Move Over Yule Log, the Italian Market Burn Barrel is the New Tradition
I hope they used Nick Sirianni and Brian Johnson’s gameplan to light it:
Every Christmas party from the Packer to Cheltenham Ave is going to have two hours of burning barrel on their TV this year. The only way this could get more Philly is if someone ran down the street in a full on groufit.
One gripe: I wish there weren’t jump cuts in this video. I want to hear the road rage and people haggling with the grocery store clerks over a tomato. I want to visualize the occasional hit and run. Listen to the bus driver curse out a passenger for not paying their fare. Hear an elderly neighbor identify a workers with an identifier that has been outdated for three decades. I want the authentic South Philly experience! The Italian Market Burn Barrel for life!
Not gonna lie, I thought it was curtains for the Italian Market at this moment:
One wrong breeze and this place is going up. It’s got drier bones than my dad.
Does Nick Nurse need bench help?

I love a good Philly barrel fire. The distant cousin of the Philly dumpster fire:

And the grandson of the Philly junkyard fire:
