Yeesh, another project for Washington Avenue? Yup, here comes a third consecutive post about this major artery whose development has been mostly arrested since the factories and coal yards moved away. A reader apparently saw our story yesterday about plans for a new mixed-use building at the corner of 12th

We're all familiar with Market Street itself seeing a makeover with the “East Market” project and the Gallery redo (whenever it finally happens). South of Market Street, Brickstone

We got our car inspected yesterday at a delightful place called Cona Motor on Juniper Street, just a block off of Passyunk Avenue. So we took the opportunity to walk around the neighborhood despite the continuous drizzle. And during this walk, we happened upon some new construction at 1840 S.

A long-vacant mixed-use property at 1401 Reed St. will get some much-needed attention very soon, as new owners recently purchased the property.
