Dispatches From The Cheesesteak War

The Rick’s Steaks eviction saga really is the gift that keeps on giving. A planned protest rally was cancelled on Saturday (c’mon—this is Philly!—you can’t expect someone actually… going through with plans) but the merchants of Reading Terminal Market are still playing hardball with the organization. The latest is that the Amish Festival may be canceled if Rick’s is evicted from the market. Junior Esh of the Dutch Eating Place says that the market’s 12 Lancaster County businesses are standing in solidarity with Rick’s. However, the festival might be back on if the lease is renewed.
