It was only back in June when we last provided an update on the proposed 76 Place arena that has plans to rise at 11th & Market where the Fashion District currently resides. New renderings were released, giving more details to how the arena would fit into the area and

Despite spending countless hours traversing the streets of West Philadelphia, we haven't spent much time exploring Brandywine Realty Trust and Drexel's Schuylkill Yards as of late. This mixed-use neighborhood was announced several years back, with plans for soaring towers featuring residential, office, lab, hotel, and commercial space across the 14

To assume things will remain the same for 70 odd years tends to be a fool's errand. Even the most solid and sturdy of people, places, or things tend to transform a bit as the seventh decade of existence wraps up. Now that we've tickled that existential itch, we zoom

The area around Temple's campus isn't necessarily the most beautiful part of the city. With an unfortunate number of empty lots and decrepit buildings, the line between the shiny campus and the grittier surroundings can be quite stark. Thanks to a recent demo permit (more on that in a minute),

The rhythms of the city never stop, including from a business perspective. New stores of all varieties open and close constantly, serving the ~1.6 million residents within the city limits (plus the tourists too). The storefronts at 27-29 S. 2nd St., in the heart of Old City's restaurant row (go

We've waxed poetic about the Workshop of the World and the changing nature of the Riverwards more often than James Harden expresses displeasure with his current team. But certain events serve as more momentous harbingers to change than others. This year's demolition of the colloquially named Galvo, the former heavy
