REGINA: HERE'S WHAT'S NEXT -- SHIRLEY: ON THIS EPISODE OF "YOU OUGHTA KNOW."

PFIZER'S COVID VACCINE FOR FIVE-YEAR-OLDS TO 11-YEAR-OLDS.

REGINA: PAIRING WINE LOVERS WITH WINE GROWERS.

>> STAY TUNED FOR WHAT WE ARE DOING TO SERVE OUR COMMUNITY.

REGINA: AND A LOOK AT A FULL FAMILY FUN ACTIVITY.

WELCOME TO THE SHOW.

I REGINA MITCHELL -- I AM REGINA MITCHELL.

SHIRLEY: AND I'M SHIRLEY MIN.

WE BOTH HAVE LITTLE KIDS.

UP TILL NOW, THEY WERE NOT ELIGIBLE TO BE VACCINATED.

REGINA: WE WERE WAITING FOR THIS.

IT'S A FEW MONTHS AFTER HER FIFTH BIRTHDAY.

WE BOTH JUST WANTED THIS.

EVEN THOUGH THERE'S A LOT OF QUESTIONS SURROUNDING IT, WE KNEW THIS WAS IMPORTANT FOR OUR FAMILY.

SHIRLEY: BOTH OF MY KIDS ARE WITHIN THE AGE RANGE TO BE VACCINATED.

I HAVEN'T MADE THEIR APPOINTMENTS JUST YET.

I DO HAVE QUESTIONS, LIKE A LOT OF PARENTS OUT THERE, AS YOU MENTIONED.

ALL THIS IS HAPPENING AS PEDIATRICIANS ARE GETTING THEIR FIRST DOSES OF THE PFIZER COVID-19 VACCINE APPROVED FOR FIVE-YEAR-OLDS TO 11-YEAR-OLDS.

SOME PARENTS RUSH TO GET THEIR KIDS VACCINATED BEFORE THE HOLIDAYS.

OTHERS ARE ON THE FENCE OR ADAMANTLY OPPOSED.

I REACHED OUT TO MY FRIEND, A DELAWARE PEDIATRICIAN, TO HELP MOMS AND DADS LEARN MORE ABOUT THE VACCINE FOR KIDS IN THIS AGE GROUP.

DOES MY CHILD NEED THE VACCINE, GIVEN THAT COVID DOESN'T SEEM TO BE PRESENTING AS SEVERELY FOR KIDS IN THE FIVE TO 11 AGE GROUP?

>> WE'VE ADDRESSED THAT RIGHT AWAY.

WE'VE BEEN SAYING FOR A YEAR AND A HALF THAT IS HAVE AN INNATE IMMUNITY AND THE YOUNGER YOU ARE, THE LESS LIKELY TO GET A SEVERE DISEASE, BUT IT'S NOT ZERO RISK.

THERE'S REALLY GOOD REASONS TO GET IT.

IT IS THE EIGHTH MOST COMMON CAUSE OF DEATH AT THAT AGE GROUP.

IT'S NOT COMMON, BUT IT HAPPENS.

YOU ARE TRYING TO PREVENT PRIMARY COVID AND LUNG DISEASE, PLUS THE LONG HAULER SYMPTOMS.

MULTI-INFLAMMATORY SYSTEM DISEASE IN CHILDREN.

THERE'S OTHER REASONS THAT IT MAKES NO SENSE FOR A LOT OF FAMILIES TO GET IT.

IF THEY HAVE THE BACK -- IT MAKES REAL SENSE FOR A LOT OF FAMILIES TO GET IT.

IF THEY HAVE IT, THEY WILL HAVE TO QUARANTINE.

WE KNOW HOW HORRIBLE IT WAS ACADEMICALLY AND EMOTIONALLY FOR KIDS WHO GET EXPOSED.

KIDS WHO PLAY SPORTS, THEY HAVE TO MISS FOR A COUPLE WEEKS.

THERE'S ALSO THE ISSUE OF GRANDMA AND EVERYBODY ELSE.

IN A LOT OF FAMILIES, THE BIGGEST RISK TO THE FAMILY IS THE CHILD THEMSELVES.

