Because the 25th Street viaduct makes things generally less hospitable, 25th Street south of Washington boasts a range of businesses that you wouldn't necessarily want to see on South Street. Angelo's Marble and Granite has a large yard full of stone slabs at 25th & Ellsworth. When someone stole and wrecked our

This historic building at 1600 Callowhill St. has probably caught your eye at some point, somewhere along the line, even if you've never set foot inside. The handsome structure was built at the beginning of the 20th century and was once home to the Middishade Clothing Factory. It was added to the

A reader reached out last week, wondering about the opportunity represented by a large property listed for sale in the Grays Ferry neighborhood. 2844 Tasker St. is indeed sizable, with a 61' depth and running 280' along Dover Street. The 17K+ sqft lot is listed for sale for $900K and relatively little creativity a

Cianfrani Park is great, isn't it? As we told you previously, two different stately school buildings once stood on this property at the northeast corner of 8th & Fitzwater, and while it would have been ideal for either to have been preserved, this little community park is a pretty terrific alternative.

It was just a few months ago that we visited the southwest corner of 16th & Ogden to tell you about some new duplexes under construction from Stamm Development. At that time, there was construction fence at 830 N. 16th St., a new building at 834 N. 16th St., and a

In a bit of an odd turn for a controversial project, it seems like Toll Brothers is reducing the height of the condo building they're planning to build on Jewelers Row. A reminder, last summer Toll Brothers came out with a plan to demolish the buildings at 702-10 Sansom St. and replace them with

When we heard about the liquidation auction at the shuttered Taj Mahal in Atlantic City, we felt an odd compulsion to check it out. Sure, we were intrigued by the thought of buying some deeply discounted artwork or maybe a new nightstand, but the idea of getting inside the building

The 1400 block of S. Darien Street is rather hidden, only accessible via the 800 block of Reed Street and dead ending before reaching Wilder Street. Because it's a little off the beaten path, it turns out we haven't visited this block in years. And while it has undergone some

As Walnut Street has become too expensive for many retailers, the western side of Chestnut Street has experienced a resurgence of late, as new stores have breathed life into the corridor. With all the additional commerce, we've been reminded on multiple occasions that Chestnut Street has a great stock of

Going down 21st Street, it still feels weird not to see the Please Touch Museum building, as it was demolished last summer. As we told you previously, the building wasn't listed on the Historic Register and as a result US Construction was able to demolish it in favor of plans for eight mansions. The
