When we recommended that you attend the Northern Liberties Neighbors Association 40th anniversary celebration a couple weeks back, it wasn't simply because of the significance of the milestone for this organization that's done so much for its community.

We've visited the 1700 block of N. Howard St. a couple times before, and today, for our latest visit, we bring news of the largest project we've seen on the block to date. Previously, we've covered the First Steel project from Postgreen, a two-home project at the corner of Howard

As Fishtown and East Kensington are doing real estate backflips, we're increasingly seeing development and opportunity past Lehigh Avenue, literally on the other side of the tracks.

Remember last week, when we told you about a project coming soon to the 3300 block of Tulip Street and we were pretty much flabbergasted that multiple developers are building in this neck of the woods? In case you missed it, developers presented a plan to the ZBA earlier this

We had a hankering for some hand drawn noodles the other day so we ventured to Chinatown to visit the good people at Nan Zhou. If you've never been there, we wonder what you're waiting for.Nan Zhou Hand Drawn NoodleJust a few doors down from this amazing restaurant is some
