Inqlings: S. Philly fair falls with Fumo

A side effect of Vince Fumo's downfall: Flavors of the Avenue, the annual street fair on East Passyunk Avenue in South Philly, has been canceled.

Citizens' Alliance for Better Neighborhoods, the Fumo-backed nonprofit that handled cleanup and trash removal, has disbanded. The event sponsor, East Passyunk Avenue Business Improvement District, could not absorb the nearly $20,000 needed for April 25.

"People don't know how much they did," East Passyunk's Renee Gilinger says of Citizens' Alliance.

A deli rivalry is shaping up in Center City. Russ Cowan, owner of Queen Village's Famous 4th Street Deli, says he signed a lease yesterday for 38 S. 19th St. and hopes to open a second location in July. In 2001, the Brooklyn-born Cowan opened Kibitz Room in Cherry Hill. Cowan sold that deli to his former manager Neil Parish - who is about two weeks from opening a second Kibitz Room, at 1521 Locust St.

A street in Camden will be named after Leon Huff, half of the Sound of Philadelphia hit machine Gamble & Huff, tomorrow. "Leon Huff Way" is not quite the expressway to your heart. Mulford Street in the city's Centerville section is down the street from his childhood home at 1038 Ferry Ave., now a vacant lot. Camden could not rename Ferry Avenue in Huff's honor because it's a county road, the city says.

Sheinelle Jones of Fox29's Good Day and her husband, Uche Ojeh, are expecting their first child in September. The news, rumored for some time, was spilled at the end of yesterday's show, in a staged bit that had producers playing "I Heard It Through the Grapevine," followed by colleagues coyly asking Jones if there was anything to confirm. Jones, who turns 31 this month, and Ojeh, her college sweetheart, were married in September 2007.

Wired 96.5 afternoon host Kannon, 31, married Center City ad exec Diana Figliuolo over the weekend in Puerto Rico. The ceremony ended in fireworks. The good kind.

Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie's Haverford pad is on the market, with an asking price of $8.5 million. Lurie and wife Christina are heavily renovating the Annenberg estate in Wynnewood, for which they paid $14 million in 2007. The listing describes the five-bedroom off Montgomery Avenue as "understated elegance" - "handsome 1928 stone Normandy nestled on 2.31 manicured acres on a private lane" with pool, spa, cabana, and clay tennis court, and "landscaped in the European tradition with elegant front and rear courtyards, flagstone terraces and spectacular park-like grounds."
