We were meandering around West Philly last week and happened upon a new building under construction on a block of 46th Street we'd visited once before. You might remember, almost exactly a year ago we told you about 223 S. 46th St., a new construction single-family home that was doing

Not only is Rybrew a great place to grab a tasty sandwich and a beer, but it's also a great place to get work done if, like us, you're a blogger about town. Looking out the front of this business on the 2800 block of W. Girard Ave., we see

A fire tore through 2122 Locust St. back in January, injuring two firefighters and leaving the residents of 21 apartments without a place to live. The 4-alarm fire was so intense that demolition was considered as the only option for the building. But the edifice has quite a bit of

The incredible transformation of Ridge Avenue is Francisville is probably one of the biggest development stories in town over the last few years, but somehow it seems like it's been flying under the radar.
