Off-campus student housing has exploded in West Philly over the last several years, with new apartment buildings appearing on blocks that developers heretofore considered to be too far west, north, or south. Those same developers have taken an interest in Woodland Avenue and surrounding blocks, specifically targeting University of the

Last summer, we told you that the Archdiocese had shuttered the Saint Peter Claver Center for Evangelization at 12th & Lombard and we speculated that a developer would soon purchase the building. When we contacted the Archdiocese, they indicated that the property was still in their possession but told us that they would

Developers have their eye on an old brownstone at 2108 Walnut St. and the vacant lot next door which has been used as a surface parking lot for many decades. We actually covered this building at one point a few years ago after a spa moved out of the first floor

For one of our very first posts on Naked Philly, way back in the summer of 2011, we told you about a seemingly stalled project at 1120 S. Front St. in Pennsport. In the years prior to that story, the address was home to an auto garage and the building

In the spirit of the recently finished National Spelling Bee, we found ourselves struggling to spell the word 'sauerkraut' on this fine morning. Unlike those kids though, we have the crutch of spellcheck, so we didn't even need to ask someone to use it in a sentence. But we digress.AC

We told you back in February that demolition at the former Mount Sinai Hospital site was wrapping up, but it seems we were getting a little bit ahead of ourselves. A couple of readers have reached out in recent weeks to let us know that construction has gotten started on

We have a handful of memories involving 514 South St., all of which date back to a time that Dairy Queen made its home in this one-story building. By the end of its time at this address, the DQ was kinda gross, so it was no surprise to us when