SHIRLEY: WILL THE PEDIATRIC VACCINE HELP END THE PANDEMIC?

>> I THINK THE PEDIATRIC VACCINES WILL GET US CLOSER TO ENDING THE PANDEMIC, BUT IT'S NOT AN ISSUE OF AN ENDPOINT IN THE PANDEMIC.

WE WILL FEEL IN A MUCH BETTER PLACE WHEN THE PANDEMIC OF COVID-19 BEGINS -- BECOMES LIKE THE FLU.

YOU GET CASES EACH YEAR THAT PEOPLE GET REALLY SICK, BUT NOT TO THE EPIDEMIC/PANDEMIC LEVELS.

THIS WILL HELP US GET THERE.

SHIRLEY: WHAT SHOULD PARENTS KNOW ABOUT THE RISK OF MYOCARDITIS, INFLAMMATION OF THE HEART MUSCLE IN BOYS AND YOUNG MEN?

>> IT SEEMS TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH LEVELS OF TESTOSTERONE.

WHO HAS THE HIGHEST LEVELS, 17-YEAR-OLDS AND 18-YEAR-OLDS.

IT'S STILL REALLY LOW.

KIDS ARE LESS RISK, BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE HIGH TESTOSTERONE.

THE DOSE IS MUCH LOWER.

1/3 THE DOSE.

MUCH LESS SIDE EFFECTS.

THEY TESTED IT ON 3100 KIDS, NO SIGNIFICANT SIDE EFFECTS AT ALL.

MUSCLE ACHES, HEADACHES, FATIGUE, PAIN AT THE VACCINATION SITE.

REALLY, MUCH LESS, BECAUSE THEY ARE YOUNGER AND BECAUSE THE DOSE IS SO MUCH LOWER.

GETTING MYOCARDITIS FROM COVID IS A LOT MORE SERIOUS THAN GETTING MYOCARDITIS FROM THE VACCINE.

ON THE OTHER HAND, AN INDIVIDUAL MOTHER OR FATHER WILL SAY, IF YOU GET COVID, THAT HAPPENS, BUT I'M NOT GOING OUT OF MY WAY TO BRING MY CHILD INTO GET A SHOT AND THEN THEY GET IT.

A LOT OF PARENTS SAY IT'S HARD TO LIVE WITH THEMSELVES IF THEY BRING A HEALTHY CHILD IN AND THEY GET THAT SIDE EFFECT.

THE RISK OF MYOCARDITIS AT THIS AGE IS NEGLIGIBLE.

SHIRLEY: POLLING SUGGESTS THERE IS SOME VACCINATION HESITANCY AMONG ADULTS, EVEN IF THEY ARE VACCINATED.

WHAT DO YOU SAY TO THEM?

>> WE NEED TO BE RESPECTFUL OF PEOPLE'S FEARS.

VERY SMART PEOPLE AND PARENTS AND GREAT PARENTS MAY FEEL THIS IS NOT RIGHT FOR THEIR CHILD.

THAT'S THEIR DECISION.

I RESPECT THAT.

I JUST WANT TO KEEP THE DIALOGUE GOING.

WE SEE THEM OFTEN.

WE CAN TOUCH BASE AND SEE WHAT THEY ARE THINKING.

SHIRLEY: DR. WALKER SAID PFIZER IS EXPECTED TO RELEASE ITS RESULT FROM TRIALS OF KIDS IN THE TWO TO FOUR AGE RANGE IN LATE DECEMBER.

WE COULD SEE VACCINES ROLL OUT FOR THAT AGE GROUP IN MID TO LATE WINTER.

REGINA: IT IS VERY COMPLICATED.

FOR OUR FAMILY, THE BIGGEST CONCERN WAS MY MOTHER, WHO IS A LITTLE OLDER.

SHE HAS IMMUNE DEFICIENCIES, SO WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE WE HAD HER PROTECTED, BUT I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY EVERYBODY HAS A DIFFERENT POSITION.

SHIRLEY: I CAN SEE IT FROM BOTH SIDES, LIKE YOU.

I'VE HEARD FROM A LOT OF PARENTS WHO ARE SAYING IT'S NOT ABOUT BEING ANTI-VACCINE.

