Several months ago, we told you about an unusual storefront for rent in Fishtown, in a new building in the middle of a six-point intersection.

A reader checked in the other day and gave us the heads up about a new liquor license application hanging in the window of 2370 E

Jay-Z's Made in America concert last weekend was a huge success, bringing thousands of locals and visitors together to rock out on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway. A week later, the ringing in our ears has disappeared, but at least one reminder of the concert remains:

Von Colln Memorial Field, located at

A reader checked in the other day, wondering why the northeast corner of 22nd & Lombard is a parking lot. Considering its stellar Fitler Square location, one would think that developers would have picked this 60'x68' property up years ago and constructed new homes on this site, probably with some

Though commonly known as the commercial thoroughfare in Mount Airy and Chestnut Hill, Germantown Avenue actually begins in Northern Liberties, running between the two Piazza complexes. Traveling just a couple of blocks to the north, Germantown Ave. transforms completely, with vacant land and several blighted buildings on either side of

The other day, when we spotted the collapsing, soon to be demolished church at 11th & Mount Vernon, we were actually in the neighborhood in the first place to check out another property that a reader had enquired about. The new construction duplex at 679 N 11th St. sticks out
