Maybe it's just because we love cool old buildings, but our favorite part of HBO's The Gilded Age is seeing what the fabulous mansions of the era looked like in their heyday, or at least Hollywood's efforts to recreate them. We don't think we'd want to travel back in time

Over the years we've written quite a bit about North Broad Street, covering projects like the 344 units at Broad + Noble (located at Broad & Noble, 'natch), 410 units at LVL North at Broad & Spring Garden, and many others. And the revamping continues on North Broad. We strolled

The Philadelphia Art Commission posted their August agenda this morning and it surprisingly included a settlement between the City of Philadelphia and the Frank L. Rizzo Monument Committee on the fate of the Frank Rizzo Statue. This statue once stood in front of the Municipal Services Building at 1401 JFK

Kensington Avenue under the El has had an understandably rocky reputation over the last number of years, as it has essentially been ground zero for the city's opiod crisis. Through this lens, it was a mildly shocking development in 2021 when Càphê Roasters opened at J-Centrel, a live work building

Once you step off Passyunk Avenue, the East Passyunk neighborhood is dominated by single family homes, sitting on small to medium sized lots. When you happen upon a larger parcel, like the nearly 12K sqft property at 1601 S. 9th St., you can usually rely on there being some interesting

The two-story parking garage at 510 S. 8th St. was constructed in the early part of the 20th century and has likely provided off-street parking for tens of thousands of autos over the years. The garage replaced a secondhand building supply yard and probably felt like a big step in

When we reported this spring on plans to open a comedy club in the basement of the two-story building at 1123 S. Broad St., we were optimistic that the project had a clear path to approval. The business was able to pull a zoning permit for a sit-down restaurant, but