THEY'RE WORRIED THERE IS NOT ENOUGH DATA BECAUSE OF HOW QUICKLY THE VACCINE WAS ROLLED OUT.

WE HAVE TO ARM OURSELVES WITH AS MUCH INFORMATION AS POSSIBLE.

DR. WALTER IS NOT MY CHILDREN'S PEDIATRICIAN, ALTHOUGH I DO LOVE HIM.

I KNOW I WILL CONTINUE THIS CONVERSATION WITH MINE.

REGINA: THERE IS NO LEADERSHIP AT TWO PHILADELPHIA ORGANIZATIONS STEEPED IN HISTORICAL RICHNESS AND ADVANCEMENT.

FOR 45 YEARS, THE AFRICAN-AMERICAN MUSEUM IN PHILADELPHIA HAS HELPED PRESERVE, INTERPRET, AND EXHIBIT THE HERITAGE OF BLACK PEOPLE.

ITS NEWEST PRESIDENT HOPES TO MAKE IT A MUST VISIT DESTINATION FOR THE WORLD.

MEET.

DR -- MEET DR. JORDAN, THE NEW PRESIDENT AND CEO AT THE HOME OF THE AA -- HELM OF THE AAMP.

>> I SERVED AS A SENIOR DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT AT THE NATIONAL RAILROAD -- NATIONAL UNDER GRILL ROAD -- UNDERGROUND RAILROAD DEVELOPMENT.

THEY TELL THESE STORIES ABOUT AFRICAN-AMERICAN HISTORY AND CULTURE.

WHAT I LOVE MOST ABOUT MY NEW ROLE, I FEEL LIKE IT'S A CONTINUATION OF MY FORMER ROLE, WHERE BOTH SIDES TALK TO THE ESSENCE OF FREEDOM AND HOW WE CAN USE THIS WORD FREEDOM TO CONNECT TO THIS UNIVERSAL THEME THAT APPLIES TO MANY PEOPLE, WHETHER IT BE OUR FREEDOMS FOR ACCESSIBILITY, OUR FREEDOMS FOR QUALITY OF LIFE, HAPPINESS, AND THE PURSUIT OF LIBERTY.

REGINA: SINCE 1976, THE MUSEUM HAS USED ART, HISTORY, AND CULTURE TO BRING COMMUNITY MEMBERS TOGETHER IN AN EFFORT TO CREATE A GREATER APPRECIATION OF THE BLACK EXPERIENCE.

DR. JORDAN ALREADY HAS PLANS TO EXPAND ON THE AAMP'S REACH, BY CREATING MORE DIGITAL AND ONLINE PROGRAMMING.

>> WE'VE SEEN AN UPTICK IN INTEREST ACROSS THE BOARD.

PEOPLE WANTING TO DO MORE.

WE ARE JUST HAPPY THAT WE ARE ABLE TO BE ABLE TO RESPOND TO THOSE NEEDS, BECAUSE WE ARE A SITE FOR EDUCATION, ENGAGEMENT.

WE ARE ALSO A PLACE FOR RECONCILIATION AND HEALING, SO THAT PEOPLE CAN COME AND LEARN AND BE ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF HISTORY.

THAT IS OUR HOPE.

AND THEY WILL LEAVE, TRANSFORMED TO CARRY ON OUR MISSION AND TO WORK AS CHANGE AGENTS, SO THAT HISTORY WILL STOP REPEATING ITSELF.

THAT IS OUR GOAL.

REGINA: THE NEWLY ELECTED PRESIDENT OF PHILADELPHIA'S NAACP, CATHERINE HICKS, SHARED HER VISION FOR THE ORGANIZATION WITH WHYY'S NEWS AND COMMUNITY EXCHANGE CONTRIBUTOR.

>> WE ARE TAKING STEPS TO MAKE SURE THAT, IN THIS DAY AND AGE, WHERE MORE THINGS ARE VIRTUAL, OUR WEBSITE IS UPDATED, OUR SOCIAL MEDIA SITES ARE UPDATED WITH ALL OF THE LATEST THINGS THAT WE ARE OFFERING.

WE ARE BRINGING MORE YOUNG PEOPLE IN, GETTING THEM ENGAGED.

