It shouldn't require much digging in the ol' memory bank to remember the story we wrote yesterday about an apartment building that's under construction on Kensington Avenue. In case you stayed up late to watch the World Series, allow us to jog your memory. 2411 Kensington Ave. used to look like

A couple of readers have reached out to us of late, wondering about some ongoing construction on 11th Street in Bella Vista. There's been a warehouse at 1011 S. 11th St. going back to the 1800s, surely because of its close proximity to Washington Avenue. We aren't sure about the

Over the last few years, we've covered numerous projects on Front Street, watching as this long blighted corridor has slowly come back to life. Intuitively, Front Street's comeback makes sense, with Fishtown booming on one side and South Kensington rapidly improving on the other. Sure, the sound and shadow of

We were passing through Point Breeze the other day, and spotted a relatively new hole in the ground on the 2400 block of Wharton Street, very close to Wharton Square Park. As recently as ten years ago, there were a number of vacant and blighted buildings on this part of

As recently as fifteen, twenty years ago, it made sense that J.T. Riley Lumber Co. was located at 3rd & Girard. Northern Liberties was on the upswing, but still maintained many traces of its industrial past. Girard Avenue was a major barrier, with South Kensington effectively considered the "wrong side of the (trolley) tracks." Now

What a difference a couple years have made on the 2200 block of Wilder Street. You may recall, we visited this block in early 2016 and it was in pretty rough shape. The notable feature on the block was a huge vacant lot on the south side which we assumed was entirely

We last visited the 26th & Poplar intersection about a year ago, when we told you that construction was getting started on the northeast corner on a pair of mixed-use buildings with a combined 12 units and 3 retail spaces. We were thrilled that the property was getting redeveloped, but

We would posit that Frankford Avenue is one of the great success stories of the current real estate cycle. If we turn back the clock even a decade, this corridor was nothing to write home about, a mix of corner bars, industrial buildings, vacant lots, and a smattering of local

We've visited the 1300 block of N. Marston St. a couple of times over the years, both times promising some major change on the horizon. In 2015, we showed you three rehabs on the western side of the block and speculated that the former industrial buildings across the street could

We've always had an appreciation for the building at 1801-03 Fairmount Ave., with its curved facade at the corner and its metal cornice above the first floor. We wonder about the building's history, whether there was ever more than just one story at the corner, and what kind of businesses
