AHMIR: Philadelphia has always been the barometer for the NBA player. Starting with Wilt Chamberlain, then Dr. J, and then Charles Barkley the generation after that. All those people are the standards for their generation, and I don’t think it’s a coincidence that Iverson defined the next generation. And for him to be in the emperor’s old clothes was rather ironic.

Sam’s Harbor Lunch was thrown off the waterfront in 1988, after the building it was in was torn down to make way for a new office-retail complex. The restaurant was not allowed to relocate on the harbor because the city decided it did not meet requirements set by the new waterfront referendum that only allowed marine-related development. (The office complex sailed through because it was approved before the referendum.) Despite the fact that Sam’s served hordes of waterfront workers, he was forced to move to Forest Avenue, where the restaurant was later renamed Samuel’s Bar & Grill.

Clay was right. When the issue dropped a few weeks later, the rest of the world found out for itself. The verdict? Instant classic.

On my wedding day, I was given many colorful and glossy cookery books. They were all quality publications but none of them was any good. Cookery books should awaken our taste buds, make us smell the aroma of dishes, and develop a desire to find out more. But these books weren’t like that. They were exactly like the formulaic math textbooks of school. Recipes are one reason why I love people. One such person was a writer called Barbare Jorjadze who lived in nineteenth-century Georgia. That lady is my muse.

In the largest section, which hangs behind the SFAC Gallery’s front desk, one of the building’s archways and light figures is replicated in gauzy, shimmery fabric, the layers creating the appearance of panes of glass. Thread rising up either side of the arch sketch out tule reeds, a reference to the site’s marshland past. And at the bottom center, a dark camouflage pattern, traced delicately in corresponding stitches, is an homage to both the veterans who meet in the building, and the trickle of Hayes Creek that flows below.

Over the years, I’ve sampled some extravagant framings of natural wonders: a helicopter ride into the Grand Canyon; orcas seen from a hydrofoil in Puget Sound. I have some puritanical distrust of good things being handed to one on a plate, but I can’t pretend that I haven’t enjoyed these adventures. In those cases, the fun was partly about comfort, but it was also about the feeling of accelerated gratification. My igloo was extremely comfortable, but it lacked that crucial element of being able to speed things along. You need just as much patience in a glass igloo as you do in a motel.

A: Last year the MXA wrecking crew discounted the Kawasaki KX125. We denigrated it by calling it “YZ125-lite.” No more. For 2004 the KX125 will not take a back seat to anyone in the horsepower department. This is not the “Lite” version of a 125. It’s got a full figure at last.

When you see an imposing, immobile thing—say, a Beaux-Arts city building devoted to official happenings—is your first impulse to make that very solid object soft, squishy and accessible?

Her work with Bergman began earlier, however. She appeared in a commercial for Bris soap, which Bergman had agreed to do because of a 1951 national film-industry strike. Four years later, he cast her in “Smiles of a Summer Night”; her character name was Actress, and she had one scene.

The boot is a good height to lift groceries into and the doors open a decent amount so you can get big boxes in if you need to.