WE ARE LOOKING TO PARTNER WITH A LOT OF ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE DOING THINGS IN THE COMMUNITY THAT WE CAN ALSO PARTNER ON AND THAT WE CAN HELP WITH.

WE DON'T HAVE TO REINVENT THE WHEEL.

THERE ARE A LOT OF ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE OUT HERE THAT ARE DOING GOOD WORK.

THE NAACP -- WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE ARE INVOLVED AND ENGAGED AS WELL TO HELP THE COMMUNITY.

REGINA: SHE IS ALSO THE PUBLISHER OF THE PHILADELPHIA SUNDAY SUN.

SHIRLEY: CONGRATULATIONS TO THEM BOTH.

THE NEWLY RENOVATED PLAYHOUSE IN WILMINGTON IS WELCOMING BACK THEATERGOERS.

WE WENT INSIDE TO CHECK IT OUT AND LEARN ABOUT AN UPCOMING PERFORMANCE.

♪ >> THE PLAYHOUSE ON RODNEY SQUARE WAS BUILT IN 1913 BY THE DUPONT COMPANY.

THEY BUILT THAT THEATER WITH 100 MEN IN 150 DAYS, AND WE ARE NOW 108 YEARS OLD AND JUST IN THE LAST YEAR, WE TOOK ADVANTAGE OF THE PANDEMIC TO GIVE IT A BIT OF A FACELIFT.

THERE WERE THINGS THAT NEEDED TO BE DONE IN THE BUILDING.

THE PRIMARY GOAL WAS TO REPLACE THE SEATING.

THIS WONDERFUL NEW SEATING THAT IS HERE BEHIND ME.

THE LAST TIME THE SEATS HAD BEEN REPLACED WAS IN THE EARLY 1990'S.

WE STARTED WITH THE SEATS AND WE KNEW THE CARPET WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED SO WE COULD BUILD THE SEATS OUT.

WE HAVE REPAINTED FROM CEILING TO FLOOR.

BROUGHT OUT A LOT OF THE ARCHITECTURAL DETAILS THAT HAD BEEN LOST TO TIME, THAT HAD DIMMED AS THE PAIN FADED.

WE REPLACED -- THE PAINT FADED.

WE REPLACED THE LIGHTING, SO IT'S BRIGHTER AND MORE WELCOMING.

WHEN PEOPLE COME BACK, THEY WILL SEE A VERY DIFFERENT THEATER.

SHIRLEY: IN ADDITION TO THE THEATER'S RENOVATION, THERE IS ALSO A REDEFINED FOCUS ON COMMUNITY AND MULTIPLICITY.

>> WE DECIDED THAT WHAT WE WENT THROUGH ALL AS A PEOPLE, AS A CIVILIZATION, WAS NOT JUST A HEALTH EMERGENCY, BUT IT WAS ALSO AN ECONOMIC CRISIS AND A RACIAL RECKONING.

WE SAW THERE WAS AN OPPORTUNITY IN COMING OUT OF THE PANDEMIC THAT WE COULD ALSO ADDRESS DIVERSITY ISSUES AS WELL.

WE ARE GOING TO BRING IN MORE ARTISTS OF COLOR FOR AUDIENCES OF COLOR.

WE ARE GOING TO PROVIDE MORE SUPPORT IN TICKET AND TRANSPORTATION SUBSIDIES FOR TITLE I AND LMI SCHOOLS TO COME TO OUR PROGRAMS.

WE WILL DO MORE ARTIST RESIDENCIES.

♪ SHIRLEY: CAPTURING THE ATTENTION OF DIVERSE AUDIENCES IS WHAT THEATERGOERS WILL SEE THIS DECEMBER, WHEN THE WILMINGTON BALLET'S "NUTCRACKER" TAKES CENTER STAGE.

>> WE ARE TRYING TO INCORPORATE THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY TO COME TO THIS "NUTCRACKER," YOUNG, OLD, BLACK, WHITE, STRAIGHT, GAY.

THIS IS A LOVE LETTER TO EVERYONE IN THE COMMUNITY TO COME SEE THE SHOW AND MAYBE EXPERIENCE SOMETHING A BIT NEW.

