Last week, we revisited the K'House project which was originally slated for the 1700 block of N. Howard Street but was delayed and eventually moved to Hope Street after the project was shot down by the ZBA. When we snapped those photos, we spied another seemingly new project in the

We'd like to think we've set foot on most blocks in Center City and beyond, but recently we found ourselves on a block we'd never visited in East Kensington. As we were making our way down the 2500 block of Collins Street, we noticed some construction activity on the 2100

Then we remembered that this project was actually a not very tall, not very dense senior housing development and our

The Grays Ferry neighborhood has taken some positive steps of late, with new homes under construction and plans for some apartment buildings too. Grays Ferry Avenue though, looks pretty much the same as it has in recent years. Because of the width of the street and the fact that it
