Esteemed developer Virgil Procaccino has an agreement of sale to purchase the Pain Center, located on the southeast corner of 12th and Lombard Sts.

Last fall, we wondered about the fate of the building that last held The Witch, a short-lived neighborhood bar in Pennsport. At the time, the property, 1401 E.

Last May, we told you about the first supermarket coming to Brewerytown in almost two decades. But that project was delayed due to a lack of funding.