>> THIS IS OUR 53RD PRODUCTION IN THIS THEATER.

IT'S EXCITING TO BE BACK.

IT'S A BRAND-NEW MULTIRACIAL CAST.

WE ARE BACK WITH A 35-PIECE LIVE ORCHESTRA.

>> WE WORK WITH FOUR DANCE STU DIOS.

AND A FEW OTHER INDIVIDUAL ARTISTS.

>> WE HAVE A COUPLE DIFFERENT PEOPLE WE ARE EXCITED ABOUT.

NICOLE PARKER IS AN ALUMNI WHO WENT ON TO DANCE WITH THE ALVIN AILEY AMERICAN DANCE THEATER.

SHE CAME BACK FOR HER MOTHER.

AND A YOUNG BOY IN THE SOUTHBRIDGE COMMUNITY, WHO WAS DANCING AROUND.

SHE STARTED FILMING HIM.

SHE POSTED IT ON INSTAGRAM.

>> SHE WAS TRYING TO START A FUND TO PAY FOR CLASSES FOR THIS YOUNG MAN.

THAT YOUNG MAN WILL NOW BE IN "NUTCRACKER" AND IS GETTING FREE CLASSES, TRANSPORTATION TO THE STUDIO, AND HE IS A WELCOME ADDITION.

>> IT PULLS AT MY HEARTSTRINGS, BECAUSE I SEE MYSELF IN HIM.

HE GREW UP A FEW DOORS DOWN FROM WHERE I GREW UP.

THAT COMMUNITY HAS HAD A HARD GO WITH PEOPLE THINKING OF IT AS A NEGATIVE AND BAD PLACE.

THERE ARE LOTS OF OTHER UNDISCOVERED TALENTS THERE.

L.J.

IS GOING TO BE A WONDERFUL LIGHT ON THE STAGE AND WE ARE EXCITED TO HAVE HIM.

SHIRLEY: THE WILMINGTON BALLET'S 53RD PRODUCTION OF "NUTCRACKER" WILL BE CENTER STAGE AT THE PLAYHOUSE ON RODNEY SQUARE FOR THREE DAYS.

HERE'S HOW YOU CAN GET TICKETS FOR THAT PERFORMANCE AND OTHERS HEADING TO THE PLAYHOUSE.

REGINA: WE GO TO THE MOVIES TO SEE STORIES ABOUT LOVE, LOSS, AND LIFE EXPERIENCES.

HOWEVER, THOSE STORIES ARE ALL AROUND US.

A PHILADELPHIA FILM SERIES AIMS TO SHARE A FEW FROM A GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO ARE OFTEN SEEN, BUT NOT HEARD.

>> I HAD THIS DREAM, LIKE A VISION.

>> I LOVE PEOPLE.

THE MORE HUMANS, THE MORE BEAUTIFUL THE WORLD IS.

>> I TAKE IT AT FACE VALUE.

REGINA: THEIR FACES, YOU MAY NOT RECOGNIZE, BUT THERE STORIES ARE UNIVERSAL.

>> WHEN I TURN AROUND, IT'S THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMAN I'VE EVER, EVER SEEN.

I'VE NEVER BELIEVED IN LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT, BUT IT HAPPENED.

REGINA: THEY ARE THE SUBJECT OF THE FILM SERIES "VOICES FROM BROAD STREET MINISTRIES," A ELECTION OF STORIES TOLD BY THOSE WHO STRUGGLED WITH BEING HOMELESS AND ON DRUGS OR INCARCERATED.

BUT THIS PROJECT DOESN'T FOCUS ON WHAT THEY DON'T HAVE, AS MUCH AS WHAT THEY DO HAVE.

>> I WAS ATTRACTED TO THESE STORIES BECAUSE THEY ARE STORIES A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVEN'T HEARD BEFORE.

WORKING WITH THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO ARE THE GUESTS OF BROAD STREET MINISTRY WAS AN OPPORTUNITY I COULDN'T PASS UP.

REGINA: WITH JUST THE BACKDROP OF AN EMPTY SUNDAY SCHOOL, THE DIRECTOR CREATES A FULL PICTURE OF THOSE WHO COME TO BROAD STREET MINISTRIES FOR ASSISTANCE.

