This column is a partial thank-you to the creepy cowards who vandalized the Christopher Columbus statue at Broad and Oregon and the History of Italian Immigration Museum on East Passyunk Avenue. Because of your vandalism, I met Michael Bonasera, a listener and one of the people who founded and runs the museum.
On our recent tour, Bonasera said: "There is no hate here. There is only love." This museum honors great people of Italian heritage, the Italian immigrant experience, life in South Philly over the years and has a really interesting collection of artifacts and photos.
