There's a section of the 4600 block of Sansom Street between 46th Street and Farragut Street that's been rather bleak for at least the last decade, probably going back many more years. A single building on the south side of the block has survived the passage of time, with two huge

The last few years have brought significant changes for the Studebaker building at 667 N. Broad St., and the next couple of years will bring even more changes. In 2011, the Ridge Avenue men's shelter closed its doors due to in part to an effort from HUD to move away from

We're unapologetically pro-development here at Naked Philly (we're owned by a real estate developer, after all), but every now and then we encounter a project that we struggle to get behind. Such is the case at 1857 N. Willington St., where a new triplex is currently under construction. Developers bought

We actually thought we wrote about this project before, but when we were researching our story from earlier this week about three new homes coming to 7th & Morris, we realized we'd never shared the news that new homes are coming soon to the 600 blocks of Moore and Pierce

When we first visited the 1100 block of S. Syndenham Street back in the fall of 2013, we were very excited to share the news that a blighted building would get renovated and that developers would soon build two new homes. This was particularly noteworthy because at that time, the

A reader gave us the heads up the other day about some construction activity on the 3600 block of Spring Garden Street, a block that has somehow escaped our attention over the years. The construction we discovered was taking place at a three-building apartment complex at 3608-3612 Spring Garden St. with

South Kensington is getting some more homes, it seems. For the last couple of years at least, there's been a sign on the one-story garage at 1417-1419 N. Howard St., advertising that the building is available for lease. Since nobody was interested in renting the building, it'll soon get torn

Doesn't it bug you when you come home after a long day at work and find a take-out menu from a pizza place you've never heard of jammed into your mailbox? Alas. Maybe a decade ago, we came home to find a menu from a pizza place hilariously named "The

It was just a couple of months ago that we last visited the 1200 block of N. Etting St., a Brewerytown block that's seriously seen some better days. This block might have seen more redevelopment by now, considering its close proximity to improving Girard Avenue corridor, but it's a little

The intersection of Moyamensing Avenue and Wharton Street is one of the more satisfying in Pennsport, with the unique looking Caffe Valentino on the northwest corner and the wonderful and still newish Pennsport Beer Boutique on the southwest corner. We were making a run to Target yesterday and passed this intersection,
