Somehow, it's been well over a year since we last checked in on the northeast corner of Broad & Locust. And as you can imagine, things are looking quite different there since our last visit. Back then, we told you that Pearl Properties had purchased a two low rise structures at the corner and a

The 1700 block of N. Bodine Street is pretty rough. The western side of the street has two homes, and the rest of the properties on that side of the street are seemingly used as rear yard space for homes on 3rd Street. The east side of the block is

So it was no surprise that last night's community meeting regarding this property was incredibly well attended. We counted

In many neighborhoods across Philadelphia, community groups are the backbone of neighborhood volunteerism, organizing events, improving safety, coordinating cleanups, and so on. They've played an important role in development for many years as well, hosting meetings for projects requiring a variance and relaying neighborhood feedback for consideration by the ZBA.

Traveling down Front Street the other day, a sign caught our eye on the building at 1600 N. Front St. offering it up as a development opportunity. When we snapped a photo of the building and the aforementioned sign, we figured we'd share that the property is listed for sale and recommend

This building, located at 2101 Washington Ave., has been sitting vacant since Frankford Candy's last chocolate rabbit came off the line over a decade ago. A few different development plans came come
