Busts, raid deflate‘Wheels’ bike gang

Biker gang has grown in size since 2005 documentary, filmmaker saysGroup’s mean streak allegedly embodied by leader from Philadelphia

FBI agents seized a large safe during their raid at Wheels of Soul headquarters in West Philadelphia.

During a motorcycle gangmeeting in 2009, James“Animal” Smith told fel-low outlaw members ofWest Philly-based Wheelsof Soul that if “there issomeone out there with-out the Wheel and Wing,you can consider themyour enemy until provendifferently.”

The ruthless tone to thespeech by Smith, aPhiladelphia resident, wasincluded in an indictmentthat ended in federalagents’ raid on the nation-ally notorious biker club’sheadquarters yesterday at61st and Market streetsand coincided with 18

members’ arrests.Smith was the sole

member from Philadelphiaindicted in connectionwith various racketeeringand murder charges stem-ming mostly from violencein St. Louis and Chicago.

Wheels of Soul is not ob-scure in biker circles, butrather a large structuredenterprise of members,with both regional and na-tional hierarchy. Callingthemselves “one per-centers” — a reference tothe claim that 99 percentof motorcyclists are lawabiding citizens — Wheelsis one of the rare multieth-nic clubs, according to a

documentarian whofilmed them a decade ago.

The investigation intoalleged violence, racketeer-ing and drug dealing tooktwo years.

“The significance of to-day’s arrests is not just thefact that these members areconsidered the most violentof the group,” FBI SpecialAgent in Charge Dennis L.Baker said. “Today’s nation-wide takedown has disrupt-ed and dismantled theWheels of Soul MotorcycleOutlaw Gang by targetingthe senior leaders.”

No answersin acidicvandalism

The Karen Brown car-van-dalism saga continued yes-terday as an anonymoustipster wondered how itcould be “politically moti-vated [since] at least 5 oth-er cars along 10th, Mifflin

and McKean that havebeen vandalized as well.”

A police spokeswomansaid data wasn’t readilyavailable. There were, how-ever, two cases of “theft:over $200” from nearby

cars since July 1. Whentold her claims of beingtargeted were questioned,Brown said, “I don’t knowanything about other cars.None on my block havebeen vandalized.” METRO

During the two yearinvestigation, accord-ing to the 40-page in-dictment, Smith wasrevealed to be a manwho demands respect,stating that their clubis a brotherhood that“will bleed for you,[and] we will die foryou.”

This idea of a broth-erhood based in bloodis not somethingSmith takes lightly,warning fellow mem-bers during a meetingin Chicago in 2009that “if I’m in a situa-tion out there and youleave me, you betterhope to God I don’tsurvive.”

In 2007, Mastbaum Voca-tional Technical School as-sistant principal RichardMig liore addressed theSchool Reform Commis-sion about his book“Whose School is It? TheDemocratic Imperative forOur Schools” hoping to of-fer district leaders someconstructive feedback.

From that day forward,the principal of the schoolMary Sandra Dean and oth-er district administratorsmade up false reports

about Migliore, denied himfair hearings and eventual-ly demoted him until heretired in September 2009,according to a complaintfiled in U.S. District Courton June 20.

“He had a distinguished34-year career with theschool district,” said EllisSaul, Migliore’s attorney.

“For those things to happen,and as we said in the com-plaint, they all happened af-ter the introduction of hisbook ... it was surreal.”

According to the com-plaint, Migliore was ha-rassed and repeatedly sub-jected to hostile treatmentby Dean, who once alleged-ly told him “Either youtransfer or I will write somuch paper on you thatyou will lose your job.”

After being denied atransfer and demoted to a

teacher in 2009, Miglioretook what is considered“early retirement,” costinghim $10,000 a year in retire-ment income. The suit isseeking an amount in ex-cess of $500,000.

Among the 10 defen-dants named in the suit isDean and SuperintendentArlene Ackerman. The dis-trict said it is investigatingthe allegations.

