There's been a church at the southeast corner of Broad & Jefferson since shortly before the Civil War, with the Incarnation Protestant Episcopal Church making its home here for about a century. We don't know what that church looked like, as it was torn down in the 1960s and replaced by

We never really want to leave the comforts of Philadelphia, but still find ourselves going on the occasional vacation. And when planning a trip, a major decision point is whether a hotel or an Airbnb is the right choice in terms of accommodations. This decision-making process has become so second nature, one

We've always appreciated the architecture of two yellow buildings at the corner of 19th & Harper, even though they've been showing their age for quite some time. That condition is probably due to the fact that metalworker Komplete Welding occupied the two buildings for a number of years, and let's

East Kensington has flourished over the last several years, mostly because it's directly adjacent to Fishtown, and its lighter home prices have attracted buyers that want to live in this part of town on a lower budget.

Later this summer, developers Temple Nest Apartments will got to the ZBA, seeking a variance to build a four-story building at 3526 Mount Vernon St., on a parcel that's currently sitting vacant. The building, as proposed, would contain 18 apartments which we have to think would target a student population, given

A couple readers have reached out of late, wondering about ongoing and upcoming changes at the intersection of 22nd & Christian. And the curiosity is understandable, given the surprising amount of action here, in a neighborhood that sees less and less construction these days. Let's go around the horn, shall we?Maybe

We were traveling up North Broad Street the other day and noticed some significant progress on the new building at 1310 N. Broad St., a project we first told you about a year and a half ago. You may recall, an unimpressive two story building stood at this address, which was most

If you're traveling through or near Callowhill, there's a new building under construction that's quite eye catching. Sure, any construction in any part of town makes our radar bleep, but this particular project would draw the attention of even the most oblivious phone gazer due to one very specific characteristic-
