THE PURGE ANARCHY: Quick Chat with Actor Frank Grillo in Philly
Post Update 7/18 Some of my readers may know I was a huge fan of the daytime soap Guiding Light (click for post) Frank Grillo played an important character on the show (1997-1999) Hart Jessup who was involved with another favorite character, wickedly wonderful Dinah Marler (Wendy Moniz) I never knew until this week, when I saw a tweet from Wendy Moniz Grillo about The Purge: Anarchy that she and Frank Grillo got married!

Airy and this past weekend was the first time I really took advantage of how convenient the 34 Trolley is to get into Center City Philadelphia – 15 minutes flat to go from 48th & Baltimore to 13 & Market! – So now there’s no more looking for parking, paying for parking or fear of meter running out and getting a ticket, no more expensive Regional Rail ride or driving to Ridge Ave to get the infrequent #9 bus, which sits in traffic on the Schuylkill (Rt 76) and most thankfully, no more taking the H…
