There's more demolition coming to the 1400 block of North 15th Street. About a year and a half ago, we discovered that 1415 N. 15th St. was coming down. It was a shame to see this structure, an older building with a brownstone face on its first floor and offset

Every home or apartment has its little quirks. When we lived above an arcade, a powerful jukebox below taught us the bass lines to every popular song from 2001. When we lived immediately next door to a bar, we heard some amazing conversations through a thin bathroom wall. Then there

About a year and a half ago, we wondered about all the retail vacancies on the first floor of Abbott's Square, ultimately learning about a plan for a 20K sqft Garden of Eden grocery store at the corner 2nd & South. Garden of Eden is a small New York based

Ah Constitution Court, we can finally see the finish line. We first told you about this project on the northwest corner of 3rd & Reed almost three years ago, when we told you about plans to demolish the St. John the Evangelist Episcopal Church, a wonderful structure built in the 1890s. We

The CHOP project on Schuylkill Avenue is one of Philadelphia's largest institutional construction projects right now, and it's been steadily chugging along since our last visit roughly half a year ago.

When we last checked in on the Summit at University City project at 34th & Lancaster a little over a year ago, the building had been topped off and window installation was well underway. At the time, we told you that the project would mean 1,300 beds over a variety of floor

The other day, we were running errands pretty far north. Far enough north in fact, that we passed Botany 500, the Traylor Building, and the North Philadelphia train station and thought to ourselves -- not for the first time -- that the whole area oozed untapped potential. And then, a

It's been a long road for 1843 E. Passyunk Ave., for decades home to King of Jeans. We first brought this property to your attention back in the summer of 2011, announcing that it was listed for sale but noting that the price was too high and the triangular shape

A couple months back, we brought construction activity at 2568 Frankford Ave. to your attention, happily noting that another long-vacant Frankford Avenue lot was turning over. In case you forgot, this building will include ground-floor retail space and two apartment units. When we were here last, it was a hole

We passed by 616-18 S. 18th St. dozens of times over the years but never really paid it any mind. Upon closer examination though, the building clearly didn't look like the others on the block, both in terms of architecture and materials. We use the past tense because of late,
