For decades, TGI Fridays on City Line Ave was a Sixers hangout.

Then, Allen Iverson turned it into a club.

He had his own booth (Table 70). He used a back entrance.

Former employees said he'd call after games to let them know he was on his way.

TGI Fridays on City Avenue was a longtime Sixers hangout. Then Allen Iverson made it one of Philly’s hottest ‘clubs.’
It was a chain restaurant in a part of town not known for being fashionable. Iverson and other Sixers legends helped transform it into a destination.

I’m fascinated by how many of these schmucks seem determined to return not just to the 50s, but to an imaginary form of the 50s derived from sitcoms. I demand a national screening of the movie Pleasantville!

We’re 👏 Not 👏 Going 👏 Anywhere 👏

Starbucks knows where we stand. We’ve been clear and consistent on what we need to succeed: more take-home pay, better hours, resolving legal issues. Until then, you’ll see us and our allies on the picket line.
