The 2000 block of Lombard Street is unlike any other in the city, with the Lombard Swim Club covering about half of the south side and a large parking garage taking up about a third of the north side of the block, and a bunch of homes filling things out.

Inspired by a reader tip, we took a trip up to the beautiful riverside neighborhood of East Falls the other week. 3460 Midvale Ave. was once the property of Redeemer Lutheran Church, which was closed after a sad and politically messy property rights battle between the congregation and the Lutheran Synod

We were looking throught the zoning calendar for this month and we were surprised to see that the property at 614 N. Front St. is scheduled for a ZBA hearing in the coming weeks. Currently, this double wide property is half one-story building and half two-story building, though we couldn't

You've probably driven, biked, or walked past the large property at 212 N. 8th St. countless times over the years, and like us, perhaps you never paid it much mind. Granted, we're generally predisposed against surface parking lots, but given the location of this property on the edges of Chinatown

The south side of the 1100 block of Market Street has undergone major changes of late, and more are on the way. Dating back to the 1960s, an ugly two-story edifice stood here, the tattered remains of what was once the Snellenburg's department store. In recent decades, a collection of

A couple of readers have reached out to us in the last couple days to let us know that construction has gotten started on a small mixed-use project at 907 Leland St. in Francisville. If you were paying attention when we last covered this property back in September, you'll know
