Looking over the calendar for upcoming ZBA hearings, we spied a little project immediately next door to another project we recently covered. It was just a few days ago that we showed you the newest phase of Spring Arts Point, six homes now gettting framed out at the corner of

The 2000 block of Gerritt Street has experienced some changes since we last visited about a year and a half ago. At that time, vacant lots outnumbered buildings and there was one new home under construction on the block.Today, there are six new homes on the block, with a few

When we learned about plans for a PHS Pop Up Garden at the NKCDC garden center at 1825 Frankford Ave., the idea seemed like an altogether intuitive concept. Philly Compost has used part of this 10K sqft lot since 2011, but from what we understand the rest of the property is generally

In October of 2013, we were at the ZBA for some reason and noticed that 2841 W. Girard Ave. was on the agenda. Our minds were soon blown when the property went before the Board and we learned that the guys from Pizza Brain were looking to open a new

Sometimes we have an idea for a post but then we do some research and the concept changes completely. This was very much the case in this instance, regarding the buildings that house Katz Foam & Fabric on the 800 block of N. 5th Street. Surely you've noticed the excellent
