The site of the Broad Street Diner in South Philadelphia is slated to become a five-story, mixed-use building with 29 apartments and a ground-floor restaurant. It's not yet clear whether the restaurant will be a revamped version of the Broad Street Diner. A demolition permit was issued over the summer for the diner near the intersection of Broad and Ellsworth streets.
philadelphia. there was a casting call, as the oregon diner in south philly and on that call sheet for actors they said, quote, going for a hicky, blue-collar look. these characters are from west virginia, so think coal miner/trucker looks. there was more. jonathan martin is senior political reporter for politico. well, jonathan, this could not have backfired worse for republicans. right. yeah. this was produced by jamestown associates. right. it s a republican strategy for them. they claim, the republicans claim that they subcontracted this when they did this acting call sheet, so the actual production. but you know, how did this mess up, the ad we should point out has now been pulled down? right. you probably could not think of a worse state, andrea, for this controversy to happen in. a state that obviously is very sensitive to its image, and governor manchin has jumped on this today. and you know, trying to make political hey out of this for all the obvious reasons.
