We'll be the first to admit that West Passyunk Avenue doesn't really hold a candle to East Passyunk. And we'd think that just about every business and property owner on either corridor would concur. But still, West Passyunk has something to offer, and some new businesses are starting to spring

We last visited the intersection of 12th Street, Morris Street, and Passyunk Avenue in the spring, some time after news broke that A Man's Image would be moving from 1709 E. Passyunk Ave. after holding down the fort at this triangular parcel for six decades. You may recall, we told

Originally known as “Rodin Square”, the Dalian on the Park development near the Benjamin Franklin Parkway has been making major news lately, as the brand new Whole Foods Market, which takes up the majority of the building's retail space, recently opened up. Only partially because we were hungry for lunch,

As the years have rolled along and Point Breeze has gotten more and more attractive to developers, we've seen heretofore ignored blocks get unexpected attention. We've spilled a ton of (proverbial) ink discussing the southern spread of construction as lots closer to Washington Avenue have become more scarce and more

The four story brownstone mansion at 2010 Walnut St. was built in 1860 and was originally owned by the  Wilkinson Sword Blade family.

We've visited the area around 42nd & Chester a disproportionate number of times over the years, mostly because of a building collapse a few years ago and the construction of a new building near Clark Park that does a remarkable job fitting in with the older homes in the neighborhood.

It looks like North Broad Street will soon get another residential tower. We saw Morgan Hall arrive on the scene in 2013, and the 27-story building at Cecil B. Moore Ave. now houses hundreds of Temple undergrads. While the Divine Lorraine isn't a new building, its renovation is nearing completion

Thanks to our unquenchable thirst for Rival Bros. coffee, we often find ourselves walking on the 2300 block of Naudain Street on our way over to the cafe. This walk has featured non-stop construction on the south side of this block for nearly two years which in a vacuum is

A reader tipped us off the other day about some impending construction on the 1200 block of N. 25th St. and we couldn't shake the feeling we'd visited the block before. But we couldn't quite figure out when or why. Looking at the Google Street View of the block from

The long journey for 1843 E. Passyunk Ave. could finally be approaching a satisfying conclusion. We first wrote about this property about half a decade ago, but it came to our attention many years before. The building was home to King of Jeans for many years, and the amazing sign caught our