Former educatorsues over allegedbook retaliation

Assistant principal at Mastbaum Vocational Schoolin Kensington claims his school district bosses pushed him out for a book he wrote ‘Whose Schoolis It?’ is a critique on American educational leadership

Migliore claims his bosses didn't not take kindly to his book, which he published in 2007.

Life insideMastbaum The complaint accusesDean of showing“irrational hostility”toward Migliore after hefiled a grievance.

“Like with anything,you hear pros and cons.We’ve heard some staffmembers that have hadproblems with her and

other staff members thatthink she’s great,” saidDoug Smart, president ofthe school’s alumni asso-ciation. According to ateacher survey in 2010,when asked if it’s OK todiscuss feelings, worriesand frustrations aboutthe school with the prin-cipal, more than 60 per-cent said they disagree orstrongly disagree.

LITTLE COOKSIN A BIGGERKITCHEN

ROBWONDERLING GREATER PHILADELPHIACHAMBER OF COMMERCE

According to Zagat’s 2011 America’s TopRestaurants, Philadelphia has some of thefinest dining around (though I would argue there are few things better than a Phillycheesesteak with a Yard’s beer.)

Philadelphia’s restaurants are increas-ingly getting a national reputation asthe place to go for fine dining andgood eats. One of the reasons is a newtrend occurring at many locations.

Specialty desserts and baked goods are be-ing prepared by small-time entrepreneursand kitchen cooks who then sell their waresto the big eateries in town. Many of thesechefs just don’t have the room or resourcesto rent space, so they make due as best theycan by cooking from home. The end result isthat our favorite restaurants in town nowhave some of the freshest, best-tasting home-made treats in the world.

As the job market continues to wane, peo-ple are increasingly looking for ways to earna living outside of corporate America. Thesenew foodie entrepreneurs sell everythingfrom homemade chocolates to home brewedbeer, and do it with good success.

In an effort to help these strugglingchefs, new enterprises have popped upthat allow cooks to use space to preparetheir food for a fraction of the cost.These businesses offer a shared use com-

mercial kitchen available for hourly rentalsby caterers, personal chefs, bakers and otherfood professionals. They also host cookingclasses and other food-related events. Nodoubt many family members are pleased tohave their kitchens back.

Another trend in eating is fine dining atfood carts. Once a place where you could grab

a quick sandwich or container of fruit,today’s food carts offer menu items found at the best restaurants in town. Some cartowners cater to a specific clientele and tweet daily locations so fans can find their favorite lunch.

Family-owned businesses and small entrepreneurs make up two-thirds ofPhiladelphia’s employers. They are the back-bone of our economy and an important partof what makes Philadelphia great. At theGreater Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce,some 85 percent of our membership is madeup of small businesses. Our aim is to connectmembers with opportunities to help theirbusiness grow and prosper.

– Rob Wonderling is president and CEO of the Greater Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce.

The Middle East iserupting in flames — and

Tony Blair is the man todouse them Since

resigning as Britain’sprime minister, Blair has

been the internationalcommunity’s envoy in

the Middle East

When Tony Blairwas appointedMiddle East en-voy, it meant

leading the Israeli-Palestin-ian peace process. Thatbrief still applies, but nowhe must tend to democrat-ic transformations and civ-il wars, too. The Quartet —consisting of the U.N., EU,U.S. and Russia — speakson behalf of the interna-tional community.

Blair, the charismaticmodernizer of Britain’sLabour Party, was electedprime minister in 1997.But leading Britainthrough 10 years of wide-ranging reform was a cake-walk compared to TonyBlair’s current job.

