Geno's Steaks was started by Joe Vento back in 1966. He figured that if he was going to sell a steak, he had to be where they were already eating them....at the "X" shaped intersection of 9th & Passyunk in South Philadelphia. Joe learned the cheese steak business from his father who in the early 1940's opened "Jim's Steaks". In 1966, Joe started "Geno's" with $6.00 in his pocket, 2 boxes of steaks and some hot dogs. His competitors all gave him six months to succeed and Joe laughed at them. As a twist of fate, there was already a Joe's Steak Place and Joe had to come up with a new name. He noticed a broken door in the back of his store on which a neighborhood boy by the name of "GINO" had painted his name. Joe liked the name but at that time, there was a food chain by that name and he did not want to confuse his business with that chain. So, he simply changed the "I" to "E" and decided to name his store GENO'S. In 1971, when their son was born, Joe and his wife Eileen decided to name him after their business. His son Geno works along with his father in a managerial capacity as well as handling many of the "behind the scene" tasks helping to make the business such a success. Since those days, Geno's has offered the best of cheese steaks. The ingredients are simple, exacting and never greasy thinly sliced rib-eye steak, melted cheese, oven-fresh baked bread and delicately grilled onions. Awaiting your piping hot sandwich on the counter outside are ketchup, mustard, relish and Joe's choice hot sauce.

The year was 1953 and there was a new part of the Fancy Division that was waiting to make their mark on the Philadelphia Mummers Parade. That was the organizing of the Avenuer’s Fancy Club. Starting out in a small garage they debut “Mr. Sandman” in 1955, which was presented by their first Captain Frank Purvenas. They had no idea what they were about to start or even be a part of. As years went on the Avenuer’s Fancy Club started to gain strength due to and increasing membership and a new location was necessary. In 1957 a move was made to 1226 E. Moyamensing Avenue, where the neighbors referred to them as the “Club on the Avenue.” Eventually the membership became greater and a new clubhouse was needed so they made their way to 1223 S. 2nd Street which became their new home til this day. A significant and monumental move was made by the Avenuer’s Fancy club when in 1979 they became a part of what is now known as the Fancy Brigade Association. Today, the Avenuer’s are the 3rd oldest Fancy Brigade in the Association. As the years rolled by, there were many good times and hardships in the Avenuer’s Organization but because of strong leadership the Avenuer’s “GLOVES, TOP HAT AND CANE” banner continues to fly high.

Santucci's Original Square Pizza was founded by the late Joseph and Philomena Santucci. Their incredible story began on 10th and Carpenter in South Philadelphia. In 1959, they moved to Northeast Philadelphia and opened the very first Santucci's Original Square Pizza on "O" Street in Juniata Park. Their dream was to build a strong family business they could eventually leave to their children. Their son, Frank Santucci took over the family business and has maintained the name and the quality of the pizza for the past thirty six years. My grandmother always dreamed of a Santucci's Pizza in the neighborhood where she was raised and started her family. I love my grandmother more than words can say, so Grand-mom, I hope you're watching, this one is for you. Alicia Santucci (Grand-daughter of founders, Joe and Philomena Santucci)
