Super Bowl LIX: South Philadelphia Bar Supports Kansas City Chiefs

Nestled in the eye of South Philadelphia, just about a dozen blocks from where Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley and the Eagles play each weekend, sits a corner bar that바카라�s stuffed on game days with locals who have backed this year바카라�s Super Bowl team for decades. Just not the team you might be thinking of. The banner that often hangs outside on the brick wall of Big Charlie바카라�s Saloon says it all in big, bold, red and gold letters: CHIEFS. The Chiefs shrine inside Big Charlie바카라�s makes the bar seem more fit to stand among the cluster of watering holes in Kansas City바카라�s Westport district than in one of Philly바카라�s gritty working-class neighborhoods. It바카라�s a spot where bar owner Paul Staico is as popular in these parts as Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce and the only place in town where cereal boxes of Mahomes Magic Crunch rest atop the refrigerator.
