We'd posit that the northeast corner of 26th & Pine is one of the most attractive locations in the city. It's in adorable Fitler Square, it's steps away from Schuylkill River Park, and so very close to the trail. Plus Jezabel's Cafe is right across the street and everyone loves empanadas. Oddly

If we were to hop into our Delorean and travel back a mere three years, we'd see a vast vacant swath of land on Frankford Avenue just past Norris Street, a mix of properties owned by the City and private investors. Back in 2015, we shared the news that Domestic Goods LLC

The 800 block of N. Uber Street is a lovely little block with a pocket park at its southern end, but it's got some development on the horizon for both sides of the street.On the east side of the street, you can see a big new building at 815-17 N.

The Roberts Center for Pediatric Research has been under construction for the last several years, a dramatic addition to the western side of the largely residential Graduate Hospital neighborhood. The building has about half a million sqft of space dedicated to office space and research for CHOP, and will house over

If you're in the restaurant business in Philadelphia, it's likely you've spent some quality time on 2nd Street in Old City, buying supplies and/or equipment for your establishment.

We stopped dead in our tracks earlier today as we passed by the 17th & Bainbridge intersection and spotted a demolition notice on the front door of the New Light Beulah Baptist Church on the northwest corner. According to a publication from the Preservation Alliance, the building was originally constructed around 1870 as the First

About a year ago, we visited the 1500 block of Brown Street and noted that several projects were in the pipeline for the block, though most were not evident to the casual observer at the time. The most obvious project was happening at the northeast corner of 16th & Brown, where developers

We were scanning the zoning calendar today and noticed a plan for three properties at the corner of Carlisle & Jefferson, two of which are currently sitting vacant. According to public record, Templetown Properties owns the building at 1603 Jefferson St. while the City owns the two empty lots next

From what we can tell from looking at the architecture and considering the history of the area, we have to think that 906 N. Broad St. was originally built as a car dealership. Today, the rather large but boring one-story building has been chopped up and is home to a Family Dollar, a

The Brewerytown Garden, located at the corner of 27th & Master, is one of the more successful community garden spaces we can think of, offhand. The garden was initially established like half a dozen years ago as Marathon Garden, a farm to table operation associated with Marathon Grill. By 2015, Marathon was
