We got a tip from a reader about some construction activity on Federal St., and we found crews working at two different sites.

At 2027 Federal St., workers recently started framing what will soon be a three story house. The developer, Harte Investments, built 2029 Federal St., the house next door,

Just a stone's throw away from Temple University at 1314 N. Broad Street, the Legendary Blue Horizon currently sits unused. The building has a long and interesting history: built in 1865 in the French Second Empire architectural style (same as City Hall) as three separate mansions for rich guys, it

Back in July, we wondered what might come to replace Illuminare at 2321 Fairmount Ave. One astute commenter suggested Mexican, and how right they were.

For, it’s ¡Ándale! ¡Ándale! ¡Arriba! ¡Arriba! for Fairmount, which has been patiently waiting for better south-of-the-border dining options. By January, La Calaca Feliz, or “the happy

If you have a child who attends the Philadelphia School or you simply live in the neighborhood, you've definitely noticed the construction activity going on at the corner of 25th and Lombard Sts. throughout the summer.

A reader asked us about a newish foundation they noticed on tiny Clymer St. in the Graduate Hospital neighborhood.

Clymer St. only runs for two blocks in the neighborhood. The 2000 block is almost exclusively for rear (and often parking) access for homes on the 2000 blocks of Fitzwater and St.

Just a few weeks ago, we updated y'all about the progress at a ten home development at 19th and Catharine Sts. Whelp, the builders, Brickhouse Developers, are moving awfully quickly. The five eastern homes are fully framed, and the foundations are poured for the western side of the development. At

With all the hoopla and hubbub surrounding the recently opened Superfresh at 2nd and Girard, it seems that the thousands of square feet of vacant commercial space on the first floor of the building have been sort of lost in the shuffle. We've heard some uninspiring rumors about T-Mobile, Starbucks,

Back in May, we broke the news about Kaleidoscope, a new boutique coming to the former Matthew Izzo space at 151 N. 3rd St.  We hadn't been able to uncover many clues about the new spot, and none of our sources really knew what kind of place it was going to
