Back In The Day

We just can't quit you, 4000 block of Baring Street. We were here just last week, telling you about a five unit project just getting started on the block. As we were writing that story, we were kicking ourselves for not getting decent photos of Good Food Flats, a much

Planned Pop-up Location

When we learned about plans for a PHS Pop Up Garden at the NKCDC garden center at 1825 Frankford Ave., the idea seemed like an altogether intuitive concept. Philly Compost has used part of this 10K sqft lot since 2011, but from what we understand the rest of the property is generally

Pizza Dads

In October of 2013, we were at the ZBA for some reason and noticed that 2841 W. Girard Ave. was on the agenda. Our minds were soon blown when the property went before the Board and we learned that the guys from Pizza Brain were looking to open a new

Katz Foam & Fabric

Sometimes we have an idea for a post but then we do some research and the concept changes completely. This was very much the case in this instance, regarding the buildings that house Katz Foam & Fabric on the 800 block of N. 5th Street. Surely you've noticed the excellent

Former Church Turning Into Offices

Back in the fall of 2014, we brought a development opportunity to your attention, as 1523 N. Front St. was listed for sale for $2.1M. We noted that the property included a building that had been built as the United Presbyterian Church in 1850 but had been used as a warehouse for

Newish Dunkin Donuts At The Corner, Renovation Two Doors Down

We were traveling down 21st Street the other day and some renovation work caught our eye on the 2100 block of Market Street. When we last visited this block, a former Papa Johns was under construction at the corner and we didn't know what was coming in its place. Sound

View Of The Property From Germantown Avenue

Girard Avenue, 2nd Street, and Germantown Avenue form a large triangle that's one of the more curiously underdeveloped properties in Northern Liberties. Collectively, all the properties here cover a little over an acre, but there are only two buildings on the site. One is paint store at the corner of
