Unfortunately, good food isn't cheap [Naked City, "Organic No-Op," Andrew Thompson, July 9, 2009]. Like anything in life, quality has a price tag. Educating the difference between face value and the end result needs to be a focus. Tackling the situation as a nonprofit with corporate sponsorship (read deep pockets) is the only avenue. Yakety-yak dialogue is not the answer. Action is.
In this article I am referred to as Anthony's "pregnant girlfriend" [Naked City, "Dispatch: By the Sword," Mike Newall, July 2, 2009]. Now I think that we should get some of these facts out in the open. Most of this article is false, most of the events in this article are sugar-coated and, well, let's just say outrageous. I wasn't just Anthony's "pregnant girlfriend"; he actually asked me to marry him. I wasn't the "pregnant" girl on the porch; I was slowly moving myself in (by request). I was one of the closest people to Anthony. Closer than his mother. I may not shake and carry on in public, but Eileen wasn't the only one hurting that day. A lot of us were. You didn't mention me sitting in the courtroom witnessing my son's father's autopsy photos or his friends, being in there. I love how you acted like Eileen was the only one suffering. I'm not saying that she isn't, but to be completely and utterly honest, Eileen wasn't close with Anthony, words that came out of her own mouth. I really think that it's time that people stop only recognizing Eileen as a victim and start recognizing the rest of us, the people who Anthony called "family." I'm not bitter; I don't have any issues with Eileen. I'm just insulted by the fact that the article was so wrong.

Happy Holiday?
I give the Sixers props for not bending to the fans (since when do they do that anyway?), but Holiday is nothing more than a question mark [Naked City, "Sports Complex: The Jrue Holiday Project," E. James Beale, July 9, 2009]. "Potential" is a code word for "not good yet" and as we know from Shawn Bradley, Sharone Wright, Clarence Weatherspoon, not good yet often becomes not good.
