A few days ago, we told you about plans to demolish a long vacant warehouse at the corner of 10th & Mount Vernon, and to build a row of five duplexes in its place. To the east and the west of that project are homes that are part of Spring

We try to visit the 4000 block of Baring Street every few months, as this block as been the epicenter for student housing development in West Powelton over the last half decade. More often than not, we find something new and exciting when we visit. We thought this was the

We last visited the 2000 block of E. Letterly St. in the fall of 2015, telling you about several new townhomes that were in various stages of the construction process. Since that time, as you can probably guess, all of those homes are finished and sold, with prices ranging between

Though we've probably passed by on numerous occasions, the vacant lot at 3200 Baring St. somehow escaped our attention until quite recently. The parcel is a nice size, about 7,500 sqft, and sits across the street from Drexel Park, on the edge of Drexel's campus.A sign on the fence around the

To state the obvious, Francisville has changed considerably since 2009. Back then, Inga Saffron wrote a story about the neighborhood, and started it thusly: "Francisville is by no means one of Philadelphia's hottest places to live -- at least not yet. Plenty of people have never heard of the modest