Which Middle Eastern countryis your top priority right now?The Israel-Palestine peaceprocess is still my maintask, but I’ll inevitably getinvolved in the situation inthe Middle East as a whole.It’s extraordinary, exhila-rating, but of course it hasalso got real challenges.What’s the main challenge?The big question in any

revolution is not where itbegins but where it ends.The question now is, willthe forces of moderniza-tion use this push todemocracy and take it to aplace where it allows afunctioning democracy todevelop in their respectivecountry, or will various ele-ments, for example, Is-lamists, take the situationin a reactionary direction?The biggest risk in the cur-rent situation is that coun-tries get destabilizedthrough the revolution anddon’t take the right eco-nomic decisions to createjobs and prosperity for peo-ple. Then you end up withthe revolution going in areactionary direction.The Arab Spring is a result ofcitizens’ frustrations withtheir dictators, but the dictators were friends withthe West. Was it a mistake forthe West to be friendly withMiddle Eastern dictators?[Former Egyptian PresidentHosni] Mubarak, for exam-ple, is very different from[Libyan leader Muammar]Gaddafi. But in the case ofeach leader, there’s a rea-

son we were dealing withthem. In the case ofMubarak, he was a force forstability in the Middle East.Thanks to the West’s en-gagement, Gaddafi gave uphis country’s nuclearweapons program andstopped sponsoring inter-national terrorism. Doesthat justify internal repres-sion? No, but it poses us —the West — with a problem,since we’re dealing with therespective leader from theoutside. The reality of poli-tics is that you can’t simplysay, “The only countrieswe’re going to deal with arethe countries that emulate

our political system.” So,you’re always in a situationwhere you’re making diffi-cult compromises. On the other hand, Gaddafiand Mubarak kept their countries stable, as haveHugo Chavez and the Castrobrothers. Is stabilitysometimes better thandemocracy?The most important thingnow is to recognize thefact that the countries thatare dictatorial are often notgoing to remain stable.One of the things we’velearned from the ArabSpring is that even thoughan authoritarian countrylooks stable and sustain-able, it’s going to collapse.

Generally speaking, youcan engage and work withan authoritarian rulerwhile at the same time urg-ing them to make changes.This was a constant refrainI had with the Gaddafiregime. I told them,“You’ve got to change.You’ve chang ed your exter-nal policy; change your in-ternal policy, too.” In theend, they didn’t want to. The sanctions against Iran

haven’t had much impact. Is ittime to engage with Iran?The sanctions do have aneffect. And it’s not thatpeople haven’t tried to en-gage with the Iranian lead-ers to get them to stop do-ing what they’re doing.The objection to what Iranis doing is very simple: It’strying to develop nuclearweapons, which would bevery dangerous and desta-bilize the whole region.What’s the solution?To keep pushing. If youwithdraw sanctions, they’llthink they can do whatev-er they want.Doesn’t Iran have a pointwhen it says it’s being unfairlytargeted, considering that Israel is not being punishedfor its nuclear program?Iran knows what the differ-ence is. Iran developing nu-clear weapons would com-pletely change the balancein the region. If Iran gotnuclear weapons, its neigh-bors would try to do thesame.

Tony Blair: “I read the Bible and the Koran every day.”

Do you regret invading Iraq?

I thought it was better to getrid of [Saddam Hussein] because he was a threat. It’sodd that people say, “Youshouldn’t be dealing withsuch-and-such dictator” andthen criticize you when youget rid of one who was farworse than any of the Arabdictators we talked aboutearlier. ... When I look at Iraqnow, for all the challenges ithas, I don’t think you’d get amajority of Iraqis saying theywant Saddam back.

Jones’ littlemad man?If January Jones’ shoppinghabits are any indication,she’s having a girl. Thevery pregnant “Man Men”star visited L.A. children’sboutique Poppy recently,where she bought somedecidedly girlish babyclothes, according toHollyscoop. Of course,shopping tendencies don’tcount for everything, asJones was spotted lastmonth checking out blue

baby clothes at a Los Ange-les Target, promptingmany to speculate she ishaving a boy.

Kunis needs areality checkMila Kunis doesn’t speakvery highly of herselfwhen it comes to her com-ic chops, despite making aname for herself on “That70s Show.” “It’s hard to befunny in general. I think Ihave a good sense ofhumor, but I’m not, like, ajoke-teller,” she tells GQ.“Believe me, I have no ideawhy anyone hires me.” The“Friends with Benefits”star also admits that she’s

currently single, thanks inlarge part to her workschedule. “I wouldn’t darewish myself upon anybodyat this point in my life! Myshooting schedule iscrazy,” she says.

