Lee's Deli, a West Philly institution since 1993 and home to such unique creations as the Game Over Cheesesteak is sporting quite the makeover, a $20,000 makeover, to be precise. "A miracle," Scott Lee called it. The credit, he said, goes not only to his family but to "Mr. Jon Potter and Patricia Blakely." Potter is economic development manager of the University City District, and Blakely runs the Merchants Fund, which offers grants to small businesses. Family-owned companies are a vital asset to our neighborhoods and corridors," Blakely said in an e-mail.
