The retail mix has completely changed at the 3rd & Market intersection over the last few years. Turn back the clock to 2011, and you'll find an AT&T Store on the northwest corner, Pizzicato restaurant on the southeast corner, and Shirt and Suit Corner on the northeast and southwest corner,

Saint Laurentius Church is the oldest Polish Catholic church in Philadelphia, having been built at 1608 E. Berks St. in 1882. Not only was the church a religious site, but it was also an architectural landmark, with its stone facade and gothic spires. The Archdiocese closed the Saint Laurentius parish

We never would have visited the bottom of Point Breeze Avenue if a reader hadn't reached out recently, wondering about the huge vacant lot that's located where the road ends at 28th Street. Always down for an adventure, we made the trip down to the area to see what all

When we told you last week about twelve new units coming to the 300 block of Cecil B. Moore Ave., we didn't think we'd be back in this neck of the woods quite so quickly. But as is often the case, the story inspired a reader to reach out to

About a year ago, developers had an agreement in place to purchase the First African Baptist Church at 16th & Christian, intending to demolish the stone structure and build homes or condos in its place. With the congregation dating back to the early 1800s, and the attractive building having stood

We told you about a four-home project on 2nd Street in Pennsport a few weeks ago, and mentioned in passing two more homes under construction nearby, across the street from Herron Playground.