It’s a boy for JewelJewel and her husband, TyMurray, welcomed a babyboy, Kase Townes Murray,on Monday, the singer con-firms to People magazine.“Ty and I are so pleased towelcome our new babyboy into the world,” Jeweltells the magazine. “Weare overcome with happi-ness.”

“Dancing with the Stars” iscurrently seeking outcelebrity contestants for the13th(!) season of the hitshow (Dina Lohan, MikeTyson, Shaquille O’Neal,“Bachelorette” AshleyHebert, Melissa Gilbert, RegisPhilbin, and Khloe Kardashi-an are among some of thenames being batted around)but Karina Smirnoff hassomeone else in mind: Un-cle Jesse.

“Definitely John Stamos. Ithink he’s got the looks.He’s got the experience ofbeing onstage, doing Broad-way,” Smirnoff toldHollyscoop of her dreampartner. She alsodishes on her friend-ship with previouspartner Ralph Mac-chio: “I think Ralphwas God’s gift to meat the show. We gotto the semifinalsand we haven’t hadone argument.

We’re still really goodfriends, talk every day,” shedishes.

Forget Lohan — what“DWTS” should do is have a“Full House” dance-off! Youknow you’ve always won-dered what Kimmy is up to;plus Jodie Sweeten is practi-cally a pro having been the

host of the esteemed“Pants-Off Dance-Off.”Heck, I’d tune in just to

see if the Olsen twins (allfive feet of them) would

have to be paired upwith a midget part-ner. A midgetwho can dancelike the wind!

Wonder if she’s stepping up to Jesse and the Rippers?

Does the idea of KevinJames starring in a comedyalongside a bunch of talk-ing zoo animals soundridiculous? Maybe a littlecorny? Kevin James himselfwould agree with that.

“I was immediately notinto doing an animalmovie,” he confesses. “Itjust felt so kinda goofy tome to do it, and then I start-ed thinking about it more.If we could make it a greatstory where you didn’t needanimals — they’re just kindof like buddies that couldadd to the film — I startedgetting more and more in-terested in it.”

That’s how the “King ofQueens” star made hispeace with starring in“Zookeeper,” in which heplays an animal lover whofeels he must ditch the jobhe enjoys to impress an exwho is reconsidering him.Once the animals revealthey can talk, they coachJames’ character on how towin his lady back.

The actor is pleased withthe film, but working di-rectly with the live zoo ani-mals was another story.

“The bears were close tous and all I would do wasplan my escape route,” hesays. “Like, ‘I know the cam-eraman’s a smoker. I couldpush him in the way andthen I’ll be back in my trail-er watching “SportsCen-ter.”’ That’s the way I wouldplan it, and it was scary attimes.”

The animals are voicedby some Hollywood jugger-nauts — Adam Sandler,

Cher, Nick Nolte, SylvesterStallone, Judd Apatow andJon Favreau — all of whom,James says, were excitedabout the strength of thefilm’s script.

“They felt like it was agood movie and theyjumped on board, and so itmakes it easier for any char-acter when you know whois playing that part,” he saysabout the process of actingwith their vocal perform-ances in mind.

One thing the star is alsoadamant about was his de-sire to make a family film.

“We just wanted it to bea funny, funny movie foreverybody, where you canfeel comfortable bringingyour kids,” he says. “I’vegone to movies with mykids and I‘m bored out ofmy skull. There’s just nocomedy for adults so I want-ed something where it’scomedy for everybody.”

The ‘King of Queens’ star acts opposite a gorilla and Cher in his latest family comedy ‘We just wantedit to be a funny, funny movie for everybody,’ he says

Say goodbyeto Mr. PotterAs Boyz II Men once sang,“It’s So Hard to Say Good-bye to Yesterday.” That willcertainly be true for thePotterheads of today, whoare about to savor their fi-nal look into the wizardingworld. While this adapta-tion, like the others beforeit, has to sacrifice somechunks of the story in orderto keep the movie at a rea-sonable length, the essen-tial arcs of the plot survive.

