Remember, these properties sat vacant and blighted for many years until the Redevelopment Authority demolished them back in early 2013.1507 Catharine St. in the past1515 Catharine St. in the pastThese properties, along with several

Packer Park neighbors are surely pleased, as a large blighted building has disappeared from their midst. Last year, we brought 3200 S. Broad St. to your attention, mentioning rumors that owners PSDC would soon be demolishing the property. The building, which had sat vacant for many years, had been an
