The intersection of Grays Ferry Avenue and Carpenter Street is a funny one, with several different points of interest. At the southwest corner are some large tanks associated with the Veolia plant that covers a huge swath of Devil's Pocket. On the northwest corner is a large single family home next to a

When you consider that the trolley portal at 40th & Baltimore is the busiest at-grade rail station in town, its awful condition in recent memory becomes especially egregious. But the fact that it's historically been a concrete wasteland will make its transformation into the 40th Street Trolley Portal Gardens all the more

It's been a long time since we've found ourselves on the 2000 block of Cambridge Street, half a decade to be exact. Incidentally, our last visit to this block wasn't about a new project, but to show you a handsome carriage house at 2005 Cambridge St. which dated back to the

The Friends of Bainbridge Green are looking to reclaim the strip of land that runs down the middle of Bainbridge Street between 3rd Street and 5th Street, as we've told you a few times before. We've previously explained that this strip of land exists as a remnant of Bainbridge Market, an outdoor

We've been keeping tabs on the building at 4100 Chestnut St. over the years, first bringing it to your attention back in 2011.

Last summer, developers came to the community with plans to redevelop the large parcel at 1405 Frankford Ave., the longtime home of Penn Treaty Metals. By right, the developers could have built a mixed-use project with 30 units and no parking, but they instead proposed 32 units and 16 parking spaces.

The Italian Market is one of our favorite spots in town, a rare combination of tourist destination and amazing resource for people that live nearby. Whether you're seeking fresh meats, fresh pasta, mostly fresh produce, aged cheeses, or the best tortillas in the city, the Italian Market has you covered.

We were making our way down N. 2nd Street in Northern Liberties the other day, and noticed a big new building on the 900 block. We've actually written about this property, 966 N. 2nd St., in the past, back in the fall of 2015. At that time, we told you that

As Fishtown and South Kensington continue to evolve from a development perspective, the retail mix on Frankford Avenue seems to get more and more appealing. Take, for example, Cheu Noodle Bar, opening this week on the 1400 block of Frankford. This block is on the rise in general, having seen the opening

South Kensington has seen all kinds of development over the last few years, and as we told you earlier this week, there are some pretty significant projects still in the pipeline. Through it all, the former Gretz Brewery at 1524 Germantown Ave. has been sitting vacant and blighted, a reminder of what so
