Edward G Pettit

Not a Poe event, but hey, David Goodis was a Philadelphia writer (and we all know Edgar was, too), and what better way to spend a cold Sunday afternoon than at a graveyard celebrating the greatest Philadelphia noir writer:

"January Cold came in from two rivers, formed four walls around hart and closed in on him." -- Black Friday

The night of January 25 is the anniversary of the death of David Loeb Goodis according to the Hebrew calendar.  In honor of the Great Philadelphia Noir Writer, Louis Boxer and Aaron Finestone are planning a gathering to remember David Goodis on the afternoon of January 25 at Roosevelt Memorial Park, 2701 Old Lincoln Highway, Trevose, PA 19053.

The grave is located at Section B-3, Lot 324, Grave 3.

Ceremony at 2PM, followed by a gathering at a nearby restaurant.

At graveside, we will read excerpts from David Goodis' coldest, most gripping works.
