Actor Mark Wahlberg, in the area shooting the movie "The Lovely Bones," made good on his promise to attend Q102 morning personality Chris Booker's Toys for Tots fund-raiser Friday night at Kildare's on Head House Square. Wahlberg created a near-stampede, and seemed most hygienically aware as he wore thick gloves while shaking hands. Booker and Kildare's owner Dave Magrogan report collecting more than 1,000 toys and more than $1,000 in cash from the event. Among those at the event were CBS3/WOGL traffic guy Bob Kelly, CBS3's Alycia Lane and Q102 morning sidekick Diego.
That's Wahlberg in plaid, with (from left) Magrogan, Phillies marketing man Mike Harris and Booker.

the smoked jouint was one of the best places in philly - they made about the only decent mojitto (oddly enough) and their pulled pork pickle pizza was to die for. not their fault academy house couldn't offer decent ventilation. that restaurant location is cursed - it's hidden from the street so you have to go through a post-modern concrete mall and up some stairs to enter. The ugliness is astounding and this new place will fail too; the only people to benefit will be the contractors who build it.
