A reader just tipped us off about some new construction on 11th Street, just north of Christian, so we figured we'd check it out. These blocks are really well established, so it's pretty unusual to see much construction. But our readers are amazingly honest and this was no exception.Construction at

The other day, when we were in West Philly snapping photos of the future Good Food Flats development on Baring Street, we stumbled onto some other happenings just around the corner. We first brought the four vacant buildings on the northwest corner of Preston & Spring Garden to your attention

It was with great excitement, roughly three years ago, that we told you about the opening of Brewerytown's Bottom Dollar, a long-anticipated oasis for a persistent food desert. We were extra pleased that this market had sprouted on 31st Street just north of Girard Avenue, filling in a parcel that

We last visited the intersection of 15th & Walnut about half a year ago (from a writing perspective that is - we've probably walked or driven or biked past this intersection dozens of times in the last six months), when renovation work was getting underway at 1501 Walnut St. and construction was still ongoing

Chestnut Street on the eastern side of West Philly has seen project after project rise in the last few years. This summer, Evo @ Cire Centre South opened to students, and the green space on the roof of the parking garage offers some sweet views. Oh and there's a solid coffee

Cumberland Street.

Several months ago, we told you about ongoing construction at the corner of 17th & Carpenter, work that represented the first phase of Carpenter Green. This green space has been in the works for quite some time, and we first told you about the plans back in the spring of

One of the corners of Coral & Fletcher has seriously seen its share of changes over the last few years. Turning back the clock to 2011, there was a single home and six vacant lots here. The home and two of the lots were privately owned and the four at

We've seen major changes on the 4000 block of Baring Street over the last five years, with over a hundred apartments coming online, mostly via new construction. Through it all, we've wondered whether a row of ugly buildings at 4012-30 Baring St. would eventually succumb to the changes on the
