Through thick and thin, we love our sports teams in this town. And we're also quite fond of our museums. So why, exactly, has nobody combined the two as of yet? Lou Scheinfeld wants to be the one who does it. Scheinfeld is 81 years old and has worked in

June is here and we have ice cream on the brain. Thankfully, Philadelphia is chock full of options, from old school Bassettsto new school Little Baby's and many others in between. Potts ice cream no longer exists as an independent company, having been absorbed by Bassetts, but its former factory at 2001 North St. remains

A reader reached out to us today, frustrated about a trio of buildings on the 900 block of S. 3rd Street that have been sitting empty for a long time. 933-37 S. 3rd St. may sit across the street from the Southwark PHA homes, but they are also very close to some

Three properties on the 1900 block of Christian Street have been stuck in purgatory for the last several years, but it seems that a resolution has finally arrived. Turning back the clock, the Christian Medical Center made its home at 1929-33 Christian St. for a number of years, with stucco covering the

We've had a soft spot in our heart for the 700 block of South Street for a long time. Right out of college, we had a friend that had a (much nicer than expected) apartment above the liquor store and another friend that lived in one of those weird fortress-like

It's our job to ramble about the city, seeking out new and (sometimes) exciting development situations. Over the course of these ramblings, we not only find all sorts of projects, but we also regularly stumble upon unexpected features of the Philadelphia cityscape. For example, we were taking a walk through

A reader reached out to us the other day, wondering about a new hole in the ground on the 1300 block of Frankford Avenue. This block is one of our favorites in Fishtown, as it's home to La Colombe, Jinxed, and Kensington Quarters, among other businesses. And it's also steps away from the

It's been a little while since we last checked in on the 3000 block of W. Stiles Street, as our last visit came over three years ago when we told you about a quartet of homes that were getting renovated. Like many others in Brewerytown, this block has been trending up in

Chain link fence is a very important part of our job. When we're cruising around town looking for stuff to write about, the sight of chain link fence is often a cue that development is brewing. Often, without knowing anything whatsoever about a property, we'll snap a couple of photos
