We woke up today feeling rather depressed. And when we're feeling down, we find that the best way to get past it is with a distraction, ideally some kind of project. If you're in the same boat, might we offer up 839 N. 20th St. as the distraction the doctor

Around this time last year, we reported on the upcoming demolition and development plans for a property at 1823 Callowhill St., across the street from the Granary Apartments.

We didn't even know where to find the 1200 block of N. Etting Street as recently as February, yet a few days ago, we visited the block for the third time this year. A couple of readers had tipped us off about some heretofore unnoticed construction in the area so

Originally known as “Rodin Square”, the Dalian on the Park development near the Benjamin Franklin Parkway has been making major news lately, as the brand new Whole Foods Market, which takes up the majority of the building's retail space, recently opened up.
