A development on the northeast corner of Broad & Washington could be getting closer. At the very least, it looks like there's continued momentum as the months roll off the calendar. Remember, it was back in November of 2014 that we attended a community meeting to hear Bart Blatstein from

If you've caught a flick at Ritz East lately, you've surely noticed that there's a major construction project happening across the street. For as long as we can remember, 130 S. Front St. has been a surface parking lot, but developers bought the property last year and are now pretty

Gold Star Park is a gem of a little neighborhood park, with a nice run of grass, some older trees throwing off shade (in a good way) all summer, and a playground to keep the kiddies happy. But if you don't live on or around the 700 block of Wharton

It's been almost half a year since we told you about Perry World House, a project at 3803 Locust Walk on Penn's campus, and as you can imagine there's been some considerable progress since then. A reminder, this building will be a great resource for International Relations majors and will

We confess, we're amazed by all of the construction happening near Front & Race right now. About a year and a half ago, we told you about plans for ten homes at 120 Race St., then part of a surface parking lot located next to the highway. In general, these

We noticed a demolition notice at 18 W. Girard Ave. shortly after the pope came and left, but at the time we didn't have any idea what was going to happen there. This building had most recently been used as a day care, and previously functioned as a medical office.
