Blather: Philadelphia to "The Real World": That's How We Do It in the PA, Beeyatch
"'The Real World' is pulling out of my hometown after slamming up against one intractable reality: 'This is a union town,' according to Tony Frasco, vice president of Teamsters Local 107. RW producers figured to come into Philadelphia and set up non-union, as they've done in jerkwater burgs like New York, Chicago and Boston. They apparently didn't reckon on the creative levels of intransigence to which a real Philadelphia Teamster can rise when provoked. Too bad: Now we'll never know what a bunch of high-strung, narcissistic twentysomethings do when the Tastykakes run out." ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
