BoneDaddys Tattoos
Nate Cook, Jay Cunliffe and their group of talented artists have put their art school skills to profitable work in this day and age of “ink acceptability.” Jay got his education at the Hussian School of Art completing the Graphic Design Program in 2002. “I seemed to always know that I wanted something different, and I really gravitated to tattoo art,” said Cunliffe. “All the guys here were art students, and like me they wanted to apply their training to something imaginative and personal. What could be more personal than placing you art on a person for a lifetime.”
Since their opening, the parlor has become one of the go-to-shops in area. According to the Inquirer
article, “In an effort to best serve the Union’s tattoo needs, Bonedaddys’ Tattoo will have Dan Czar serve as a special guest as the shop becomes the Union’s Chief Tattoo Officer. Czar, who was also one of the five finalists, came together with Bonedaddys in a display of collaboration and love for the Union and tattoos.”
BoneDaddys was selected from 135 entrees in and around Delaware County. Philadelphia Union defender Richie Marquez, said, “The shop is amazing, it's an exciting moment.Their
portfolios were phenomenal. When the best stand out, you can tell the difference.
Union defender Richie Marquez got a religious themed tattoo at the inaugural tattooing event on August 21. |

Val Shively's R&B Records
Val with Johnny Maestro, lead singer of The Crests and Brooklyn Bridge |
Val can be downright unfriendly to strangers, and from what we hear, harder to get an audience with than the Pope. But if you "know your stuff" and can tolerate, the mess and the blasphemies, R&B is worth a visit. You won't be welcome, but that's part of the charm. Maybe you can just walk by on your way from the H-Mart and peer through the dirty window. It will be well worth the visit!

They offer all you can eat pizza and daily specials. Pinocchio’s is a family restaurant so children are always welcome! They can watch the pizza makers toss dough while they wait for their order and play with their very own dough ball.

K&G Speed Shop
Whatever happened to all the old speed shops in the Delaware County? With the closing of the Harry Tillman Speed Shop in Aston, the only one we know of us K&G in Havertown, located just behind the Nicholas Smith Toy and Train Store.
For more than 50 years, K&G has been the shop for "motor heads" in and out of the County. The staff is knowledgeable, friendly and helpful, and still has much of the atmosphere of days gone by.
By the way, we came across this 2009 obituary on Delaware County racing and speed shop legend Steve Kanuika:
It began early. At 17 years of age Steve and his brother opened a small shop in the basement of their folks home, a small Pennsylvania cattle ranch. Street racing was big at the time; real American Graffiti-type stuff. Steve did the work on the cars and engines he had that magic touch -- as older brother Bill talked up the business. Steve would build the motor in the basement, then use his dads tractor to hoist it out and into the customers car. One of his early efforts was to hop up friend Buddy Corletos Buick Century it was fast, and word of mouth brought customers.
His first dragstrip race car was a 54 Chevy p/u truck running a 283-inch mouse motor also their daily driver parts truck. It proceeded to set the D/Gas record in Vineland, N.J., Langhorne Speedway, York, and Lancaster, where Bill Jenkins was the tech inspector. Other Kanuika cars included a B/Dragster powered by a 327 Chevy with a 4-71 GMC blower (in a Lynnwood Welding frame), a C/Gas Henry J, and the most famous, his C/Gas Willys pickup with a 301-inch injected mouse motor. It set the record at 10.80, 127mph and even made the cover of Drag Times.
In the early 60s, business was getting to be too much, so Mom finally threw em out of the driveway. Steve immediately opened his first shop in Upper Darby, named Kanuika Bros. Automotive (in an old gas station). Steves talents continued to earn him a dedicated following in drag racing circles, and his business boomed - at one time he was operating four Steve Kanuika Speed Shops! Then came the "Jungle Jim" sponsorship, and the shop in Concordville, Pa. (with six employees) became the place where you could find the two "Jungle Jim" Chevy II Novas; it wasnt far from Jungles pad in West Chester. Those were glory days - Kanuika and K&G were THE speed shops in the Philly area no one else was even close.
Steve built his last racer; the 69 Jungle Jim Camaro Super Stocker, with acid-dipped doors and frame, blueprinted 427-inch rat motor and all of the go-fast stuff. It was a 9.80s match racer, very popular, and another rolling billboard for his speed shops. This car still holds a class record! It was driven by Steve, and eventually sold to Dick Collins.
Speed parts were selling, the Jungle cars were winning, and it was all good. . During this time Steve had the success of having both his motors in the '69 Funny Car finals in both of "Jungle's" cars as well as sponsoring some of the greatest cars and drivers of the time. These included no less than Lew Arrington's Brutus, Roland Leong's Hawaiian, Mickey Thompson , Jade Grenade, Neil Mahr's Superpress as well as many other famous names like Dickie Harell , Goeske, and Lewis to name a few. He also was one of the first to offer chassis-dyno tuning and many innovative engine building techniques. Focusing on all aspects of the build and machine work totally in house. He was a true pioneer and a class act for the sport of drag racing. He never gave up the love even in his retirement, he would build motors by appointment, and had been working on several engine design patents.

This is where Don Vito Corleone (Marlon Brando) says:
"I'm gonna make him a hoagie he can't refuse."
Making
as many as 1,000 hoagies a week, it's obvious that Delco residents love
the Ro-Lynn Delicatessen in Brookhaven, as much as they love "...the
cannolis!"
Walking in the door is
like walking into the heart of South Philly...you'll find some of the
best Italian food in five states. There are specialty meats and dozens
of cheeses hanging above the counter, creating a scent-sational aroma...
Shelves
are lined with boundless varieties of olive oil, Italian sauces,
olives, hot sauces, rare spices and pasta. Refrigerator cases overflow
with luscious take home goodies like imported meats and cheeses.
And
if you really want to impress a guest? ...the deli's freezers are fully
stocked with homemade soups and dishes that taste like your Italian
grandmother made them!
...Just hours ago
...With family recipes passed down through generations...
...Lovingly spiced...well, you get my drift ;)
FYI: Many an Italian grandmother has been seen leaving here with big bags...
- Everything is fresh including meats and cheeses sliced with each order.
- All the sauces and more than 16 soups are homemade with secret recipes worthy of a Godfather's protection.
- There's a different chicken cutlet for every chicken lover...
- And their famous hot roast pork, roast beef, meatballs and sausage dishes are also homemade and delizioso!
But the biggest, baddest sandwich in the place is The Godfather
...two
pounds of pure deliciousness featuring a heaping portion of Parma
Prosciutto, Soppressata, Dry Capicola, Pepper Ham and Sharp Provolone
with lettuce, tomato, onion, salt, pepper and oregano -- on a soft,
welcoming Liscio's Roll -- freely topped with your choice of hot &
sweet peppers, pickles, oil and mayo.
The regular is $9.99 -- and the virtual 2-pound Corleone version is just $12.99.
As you can see from the photo, left...our Delco tourism team can't resist it!
We sent Marilyn, our Membership Director, out for lunch today --and guess what she brought back to the office???!!!
A True Delco Classic - 51 years and counting!
The Carmolingo family opened the deli in 1965 featuring a variety of Italian specialties and homemade foods. Current
co-owners Steve Yancy and Dave Avicolli, worked for the Carmolingo's
for a decade before taking over ownership of the deli in 1998.
Today,
with the help of a dedicated staff, Steve and Dave continue the
tradition of offering the finest, homemade Italian specialties -- and
have even added a thriving catering business to the mix!