>> PEOPLE MAY USE SERVICES, GO FOR MEALS, USE OTHER SUPPORTS.

PEOPLE ARE MORE THAN THAT.

WE WANTED TO DO A FILM SERIES THAT CREATED A COMPLETE UNDERSTANDING ABOUT WHO PEOPLE ARE, STORIES THAT HAVEN'T BEEN TOLD ABOUT PHILADELPHIA.

>> ♪ WHEN THE ROAD YOU TAKE BRINGS YOU HEARTBREAK SOMEWHERE DOWN THE LINE ♪ >> THERE ARE STORIES ABOUT FAMILY, HOPE, AMBITIONS, DREAMS.

THEY ARE STORIES ABOUT LESSONS LIFE HAS TAUGHT THEM.

THERE'S A LOT OF WISDOM.

THERE'S A STORY WHERE SHE TALKS ABOUT HER GREAT LOVE FOR PEOPLE AND HUMANKIND.

>> YOU COULD BE A STRANGER.

YOU COULD BE FAR AWAY.

LIKE, IF I SEE YOU ARE HURT, YOU ARE TOUCHING ME.

IT'S AMAZING.

I WAS REALLY NERVOUS.

IF IT WASN'T FOR OTHER PEOPLE SAYING, YOU CAN DO IT, I WOULD'VE PROBABLY WALKED OUT.

IT WAS REALLY FUN.

AND IT'S OK. >> THERE ARE MOMENTS WHEN MARISOL OR ANOTHER BROAD STREET MINISTRY GUEST WOULD SHARE THOUGHTS ABOUT THE WORLD AND REFLECTIONS ON LIFE THAT HIT THE CREW AND YOU COULD HEAR A PIN DROP IN THE ROOM, BECAUSE THERE WERE SUCH PEARLS OF WISDOM, OF DEEP UNDERSTANDING OF THE HUMAN NATURE.

REGINA: WITH 23% OF RESIDENTS LIVING IN POVERTY, PHILADELPHIA IS THE POOREST OF LARGE U.S. CITIES.

WITH THIS VIRTUAL FILM SERIES, THE ORGANIZATION HOPES TO DO MORE.

IT WANTS TO GIVE ITS GUESTS A VOICE WHERE THEY ARE USUALLY NOT HEARD.

>> MY DAUGHTER SAYS WE ARE ALL STORIES AND BONES, AND I THINK THAT'S TRUE.

WE GET A CHANCE TO LISTEN TO A STORY WE MAY NOT HAVE HEARD BEFORE.

AND IN LISTENING TO THOSE STORIES, A WINDOW MIGHT OPEN TO UNDERSTANDING SOMEBODY ELSE'S JOURNEY, THAT WE HAVE NOT HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO ENCOUNTER BEFORE.

>> I'VE SEEN THE EAGLES WIN THE SUPER BOWL.

REGINA: THE STORIES ARE SO GOOD.

THEY WILL ABSOLUTELY MOVE YOU.

THE SERIES IS IN FULL SWING.

IT WILL DROP A NEW FILM EVERY DAY IN NOVEMBER, UNTIL THE END OF THEIR FILM FESTIVAL.

IT'S A VIRTUAL EVENT.

CHECK IT OUT WHEREVER YOU ARE.

SHIRLEY: A FISHTOWN RESTAURANT OWNER DISHES WITH OUR IN-HOUSE FOODIE ABOUT HER HOAGIE SHOP AND HOW SHE'S MAKING SPACE FOR OTHER COOKS AND FOOD PRODUCERS.

>> COME FOR A TASTE OF THE OLD WITH THEIR CLASSIC HOAGIES, OR TRY SOMETHING NEW AT THE PEACHPIT POP-UP SHOP.

I'M SITTING WITH THE OWNER.

KARA, THERE'S A LOT GOING ON HERE.

TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT IT.

>> HERE AT CASTELLINO'S, WE HAVE A PLETHORA OF THINGS GOING ON.

WE HAVE OUR CLASSIC HOAGIE SHOP AND MARKET IN THE FRONT, BUT WE ALSO STARTED A POP-UP SHOP IN THE BACK.

WE CALL IT THE PEACHPIT.

