It was roughly two years back that we told you about the Moyer Street Project, a plan to investigate reinvigorating the cruddy 2400 block of Moyer Street, right off of Aramingo Avenue. At the time, the Olde Richmond Civic Association had crafted a survey to ask neighbors what they wanted to see happen

The 1200 block of N. 7th St. is very much on the upswing. We've covered a couple different projects on the west side of this block, with a quartet of homes and a mixed use building appearing at the corner, along with a row of six triplexes just south of the corner. Both

We've seen a smattering of projects improve the 700 block of S. 16th St. over the last several years, as some new homes have replaced vacant lots and blighted buildings. Developers came before the community last month with a plan for another incremental improvement for the block, looking to demolish

It's been a checkered recent history for 1934 E. Passyunk Ave., but we're optimistic that things are about to turn a corner for this property. For many years, this building was home to a bar/restaurant called Colombo's. In its later years though, Colombo's was hardly in operation, and several signs on

Four years ago, we told you about plans for Liberty Square, a massive mixed-use project from Blackstone Development planned for a large parcel bordered by Thompson Street, N. American Street, Stiles Street, and Germantown Avenue. Then... we waited. And we waited some more. At the end of 2014, it looked like construction was getting

We made a trip to Ikea over the weekend, and we took Tasker Street to head back into town, with a planned detour at the Dutch for some delicious brunch food. On our way to enjoy some sweet Dutch babies, we happened upon a Demolition Notice on the 200 block of Tasker Street, on

The Delaware waterfront was once a hub of industry, as ships delivered raw goods, factories produced stuff while belching waste into the river, and other ships collected the new stuff and took it away. That's not the case anymore, at least not in the vicinity of Center City. Still, we've
