The Brewerytown boom continues, with 26th Street now getting in on the act. A reader tipped us off about some zoning notices posted at 1214 N. 26th St., a large property that's hit a bit of a rough patch in recent memory. If we turn back the clock just a few

We were making out way into South Kensington the other day, and happened to spy a 'For Sale' sign on a building at the awkward intersection of Germantown Avenue and Thompson Street. Back in 2012, we wrote about a couple of properties at this intersection, noting that the vacant building at 1301-03

Developers completed a renovation of the Eastern building last year, and it's been a revelation. Previously, this building, located at the intersection of 30th Street, Cecil B. Moore Avenue, and Glenwood Avenue, was sitting vacant and looking awful for many years. Thankfully, developers were able to preserve the building's bones

Earlier this month, we told you about a plan from Campus Apartments to demolish an attractive building at 123 S. 41st St. and build a 98 bed student housing building in its place. And we lamented that the new building wouldn't possibly hold a candle, architecturally, to the Italiante mansion that's been here for over

In PHA developments, it's common for row after row, block after block,

Lawrence Street has always been one of our favorites in Northern Liberties. It's got a mix of older and newer homes, providing a sense of the neighborhood's history, both distant and recent. It's a north-south street but not a numbered street and because it dead ends at Brown Street it

The intersection of Grays Ferry Avenue and Carpenter Street is a funny one, with several different points of interest. At the southwest corner are some large tanks associated with the Veolia plant that covers a huge swath of Devil's Pocket. On the northwest corner is a large single family home next to a

When you consider that the trolley portal at 40th & Baltimore is the busiest at-grade rail station in town, its awful condition in recent memory becomes especially egregious. But the fact that it's historically been a concrete wasteland will make its transformation into the 40th Street Trolley Portal Gardens all the more

It's been a long time since we've found ourselves on the 2000 block of Cambridge Street, half a decade to be exact. Incidentally, our last visit to this block wasn't about a new project, but to show you a handsome carriage house at 2005 Cambridge St. which dated back to the

The Friends of Bainbridge Green are looking to reclaim the strip of land that runs down the middle of Bainbridge Street between 3rd Street and 5th Street, as we've told you a few times before. We've previously explained that this strip of land exists as a remnant of Bainbridge Market, an outdoor
