Philadelphia

Frank's brother Geno pays the Gang a visit this week. Again, this week's episode lacked much depth or originality. The entire story revolved around Frank and Geno's flashbacks, making everything one- dimensional. I almost didn't want to write this recap, but I have hope in future "Sunny" episodes. So in this week's recap, we'll try to highlight the best of it. Best way to make a hoagie: Remember when you were a kid, and the coolest way to make chocolate  milk was to consume both and mix it in your mouth by shaking your head really hard?

Earlier this month on an insufferable Baltimore summer's day, the only thing my colleague and friend Jacques Kelly and I wanted after work were a couple of tall cool gin-and-tonics. And in pursuit of those wonderful English Raj heat beaters, our journey to McCabe's took us out Falls Road. As we came abreast of the Baltimore Streetcar Museum, there sitting in the middle of the North Avenue streetcar loop, chained to a piece of track fixed aboard a flatbed truck, was a harbinger of winter.

Philadelphia police as well as dozens of friends and relatives were searching Sunday for Roswell Friend, a 22-year-old recent graduate of Temple University who went missing last week after going for a run. A native of Cockeysville who attended Dulaney High School, Friend was last seen around 7 p.m. Thursday. Police searched his home near the university and found his wallet and car keys. Only his house keys were missing. Unabyrd Wadhams, a family friend, said Friend was an athlete at Dulaney and also at Temple, where he ran cross country.

If he is not quite the man the Ravens drafted a year ago, Sergio Kindle at least gave a pretty good imitation at his formal unveiling last week in Philadelphia. The hearing in his left ear is poor and he had to rely on hand signals to get the defensive call at times, but the Ravens' pass-rushing linebacker was always around the ball in his NFL debut. The best news for the Ravens was no news -- no violent hits that left Kindle groggy. A year after he suffered a hairline skull fracture that forced him to sit out the 2010 season, Kindle, 23, passed a huge test in the Ravens' preseason opener.

As of 9:30 a.m. Friday, the right turn lane is temporarily closed on eastbound Philadelphia Road at Nottingwood Road in Baltimore County, because of a utility problem. Otherwise, there were no other problems on major Baltimore area highways. There are no major delays on mass transit systems.

With almost every regulatory hurdle cleared, planners believe they are about two weeks away from sinking a 563-foot former Navy destroyer off the coast of Maryland to create the largest artificial reef on the Eastern Seaboard. The Arthur W. Radford, docked in Philadelphia, is nearing the end of a laborious effort to remove all salvageable and toxic material and pass inspection by federal environmental and maritime safety officials, Erik Zlokovitz, artificial reef coordinator for the Maryland Department of Natural Resources told a state fisheries advisory commission Tuesday night.
