There are countless homes under construction around Philadelphia at any given time, and in an effort to avoid driving ourselves crazy, we try to limit our coverage of one-off projects. Simply put, there's usually not a whole lot to be said about a single family home getting built on a random lot

Just last week, before the Eagles were SUPER BOWL CHAMPIONS, we visited the 600 and 700 blocks of Dudley Street and told you about all the new homes on those blocks. Just a bit to the south of Dudley Street is Emily Street, where we see a similar phenomenon playing out.

We've been spending time in the southern section of Norris Square lately, picking up on a few different development projects either ongoing or in the works. And because we've found some coverage-worthy projects in this part of town, we've been cruising around the neighborhood, looking for more stuff to write about.

Turn back the clock many decades, and Columbia Avenue (now Cecil B. Moore Avenue) was the major commercial corridor in North Philadelphia. A massive riot in 1964 decimated the corridor though, and the damage was so extensive that it still hasn't really recovered. Only in recent years have we seen consistent

With excitement, we shared a story yesterday about a project planned for the 2000 block of N. 2nd St. that will involve some new construction and the residential conversion of a ten story industrial building. In general, we're always glad to hear about adaptive reuse projects, and this was no exception.

On chilly days like today, we find ourselves dreaming about hanging out on the Schuylkill River Trail on a sunny summer day. This signature public space has been growing steadily in and around Center City, with the Grays Ferry Crescent section opening in 2011, and the Locust to South boardwalk opening in 2014.

A little less than a year ago, we told you about some duplexes that were in the works for the 2100 block of N. 2nd Street. At the time, we noted the presence of a ten story warehouse building on the 2000 block of N. 2nd Street and learned, to

A shuttered school is pretty much always bad news for the community that lives near said school, for reasons that are rather self evident. Unfortunately, we saw this story play out in numerous neighborhoods across Philadelphia, as the School District closed a couple dozen schools back in 2013. Most of the former school

As a creative exercise, let's pretend that you're looking to buy a new home. In this, the age of unlimited information, you have many ways to attack this problem. You can search online, looking for new listings every morning and night. But that sounds exhausting. You can find yourself a

The area surrounding the intersection of 19th & Poplar has changed dramatically over the years, with new buildings appearing all over the place. We've seen duplexes replace a church at the southwest corner. We've seen a large tract of vacant land filled up on nearby Ginnodo Street. Developers tore down some