This film, like “DeathlyHallows: Part 1,” is muchdarker than the first filmsin both content and style.The cinematography re-flects the mood of the plotusing washed out colors.But the playful elementsthat drew us into the firstbooks still make an appear-ance here and there, keep-ing the grim atmosphere of

the story in check. Those who haven’t read

the books or seen the previ-ous movies had best brushup ahead of time, however.Major characters show upand disappear with littleexplanation given. But thatdoesn’t seem like thewrong choice, as such expo-sition would ruin the mo-mentum. For the averagePotterhead, this lack of con-text is no problem, but less-rabid fans might find them-selves a little lost withoutsome preparation ahead oftime.

Sarah Ferguson, theDuchess of York, haswritten a book, “Find-ing Sarah,” detailing

her “journey to find her-self” a year after she wastaped by a journalist askingfor cash for access to herformer husband, Prince An-drew of the British royalfamily. She starred in adocu-series of the samename for Oprah Winfrey’sOWN network. The duchessdishes with us:

In the last few days, U.K.newspapers have publishedhighly critical articles aboutyou and your book. Do youever get used to it?I’ve had it for more than 20years. I can’t win withthem. It’s not a lot of fun,

but Fergie-baiting sellsnewspapers.Even the U.S. media criticizedsome of the things you did onthe OWN shows.Dr. Phil said I was addictedto approval. He was right,and my journey in the lastyear taught me that. I’mrecovering from the needfor approval. The mediacan say what they like —I’ve learned to live throughit, and anyway the OWNseries gave me friendshipswith Oprah, Dr. Phil andSuze Orman. Diana would have been 50this month. You obviously stillmiss her.Bless her. I’m the only royalex-wife out here. Withouther, I’m the only one havingto do it on my own — with

no support structure. It’svery difficult, because youare alone.Loss is a key theme of thebook. Your mother died in acar accident, your father froma long illness — and they di-vorced when you were young.What would you say if you

could speak to them again?That I love them, that I for-give them, that they havetwo wonderful granddaugh-ters and that I’m a brilliantmum.Do you recognize yourself onthe video where you were setup by the journalist?No. It was a crisis point forme, but I’m almost gratefulbecause it forced me to con-front my problems. Thisbook and the journey I un-dertook are the result.You make constant referencesto how wonderful your ex-husband, Prince Andrew,is. Can you ever be happywithout being with him?He is a wonderful man —my ideal, as I describe himin the book. Who knowswhat may happen? METRO

She’s FergaliciousThe Duchess of York talks to us about her turbulent past and her new

show on Oprah’s OWN network ‘Fergie-baiting sells newspapers’

Q&A

Do you ever wish your

daughters were not

princesses?

Sometimes, yes. They liveunder the spotlight. Butgood can come of it. The hatthat Beatrice wore to theroyal wedding in April (andwhich was widely mocked)sold for $132,000 for UNICEF.

She might have been in themusic business since shewas 5, courtesy of her fa-ther, the late, great produc-er Don Costa. She mightwell be Frank Sinatra’s god-daughter and maybe grewup surrounded by musicicons. But one thing aboutNikka Costa is obvious:With her knock-your-socks-off funked-up soulful voiceand fired-up spirit, this girlwould have made it regard-less of her roots.

The singer has recently

stocked her YouTube chan-nel (Nikka’s Box), with funvideos for her June-re-leased R&B meets electropop EP, “Pro*Whoa!”

For the lovely ballad,“Chase the Thrill,” she re-created the shower scenefrom “Psycho.” She boxeswith members of her bandin the vid for the EP’s titletrack. But what’s thisshoutout titled “Streaking,”where she is stark naked?

“America is so prudish,”Costa says. “There’s a barover my boobs most of thetime. Then there’s onepart where I walk awayand the bar stays thereand I go, ‘Ooh ooh’ and

pull it back across.” What you see then is

blurred flesh. Don’t get herstarted on censorial pow-ers that are OK with awoman being killed, butnot OK with bare boobs.

