The time-worn Schnucks, Olive Boulevard at Spoede Road, will be demolished and replaced by an Ace Hardware store and American Cleaners. Schnucks will construct a new outlet, replacing American Cleaners. Currently up the street, next to the present Walgreens. At the Crisis Nursery benefit Scott Schnuck, Dan Deveraux and Philly Flyers’ Chris Pronger toasted Thom Sehnert on his and wife Jane’s son, Liam, 13, who is headed for St. Louis Priory School. Sehnert got a plug in for his Annie Gunn’s, “where we’re now serving Silver Oak wine by the glass.” Nearby, jeweler Diane Katzman paid tribute to her husband, Dr. David Katzman, who turned to concierge medicine seven years ago, charging an annual fee to each patient. “He’s content these days with 10 patients each day,” said Diane. Former Crisis Nursery member Roberta Cohen appeared to face the cameras. After all, her husband, KMOV, Channel 4′s Allan Cohen orders the newsroom to cover her at every event she attends. And, Channel 4′s John Kniceley generously donated his time at the tables. Incidentally, Erica Byfield, one of the nicest reporters on that station’s news team, is ankling the studios.
