You may recall that the other day, we told you about a tiny house planned for the 1200 block of 2nd Street which some neighbors are fighting because it'll result in the elimination of an old tree. Less than a block away from here, and slightly farther away from Federal Donuts, we

Point Breeze Avenue has seen some small improvements over the last few years, but it's still a very long way from reaching its potential as a vibrant commercial corridor. As we've pointed out many times in the past, the base zoning on Point Breeze Avenue makes its continued improvement all

Another day, another vacant Francisville lot getting redeveloped.These days, it seems that you can't go a single block in this neighborhood without running into a contractors framing a building, pouring a foundation, or digging a new hole.

Formerly named known as Penn's South Bank, Pennovation Works is currently a modest construction project on a relatively large

We spied construction at 2318 E. York St. a couple of months back but didn't understand what the project entailed. A commenter quickly straightened us out, explaining that it was a nine unit condo development from Postgreen Homes called Arbor House. For those unfamiliar with Postgreen, they've done numerous projects in Fishtown,

Port Richmond is officially a thing, folks. We say this as we write from the friendly confines of River Wards Cafe, a neighborhood coffee shop that opened at 3118 Richmond St. a few months ago. And did you know that the folks from Loco Pez opened Bait & Switch Seafood

If you live in Manayunk or if you drive past it on I-76, perhaps you've noticed that a big building has sprung up next to the Schuylkill River in the last year. We last visited 1 Cotton St. about a year ago, when it looked like this vacant parcel was finally getting