“They’re OK with a mur-der, of course. They sellbullets at Wal-Mart,” shescoffs. “It truly took aboutfour minutes to film, thenit became a big deal.”

Let us count the wayswe love the topknot:It takes 2.5 seconds tocreate. The style

works with just aboutany outfit, from maxiskirts to cutoffshorts. And (our fa-vorite), the ’doworks better withdirty summer hair.

But there’s a fineline between a fash-ion-forwardtopknot and

gym hair. According to TonyKelley, senior stylist at Cut-ler Salons, it’s all aboutmaking the style look delib-erate. “It has to look likethere was some intent be-

hind it — the knot has tobe really twisted in away that’s beautiful orsomething that it does-n’t look like a ponytail

that’s folded over,” hesays.

Here’s how hedoes it up:

Throw it up and strut!Forget ponytails — a topknot is

your new summer ’do Take itfrom the runway to the sidewalk

It’s all about thetextureDirty hair? No time toblow dry? No problem:“With a few tweaks itcan be a great lookthat works really wellwith natural texture.You don’t have toblow out your hair.The more texture youhave in your hair, themore grease or prod-uct is in there, [thebetter] to just throw itup,” Kelley tells us.

Top tips

1. The higher the knot ison the head the morefashion it will feel.

2. Leave natural textureup on top so it’s not tooslick-looking.

3. Anytime you can hidethe way it’s secured(such as with pins ratherthan a chunky clip), itwill have a more donefeeling.

Debt debate,the second dayRE: “THE RICH GET IT BOTHWAYS!”: The costs of ourfederal debt are stagger-ing. The interest paymentstax productive work to re-ward idle ownership, exac-erbating the disparity be-tween haves and have-nots. Government borrow-ing crowds out private in-vestment. Raise taxes. CutMedicare. Cut the military.Cut Medicaid. Cut SocialSecurity. Raise taxes onboth the rich and the mid-dle class. And don’t stopwhen we get a surplus:Keep going until the debtis paid down. DAN WYLIE-SEARS, VIA E-MAIL

Taxes do not need to beraised if we can makenecessary cuts in our gov-ernment spending. Theonly way to do that is tochange what we thinkthe role of governmentshould be. If you want a“nanny do-gooder” stateto take care of you yourentire life then we willhave perpetual debtcrises until the systemcollapses. For most of hu-man history people havehad to work their entirelives and only recentlyhave many more peoplebeen able to retire early.There is no job on earththat guaranteesretirement. KELLY DONNOE, VIA E-MAIL

It appears there is strongsupport for letting theBush tax cuts expire forpeople making over$250,000, but shockinglylittle support for lettingthem expire for peoplemaking less than thatamount, despite the factthat 80 percent of the ben-efit of the cuts went topeople making less than$250,000. Perhaps this isbecause our wise presi-dent is only going afterthe 20 percent — peoplewho didn’t vote for him.WALTER BRANSON, VIA E-MAIL

After working hard to payMedicare and Social Secu-rity for our retirement,Congress wants to cut our

Whatever your take on theAll-Star Game and therules affecting home-fieldadvantage, one thing iscertain: It’s not changing.

Major League Baseballwould lose too much mon-ey. That’s straight from thecommissioner’s mouth.

“I like the way thegames have been playedsince 2003,” Bud Selig said."This has been good.There’s no question aboutit. Our television partnerscertainly like it.”

Selig, who instituted the“This Time it Counts” cam-paign eight years ago, feelsthe idea of awardinghome-field advantage inthe World Series to theside that wins the All-StarGame is working. Nevermind the fact that the bestteam in baseball — say thePhillies with 57 wins at thebreak — may be left to

play a decisive Game 7 onthe road in the OctoberClassic.

