As Point Breeze has experienced a significant wave of redevelopment over the last number of years, countless blocks have experienced major changes, generally swapping vacant land or blighted buildings for new construction. Among all these blocks, we'd nominate the 2000 block of Wharton Street as the one that's experienced the most significant transformation

A couple months back, we drew your attention to a little two-home development on the 2200 block of S. 6th Street, across from Mifflin Square. We commented that we don't typically write about projects of this size, but justified the worthiness of the post due to the location, south of Snyder Avenue and

Anyone that's spent time in the Logan Square neighborhood is surely familiar with the Cresswell Iron Works building, even if they didn't know anything about its history. Between 1885 and 1969, Cresswell operated out of a low rise building at 113 N. 23rd St., producing a variety of iron products, like columns, lintels, brackets,

Fishtown is a highly desirable neighborhood with one of the best commercial corridors in town. South Kensington has seen a dramatic spike in developer interest over the last several years, with projects large and small filling gaps throughout the neighborhood. Front Street is the border between these neighborhoods, and despite

Penn's campus ends at 40th Street on the western side and on Chestnut Street to the north, but student housing extends for many blocks in both directions. While Penn students have lived off campus forever, the last decade has seen a dramatic increase in the distance that students are willing to travel to

The past and present of Ridge Avenue in Francisville are pretty well worn territory on this blog, but in case today is your first day on the site, here's the (mostly) tldr version: This section of Ridge Avenue was once an active commercial corridor. Then the neighborhood endured decades of

It was just a few months ago that we directed your attention to a renovation project taking place at 925 N. Broad St., a property most commonly associated with the City Blue location on its first floor. The upper floors of this building have sat vacant for several years, an
