The Philadelphia skyline is constantly changing. For many years, William Penn ruled the roost. More recently, skyscrapers have become the focus, and the Comcast Innovation and Technology which recently started construction will soon be the new BMOC. Through decades of change, the PNB letters atop One South Broad Street have remained

A couple of years ago, developers built "The Nine" on Tulip Street in Fishtown, across the street from Memphis Flats. At the time, the nine new LEED certified homes improved the block significantly by replacing some vacant lots, but a large vacant warehouse at the corner of Palmer Street still dragged

Over three years ago, we made our first visit to the 4000 block of Baring Street. Back then, developers were building the first wave of student housing on this block, and the tide of new construction has continued pretty much unabated ever since. As we speak (er, type) there are

Three new homes should be on the way in Fishtown at Thompson & Colona, a corner we brought to your attention last year. Back then, we showed you a long vacant home with ivy-like sideburns on it sides wall and an enormous overgrown side yard with a fancy and flowery
