Hagert Street between Jasper and Emerald has undergone incredible change over the last number of years, and there's more change brewing. When we were in the neighborhood the other day, we happened upon a new hole in the ground at 1914 E. Hagert St., next to a large blue garage. This

The northeast corner of 9th & Locust is a bit of a curiosity. In this high rent part of town, you simply wouldn't expect to see a pair of building like 229 and 231 S. 9th St., slowly decomposing as they sit vacant. Last year, we gave you the lowdown on

A reader tipped us off recently about a big new building currently getting framed at 222 Vine St., and we're kinda amazed it hasn't come onto our radar previously. For whatever reason, a one story building was constructed at this address back in 1960, a structure that has housed an

Without thinking too hard about it, you would readily agree that a car wash isn't the highest and best use for a 16K sqft property on the 4100 block of Chestnut. And yet, if you visit this block and direct your attention to 4125 Chestnut St., you'll see the Chestnut

It shouldn't require much digging in the ol' memory bank to remember the story we wrote yesterday about an apartment building that's under construction on Kensington Avenue. In case you stayed up late to watch the World Series, allow us to jog your memory. 2411 Kensington Ave. used to look like

A couple of readers have reached out to us of late, wondering about some ongoing construction on 11th Street in Bella Vista. There's been a warehouse at 1011 S. 11th St. going back to the 1800s, surely because of its close proximity to Washington Avenue. We aren't sure about the

Over the last few years, we've covered numerous projects on Front Street, watching as this long blighted corridor has slowly come back to life. Intuitively, Front Street's comeback makes sense, with Fishtown booming on one side and South Kensington rapidly improving on the other. Sure, the sound and shadow of

We were passing through Point Breeze the other day, and spotted a relatively new hole in the ground on the 2400 block of Wharton Street, very close to Wharton Square Park. As recently as ten years ago, there were a number of vacant and blighted buildings on this part of

As recently as fifteen, twenty years ago, it made sense that J.T. Riley Lumber Co. was located at 3rd & Girard. Northern Liberties was on the upswing, but still maintained many traces of its industrial past. Girard Avenue was a major barrier, with South Kensington effectively considered the "wrong side of the (trolley) tracks." Now

What a difference a couple years have made on the 2200 block of Wilder Street. You may recall, we visited this block in early 2016 and it was in pretty rough shape. The notable feature on the block was a huge vacant lot on the south side which we assumed was entirely
