We promise, we'll eventually stop being surprised about the continual southern shifting of the development border in Point Breeze. But that day is not today, folks. Last spring, we visited the 1900 block of Fernon Street and noted that this street, formerly overrun by vacancy, had six homes under construction.

A little less than a month ago, we told you that the vacant former church at 1734 Ridge Ave. would soon be demolished, but we didn't know for sure what would rise in its place. A reader tipped us off, having attended a community meeting last week where Loonstyn Properties

First Friday fans had better watch out, because parking is getting more difficult in Old City. As development continues to flourish in Philadelphia, we're seeing heaps of surface parking lots get bought up and built up nowadays.

Yesterday, we told you about a community meeting at which developers presented plans for the renovation of the Edward Corner building at 1100 N. Delaware Ave. and the construction of a new mixed-use building next door, and we told you that we'd provide renderings as soon as the CDR site

Famous 4th Street Delicatessen has one of the more accurately descriptive names you'll ever see in the restaurant business. It is indeed on 4th Street, specifically where 4th Street hits Bainbridge at the top of Fabric Row. It's very much a deli, serving gigantic meat sandwiches and baking all sorts

It was three and a half years ago that we first brought the Edward Corner building at 1100 N. Delaware Ave. to your attention, wondering when development would catch up to this relic of a bygone maritime age. We learned about the 2010 plan to renovate the building and create