IT'S AN INCUBATION SPACE FOR A LOT OF CREATIVE SPIRIT -- CHEFS AROUND THE AREA.

>> WHAT ARE SOME OF THE POP UPS YOU HAVE POSTED IN THE PEACHPIT?

>> WE HAD INCREDIBLE -- AN INCREDIBLE MEXICAN POP-UP THAT IS EXPANDING ITS BUSINESS.

WE HAVE A VEGAN ICE CREAM PLACE.

ICE CREAM, GELATO, REALLY CREATIVE FLAVORS THAT GET PEOPLE COMING OUT TO TRY THEM.

SHIRLEY: THERE IS SOMETHING ALWAYS KNEW HAPPENING HERE -- >> THERE IS SOMETHING ALWAYS NEW HAPPENING HERE.

THE COMMUNITY HAS COME OUT TO SUPPORT YOU.

>> WE HAVE GREAT NEIGHBORS.

THEY MAKE IT A FULFILLING JOB FOR US.

>> WE ARE A CITY THAT LOVES HOAGIES.

WE ARE VERY SERIOUS ABOUT THEM.

A LOT OF TIMES, YOU BUY THEM IN SOUTH PHILLY.

THIS IS A TASTE OF SOUTH PHILLY IN FISHTOWN.

THERE'S NOT TOO MANY SPECIALTY HOAGIE PLACES AROUND.

>> EXACTLY.

MY HUSBAND AND I MOVED UP FROM SOUTH PHILLY IN 2012, I BELIEVE.

IT WAS SOMETHING WE REALLY MISSED FROM OUR NEIGHBORHOOD IN SOUTH PHILLY, AND WE WANTED TO BRING THAT TO THE PEOPLE OF FISHTOWN AS WELL.

I WANTED TO BRING THAT TO OUR COMMUNITY, TOO, SO THE KIDS COULD GO UP WITH THE SAME SORT OF THING -- COULD GROW UP WITH THE SAME SORT OF THING.

>> YOU HAVE THE POP-UP SHOPS, THE WONDERFUL HOAGIES AND DELI MEATS.

YOU ALSO HAVE A SPECIALTY MARKET, FULL OF INGREDIENTS THAT ARE LOCAL AND FROM ABROAD.

TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE MARKET YOU HAVE.

>> WE HAVE OVER 50 DIFFERENT KINDS OF CHEESE.

NOT JUST ITALIAN, BUT DUTCH, FRENCH, LOCAL.

SOME VEGAN CHEESES AS WELL THAT ARE ALSO LOCAL.

REALLY TASTY STUFF.

PEOPLE ARE CREATING REALLY COOL PRODUCTS, AND WE ARE TRYING TO GET AS MANY OF THOSE IN AS POSSIBLE.

PEOPLE SAY THEY CAN'T BELIEVE HOW MUCH WE FIT INTO THIS TINY SHOP, BUT WE FIND CREATIVE WAYS TO GET THINGS IN HERE AND ON OUR SHELVES.

WE GET PEOPLE TO TRY THEM OUT.

>> IT'S A DELICIOUS VENTURE, NO MATTER WHAT YOU ARE COMING HERE FOR.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME.

I REALLY APPRECIATE IT.

>> THANK YOU FOR COMING OUT.

SHIRLEY: AS THE HOLIDAY SEASON NEARS, MANY OF US WILL BE OPENING A BOTTLE OF WINE TO SHARE WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY.

REGINA: THIS WEEK, WE VISIT A LOCAL WINE STORE THAT IS NOT JUST ABOUT THE TASTE OF THE GRAPES, BUT ALSO THE UNIQUE PLACES THEY ARE MADE AND THE STORIES OF THE PEOPLE WHO MAKE THEM.

>> WELCOME TO MORE BROTHERS WINE.

WE ARE NOW AT 25-YEAR-OLD INSTITUTION.

♪ THE STORY STARTED WITH A RESTAURANT.

MOST PEOPLE DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT IS ANYMORE.

IT'S WHERE IT STARTED.

I WAS THE SOMALIA AND GENERAL -- SO MELANIA-- THE SOMMELIER AND GENERAL MANAGER FOR 20 YEARS.

