The Logan Square neighborhood has been a desirable part of town for decades, meaning most of the buildable lots were developed long ago. As a result, it's news any time there's a project of any size in this neighborhood, as they don't come around very often. Of course, the bigger the

A reader reached out the other day, giving us the heads up that construction is finally moving forward at 1019 E. Columbia Ave., a mere five years after we first looked at the property. Back then, developers had purchased this large parcel at the intersection of Columbia Ave. and Salmon

Often, when we visit a part of town with an agenda to write about a specific project, we'll meander around the general area looking for other ongoing projects that we might not have known about. Given the number of projects that have taken place on Front Street north of Girard
