A Common Pleas Court judge has ruled that Parx Casino should be allowed to move its City Turf Club sports-betting operation into a South Philadelphia Chickie’s & Pete’s, which neighbors said has always been a family-friendly restaurant for birthday parties and bar mitzvah celebrations
“The Turf Club is only seeking to move the gambling facility a total of 8 blocks,” from its current location at 700 Packer Ave. to the Chickie’s & Pete’s at 1526 Packer Ave., Roberts said in his ruling. “It’s harder and harder to maintain order in communities,” Capozzi said. “And our community is adamant. They do not want this on our side.”Packer Park neighbors are fighting Parx and Chickie’s & Pete’s over plan to relocate the Turf Club
Theresa Franchetti, 60, lives in the house where she grew up, near 18th and Packer. “I have two sisters living around the corner and a bunch of aunts and cousins nearby.
