Yesterday, we posted about the demolition of a former launderette at 21st & Federal, and also mentioned the row of homes under construction across the street. When we passed by the corner in advance of writing that post, the southwest corner, the former Burg's Lounge, was sitting vacant, as it

Perhaps you remember that the other day, we told you about four homes under construction on Chaucer Street in Packer Park, finding this notable because we don't typically see much construction in this neighborhood. It turned out if you recall, that this construction was only happening because of a fire

Just across Broad Street in Francisville, Poplar Street has been host to a flurry of rebuilding. Recently, we spied construction at 1429 Poplar St., a property we actually brought to your attention over two years ago when this project was just in its planning stages. Back then, a blighted building with

In March, we told you about plans for a bunch of apartments on the 1200 block of Noble Street, a block that we'd bypassed in the past on numerous occasions. It actually extends over 13th Street and has an entrance to the Reading Viaduct which should someday be a wonderful

Immediately to the east of the Saint Anthony's Senior Center on the 1900 block of Christian Street, a row of buildings have uglied up the block for quite some time. 1929-33 Christian St. were home to the Christian Medical Center several years ago, but the buildings got some work done

We last checked on the corner where Oxford hits Frankford Avenue back in the spring, when we told you that developers had purchased 1546 Frankford Ave. and were planning a serious renovation of the property. Passing by the other day, that effort looks like it's mostly finished. If you can

It's been a bit of a slow burn on the southeast corner of 15th & Walnut, where a new building is finally rising after years of planning. We first told you that three buildings on this corner would be demolished back in 2012, and brought you a rendering of the

We don't see it too often, but every now and then we find out about construction in Packer Park, near the stadiums. Recently, a reader, perhaps on his way to see the Sixers lose, came upon four homes under construction on the 3200 block of Chaucer Street. This seemed odd,

The pasty building at 718-724 S. 2nd St. has looked awful for many years. Most recently, Queen Village neighbors hired a lawyer to make sure a new developer who started work on the building this fall without community involvement was doing it safely.Several weeks agoFor at least the past eight years,