WHAT ALWAYS INTRIGUED ME WAS WINES THAT PEOPLE WERE MAKING THAT COULD COME FROM NOWHERE ELSE IN THE WORLD.

WE HAD THIS IDEA THAT BY THE DIRECT, PERSONAL CONNECTION WITH SOME OF THESE EXTRAORDINARY PEOPLE, WHOSE WINDS WERE NOT BEING DISTRIBUTED -- WINES WERE NOT BEING DISTRIBUTED, THE STORES ARE A DIRECT CONDUIT TO THE WINE CULTURE OF THESE PLACES.

WE'RE VERY INTERESTED IN THE PEOPLE.

PEOPLE ARE EXTRAORDINARY.

>> WE HAVE DECADES LONG RELATIONSHIPS WITH THESE WINEGROWERS.

I CAN TELL YOU ABOUT A WINE GR OWN IN A SINGLE VINEYARD THAT WAS FERMENTED IN CONCRETE TANKS.

WHO CARES?

BUT ABOUT THAT SAME WINE, IF I TOLD YOU THAT ONE SINGLE HUMAN BEING GREW THAT WINE IN VINES THAT HIS GRANDFATHER OWNED THAT ARE 80 YEARS OLD AND HE HIMSELF FARMED THOSE GRADES AND MADE THE WINE -- GRAPES AND MADE THE W INE WITHOUT ANY HELP FROM EMPLOYEES, WHEN YOU BRING IN THE HUMAN COMPONENT, THAT'S PRETTY FANTASTIC.

♪ THE MOST IMPORTANT COMPONENT OF THE IN-STORE EXPERIENCE IS OUR TASTING TABLE.

WE'RE GOING TO RUN THROUGH HOW TO PROPERLY GET A GREAT TASTING EXPERIENCE WITH WINE.

SWIRL THE WINE IN THE GLASS BECAUSE YOU ARE INCREASING THE SURFACE AREA OF WHAT YOU ARE THEN GOING TO SMELL.

STICK YOUR NOSE IN THERE TO GET AN IMPRESSION OF THE AROMAS.

TAKE A GOOD, MEASURED SIP.

COAT AS MUCH OF YOUR MOUTH AS YOU CAN, BECAUSE THAT WILL GIVE YOU A GOOD IMPRESSION OF WHAT YOU ARE TASTING.

♪ WE ARE A DIRECT CONDUIT FROM THE ONE GROWER TO THE -- THE WINEGROWER TO OUR CUSTOMERS.

TELLING THAT STORY OVER FIVE MINUTES AS THEY TASTE WINES, THAT IS THE EASIEST WAY TO UNDERSTAND WHAT WE DO HERE.

♪ WE'RE 25 YEARS OLD AS A COMPANY.

FOR ME, IT'S A TRUE PRIVILEGE TO KEEP DOING THIS.

>> TO SEE THE EXCITEMENT AND THE INTEREST THAT WE'RE VERY FORTUNATELY ABLE TO TRANSMIT, IT IS REINFORCED EVERY TIME THEY TRY SOMETHING NEW AND THEY LEARN ABOUT IT AND THEY COME BACK FOR MORE OF IT.

IT'S VERY SATISFYING.

REGINA: MOORE BROTHERS IS BACK OPEN FOR IN PERSON SHOPPING.

FIND A LINK FOR MORE INFORMATION ON OUR WEBSITE.

SHIRLEY: FALL IS FOR GETTING OUT AND GETTING ACTIVE.

REGINA: THERE'S A PLACE WHERE YOU CAN LEARN ABOUT THE HISTORY OF THE RAILROAD AND EXPERIENCE A NATURE PRESERVE WHILE GETTING A LITTLE EXERCISE, TOO.

>> I REALLY ENJOYED THE EXPERIENCE.

IT WAS A VERY PLEASANT, EASY-GOING, SCENIC EXPERIENCE.

I GOT TO SEE A BUNCH OF CREATURES OUT THERE.

REALLY JUST GOT TO TAKE A STEP BACK AND RELAX.

IT'S BEAUTIFUL TO BE OUTSIDE.

JUST SEE NATURE AT ITS BEST AND EXERCISE.
