While we have seemingly visited every corner in West Philadelphia over the last several months, we haven't heard much about the project at 4400 Market St., which we last told you about back in 2021. Back then, a gas station stood on the SW corner, awaiting demolition to make way

Parkside is one of our favorite neighborhoods in the entire city, with its proximity to West Fairmount Park creating a grand feeling as you see the tree-covered park across the main strip. And don't get us started on the terrific architecture. Despite projects proposed for some sites around the neighborhood

It is no secret that Northern Liberties is one of the most development-heavy areas in the entire city, with huge projects sprouting up from the northeastern corner to the southernmost reaches of the neighborhood.

After staying exclusively east of N. American St. on our last couple South Kensington journeys, we now head to 2552-66 N. 3rd St., west of this major throughway. We visit a property a block to the west of N. American St. and a block south of Lehigh Ave., where the

If we've said it once, we've said it a hundred times: strengthening to connection between Old City and Northern Liberties is one of our urbanist dreams. That pesky mess of highways and ramps - along with the superblocking of the area between Callowhill and Spring Garden St. - has led
