Can you spot the Philly sports fan in this photograph by Michael T. Regan taken at Mahaneh Yehuda market in Jerusalem? A print of the photo hangs over the bread oven at Zahav restaurant in Society Hill.

A sale is imminent for the Tony Luke Jr.-Leo Rossi drama "The Nail: The Story of Joey Nardone," Luke tells me.

Fox has been identified as the potential buyer.

The film, which will have its world premiere in March as part of the Philadelphia CineFest, was shot here over 18 days last June.

"The Nail," written by Luke and Jason Noto and directed by James Quattrochi, has the cheesesteak whiz/actor starring as a boxer coming home after eight years in prison a beaten man. While hanging out at his old gym, he befriends a bullied teen (Paul Orrantia).

Leo Rossi (a producer), Tony Danza and Ray "Boom Boom" Mancini have small roles.

In a piece in the New Republic, former Inquirer reporter Michael Schaffer explores the growing small-town obsession with their local news reporters, profiling the Larry Mendte and Alycia Lane scandal to argue that these many U.S. cities “outside Los Angeles, New York, or Washington” lionize their TV anchors in the absence of “real” celebrities.

(Yes, Philadelphia is a small town.)

Nothing like a private proposal...

WOGL/CBS3 traffic guy Bob Kelly chose the quietude of the Wachovia Center to propose -- on the Jumbotron at the Flyers game during his traffic "hit" last night -- to Carrie Wilson, a title-insurance rep from Malvern.

Kelly, 46, has two girls; Wilson, 33, has a girl and two boys.

In addition to a nice diamond, Kelly gave Wilson a Flyers sweater with "Kelly 3," as in CBS3, on the back. Wait. Wasn't Bob Kelly #9 for the Flyers? 

Majolica, chef Andrew Deery and wife Sarah Johnson's well-regarded BYOB in Phoenixville, will end its nearly four-year run with dinner service Saturday night (2/28), its hostess confirmed Wednesday.

One of the three-bell darlings of the circuit and a bright spot in the town's revival, Majolica has been done in by the economy. A year ago, the couple cut hours when their daughter was born.

More to come...

Aditi Roy, at NBC10 for nearly seven years, has been officially appointed morning news coanchor. She replaces Lori Delgado, who resigned in early October.

Roy, last anchoring on weekends, had been filling in beside Terry Ruggles. Meteorologist Bill Henley rounds out the team.

A station spokeswoman said the decision to make her a permanent member of the team was an "easy one."

Chef David Katz, who owns Mémé at 22d and Spruce Streets, is bringing in one of his teachers and another old friend to cook dinner on March 17.

The teacher is Corbin Evans, whose name may ring a bell among foodies (BLT's Cobblefish in Manayunk, Topeka on the Parkway, Pollo Rosso in Chestnut Hill, Lilies on 12th in Wash West). Katz worked for him at Lilies and Pollo Rosso. For the last dozen years, he's been in New Orleans, where he owned and operated Lulu in the Quarter and Lulu in the Garden District Hotel -- both well-received and both destroyed during Hurricane Katrina. Also joining them will be Joe Lakavage, who worked with Evans and Katz at Lilies. (In case you're racking your brain: Lilies is where Les Bons Temps is now, on 12th Street near Sansom.)

There will be two dinner seatings -- 6 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. -- limited to 30 people each. Five-course menu has not been set but will include five courses or $55, or $70 with wine. (Res: 215-735-4900.)

Avram Hornik, owner of Loie, Lucy's Hat Shop, Noche, Drinker's Pub and Drinker's Tavern, is going into the old O'Hara's Fish House space at 39th and Chestnut Streets with a brick-oven pizzeria.

He and partner Mark Fichera have "Duo" as the working name, and an August target for the opening.
