Via Bicycle was a fixture in the Bella Vista neighborhood for two decades, operating out of a large space on 9th Street just south of South Street. Earlier this year though, we shared the news that Via Bicycle was moving to a new location on South Broad Street, as their longtime

Meandering around Northern Liberties last week, we got caught behind a trash truck and took a turn onto the narrow Saint John Neumann Way to make our way around. You may not be familiar with this street, as it's as narrow as its name is cumbersome. It runs southwest, starting at

It's probable that you've noticed the large vacant warehouse at 9th & Poplar at some point over the years, and perhaps you've wondered why it exists and whether it could get redeveloped at some point. We've certainly noticed it many times, and back in 2015 we wrote about it and mentioned

Saint Laurentius Church was built at 1608 E. Berks St. in 1882, and now there's a growing possibility that the building will not make it to its next birthday. But let's back up for a second, in case you haven't been carefully following this story.In 2013, the Archdiocese closed the Saint Laurentius

From the first time we set foot in the Boyd-turned Sameric shortly before it closed, we've had a bit of an obsession with old movie theaters. Numerous beautiful cinemas once dotted the Philadelphia cityscape, but as the years have rolled along, many of those buildings have met the wrecking ball. A handful

We were zipping around Brewerytown the other day, sniffing out some leads, when some recent demolition caught our attention at the southeast corner of 30th & Thompson. We've written about this property several times in the past, first in the summer of 2013, when we learned it was changing hands and

Remember last week, when we told you about an upcoming Washington Square West Civic Association zoning meeting where they were going to hear about a new condo tower planned for the northeast corner of Broad & Pine? At the time that we shared this information, we provided some of the basic details about the

New Deal Restaurant made its home at 1600 Fairmount Ave. for over a decade, serving greasy spoon fare at relatively reasonable prices while getting atrocious Yelp reviews. The business shuttered in 2015 though, and their space has been available for rent, pretty much ever since. Most recently, the 1,800 sqft

It wasn't even forty years ago that developers decided to build an awful modernist building at 200 N 16th St., alongside the similarly horrible Sheraton Hotel. These buildings were constructed as part of the unrealized plan for the Franklintown neighborhood, an effort that resulted in a whole lot of eminent domain activity from

The Art Moderne-style building at 230 N. 13th St. is easy to miss, sitting on the edge of Chinatown and mere steps from the Vine Street Expressway. But the building has some amazing history to it, above and beyond its architecture, which landed it on the Historic Register back in 2008. The building has
