Between running a record label and a development company, David Grasso was kind enough to take a moment and send us the renderings for his contested 7,600-square-foot music venue on Richmond and Beach Streets next to 95 in Kensington. Live Nation will operate the 3,000-person-capacity live theater/concert space if city

We came across this 1952 home in the "woodlands" of East Falls on more than an acre of land. Who knew!? Unfortunately it is occupied, so we used our internet sleuth skills to get more info on the home, in a way that wouldn't land us in jail for B&E.

Rebecca Popowsky and Riggs Skepnek designed the winning woodland Bambooze shelter as part of the Gimme Shelter showcase for the Schuylkill Center for Environmental Education, a 350-acre nature preserve in the Roxborough neighborhood of Philadelphia. The Gimme Shelter competition was meant to build awareness of sustainability, encouraging collaboration between designers to promote

Dr. Martens' second east coast location will be the old Harry & David spot at 1710 Walnut Street. Michael Barmash and Michael Kahan of Colliers International sent us the renderings for what the new 3,800-square-foot space will look like. New York-based Green Light Studios have designed something almost exactly similar to the

St. Monica Manor, a Catholic healthcare facility owned by the Archdiocese of Philadelphia and located at 2509 S. Fourth Street, is undergoing complete renovation and expansion.