“You can’t wait until theend of the year,” Selig toldreporters. “The SuperBowl, they award them sixyears in advance.” METRO

Selig happy with All-Star format Best record bedamned Teams like it, television partners love it

If it’s not broke,then no need tochange anything

Looking pitcher perfectPhillies aces Cole Hamels and Roy Halladay were allsmiles before last night’s All-Star Game in Phoenix.Halladay started for the NL and threw two scorelessinnings (no walks, one strikeout on 19 total pitches).Hamels, of course, couldn’t pitch due to league rules.

Expectationsrising for US

Americans playing against more than France in today’s Women’s WorldCup semis After a transcendent win, living up to the hype won’t be easy With one stunning crossand one textbook header,the Robbery in Dresdenturned into the Miracle onGrass.

Cliche after cliche hasbeen heaped on the Ameri-cans’ Women’s World Cupquarterfinal against Brazil —all deserved. The PK triumph

touched every chord:hero over villain, fair-ness over corruption,

team over individual.And it turned a little-

known tournament andteam into the talk of thecountry in a matter ofdays.

But now, Hope Solo,Abby Wambach and

Megan Rapinoe face aneven greater foe than the

Brazilians and their refereeally: living up to the hype.

The Americans mustbeat France today to makesure their victory doesn’tring hollow. The WorldCup semifinal is sure togarner the biggest TV audi-

ence for the women’sgame since 1999 — a largepercentage of which prob-ably hasn’t watched a soc-cer match since the 2010men’s World Cup.

They’re going to expectsomething special from

the Americans’ seemingteam of destiny.

That means a victory to-day — and another in thefinal. It’s all or nothingnow for the U.S. Do theyhave it in them?

The U.S. women have the country behind them. But to

make their quarterfinal miracle mean anything, they’re

going to have to bring home the World Cup.

Abby Wambach vs.French defenseBreakdown: Wambach isthe most athletic andphysical scorer in theworld. When she gets agood service into the boxshe is impossible to stop.No one on France’s backline can mark her in the air.Advantage: U.S. Wambach will definitely becounted on for the U.S. Shewas in a long goal-scoringslump coming into theWorld Cup, but she appearsto have finally broken thatstreak.

Queen Village calls it-self “Philadelphia’sfirst neighbor-hood,” and has the

18th-century homes toprove it. Located just southof South Street along theDelaware River, ending atWashington Avenue, thearea has plenty of priceyhomes, well-maintainedparks and an active neigh-

bors association. Bella Vista,which starts at Sixth Streetwhere Queen Village leavesoff and runs up to 11th,shares a similar vibe.

“The neighborhoods aremirror images of each oth-er, it’s just that Queen Vil-lage came up a little soon-er,” says Prudential Fox &Roach realtor Zach Skid-more. “Not that you’d callBella Vista ‘up and coming’— it’s definitely established.But I’m looking forward toseeing what happens therein the next five years.”

Bella Vista has “moreof a commercial/residen-tial mix. That draws a di-versity into the neighbor-

hood,” adds resident CarlaPuppin.

The whole area is fullof older homes waiting tobe rehabbed. In BellaVista especially, youngprofessionals looking tobe close to jobs in CenterCity are buying fixer-up-pers and “putting the fin-ishing touches on,” Skid-more says.

There isn’t much newconstruction, comparedto some of Center City’sother fringe neighbor-hoods; Skidmore esti-mates it’s about 95 per-cent existing homes andonly 5 percent new.

“It’s a little more settledin — not quite as edgy assome of the areas furthersouth or north. It doesn’thave that new feeling likeNorthern Liberties does,”says Michael Hauptman,an architect who’s lived in

The price tagIn bothneighborhoods, Skid-more tells us he’s see-ing two- and three-bedroom homesupwards of 1,000square feet, in goodshape, going foraround the mid-$300,000s to mid-$400,000s, though hedoes stress thatpricing varies widelyfrom property to prop-erty, depending on thehome’s interior condi-tion and location.

Compared to whenHauptman first moved in,the area is much more “up-scale and thriving,” withmore young people com-ing in and putting down

roots. “When my wife andI were living here with lit-tle kids, we felt prettyalone,” he says. “Now, youpractically get run over bystrollers.”
