
Then there was Keke Wyatt, who didn’t even need to say anything and the boys all went crazy. I was amazed at how incredible she looked after having her 8th kid last year, which she kept reminding us.

Happy Monday Morning. I had a busy last weekend in August. I was a guest at Golden Nugget on Friday night to photograph Kathie Lee Gifford, who had an appearance that their International Wine Festival. Then headed back to Philly to see Air Supply at Sugarhouse Casino. Both casinos were lucky for me as I played my favorite Willie Wonka slot machine. Back home this is what was happening…
Philly’s born and bred Rahel Solomon, CBS3 Philly, was filling in on the anchor desk for a vacationing Natasha Brown. On Saturday she was at Salon Vanity for a blow out.
Former Fox 29’s Kacie McDonnell was also spotted at Salon Vanity getting her hair done over the weekend. Philly.com just wrote last week: Kacie McDonnell joins New England sports channel
Another Philly born and bred gal was sitting in the anchor seat over the weekend, Kristen Welker, NBC news, who was filling in for the vacationing Lestor Holt.
These fill -ins are great job try outs too.
Speaking of Philly newswomen, former NBC10 weather women Brittney Shipp has written a children’s book called
“The Meteorologist in Me”. Pre Order your copy HERE
No one was All of Out Love on Saturday night, as Air Supply stopped by Sugarhouse, as they tour America this summer. Sugarhouse has recently completed and opened a free parking garage, as well as an event space. I’ve covered several events there already and was wondering how it would transform into a concert venue. Very nicely, very intimately, great sound. Seated the space holds 450 people. Towards the end of the concert guests were dancing in the aisle. I’ve always loved Air Supply, and didn’t realize at the time of the popularity that they were/are really a rock band as much as an easy listening group.
Graham Russell and Russell Hitchcock of Air Supply still have amazing voices despite passing their 41st year as a band.
They sing some of the most memorable songs, mostly about love and devotion. It was great.
Aaron Mclain shreds ferociously on guitar, as Russell Hitchcock sings
No doubt a lot of babies were conceived during Air Supply songs, here’s a few of the babies born in our area this past week. Chef Evan Turney celebrated the birth of his son last week, and his new eatery Butcher Bar opens later this week. Wife and mother Carla Montalvo is ecstatic as well.
Congrats to Jason and Marlo Dilk’s of Slice and “P’unk Burger” fame.
Love these two

Cannoli Cake at Ralph’s Italian Restaurant. AMAZING!! The lasagna was good too, but not as good as you know my favorite – D’Angelo’s. Which is even better than my Italian grandmothers, sorry mom.
9th Annual Taste of the Quarter at the Tropicana
Atlantic City’s Tropicana Casino welcomed food fans and their families to the 9th Annual Taste of the Quarter event from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Monday, August 22, 2016. Over twenty restaurants, bars and eateries teamed up for this signature event benefiting United Way of Greater Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey in Atlantic County. Enjoy a lively festival atmosphere and a tempting international menu. 
The Taste Of The Quarter event had nearly 900 attendees, and raised over $23,000 for the United Way

It was the first time I ever stayed at the Tropicana. The rooms were really nice. We stayed in the newly renovated Havana Tower. You know how I like having a lounge chair in the room, well the Tropicana does. The shower is heaven as well, and the most of the rooms have great views of Atlantic City and the ocean. Check out is at 11AM and Check in is at 4PM. The casino is huge, I recommend you grab a map, you’ll need it. I barely found all the eateries. I did have amazing luck at the slot machines, especially my favorite Willie Wonka. Parking is great, and easy. Park in the garage closest to the eateries. I found it easier to get to. I forgot to sign up for the gaming card, which was a bad deal for me cause I gambled without one, and then I had to pay for parking, which was $10. There’s a discount if you have the card. I’d go back. Mike even liked it. They have good deals for Sunday to Thursday stays too.
