Like so many other blocks in Fishtown, the only constant is change on the 1100 block of E. Hewson Street. We were in that neck of the woods the other day and spied some new homes getting framed at 1120-28 E. Hewson St., on a parcel that was previously worse

Doggie Style opened a location at the southwest corner of 3rd & Poplar over a decade ago, in a junky looking industrial building. This was a great outcome for the property at the time, as it provided neighborhood pet owners with a go-to pet store. Over time, the corner has

Logan Square is a neighborhood with numerous high end homes that also boasts easy access to downtown Philadelphia on one end and the Ben Franklin Parkway on the other.
