We were rolling through the neighborhood the other day and noticed this on the front of 2459-63 Frankford Ave.

Looking at the building you'd think it was one property- but it isn't.

Recently, a buyer purchased the 12 foot-wide section of the building seen on the right, but two additional segments of

At the end of July, we mentioned a parklet in front of Honest Tom's Taco shop and the Lil Pop Shop that was on the way —well on August 23rd, it made its premiere. And as we mentioned last week when we covered the new Pumpkin parklet on South Street West, we're seeing more

About a year ago, we last brought news to you of a new parking garage rising at 1324-42 Arch St., across from the expanded Convention Center.

You may recall, we told you over a year ago about developer Steve Rodriguez's plan to build a four story, mixed-use building on the triangular lot at 24th & Grays Ferry. The building, by Campbell Thomas and LABhaus, had been delayed for quite some time because of appeals by a cabal of near neighbors,

If you've been conscious in Philadelphia for more than five minutes, you're acutely aware that we are in possession of a vast number of excellent museums featuring all kinds of fascinating things to see. While Rocky (and the design of the Benjamin Franklin Parkway) made the Philadelphia Museum of Art

A few days ago, we wondered about the failed Cherry Street West development on 23rd Street, between Race and Cherry. In that post, we shared a photo of the long-closed sales office, in a building just to the south of the surface parking lot that was supposed to be home
