One Southwest Philadelphia man saw his life twist upside down after he nearly died from COVID, but now is inspiring others and taking on the Broad Street Run.
Parker, 57, from West Philly, died last month from cancer and advanced diabetes. The entrepreneur never married, and his immediate family only consists of his sister, her children and an aunt. We just don t want to arbitrarily have the business running without any true direction, Monique Evans-Wescott, a friend of Parker s, told the Philadelphia Tribune.
The decision to temporarily shutter both restaurants was announced on their Facebook pages.
The KeVen Parker Soul Food Cafe along with The Award Winning Ms. Tootsie’s Restaurant Bar and Lounge are temporarily closed. We look forward to seeing you all soon. ❤️Posted by KeVen Parkers Soul Food Cafe - Reading Terminal Market on Sunday, January 31, 2021
