Last fall, we told you about big plans for 412 S. 13th St., known more colloquially as Waverly Court. The building looks like it has some kind of industrial past, though we could not tell you its original purpose. Most recently, it has been home to rental apartments and the

We've covered many changes at the intersection of 19th & Catharine over the years, as we've watched two churches get torn down, with homes rising in their place. Our most recent visit to this corner was over a year ago when new owners took over a long vacant building on

The other day, a reader gave us the heads up about demolition at 1014 E. Moyamensing Ave., a former nursery on a block that's entirely residential aside from a pet store/record store a bit to the north. The building that disappeared served as a nursery/day care for twenty-five years, and before

With the weather taking a turn for the warmer (at last!), we find that we're spending a little more time outside, enjoying public spaces. Schuylkill River Park is one of the better ones in Center City, with a big dog park, basketball courts, tennis courts, a playground, and a connection

Hopes for a renewed Gallery have been around for much longer than Naked Philly has been writing about them. We've repeatedly covered possible movement at the mall over the years, most recently last summer when we wondered whether a renovation was close after a story came out that shopping-center company Macerich was partnering

We first visited the 10th & Cross intersection in early 2012, and showed you 1526 S. 10th St., a one-story building that once housed a corner business. Remember, it was a pickup location for neighborhood paperboys at one point and a corner store before that. But that was decades ago.

Renovations have begun on a 115-year-old church at 47th & Kingsessing that last year was slated for demolition.View of the former churchTwo years ago L&I had issued a 30-day repair or demolish notice, and last year, when the church was close to demolition, a neighborhood response led to the St.

It's been a sad tale for the Bottom Dollar on Grays Ferry Avenue.Two years ago, we found it curious when we heard that Bottom Dollar was building a new market at 3000 Grays Ferry Ave., right across the street from the Grays Ferry Pathmark. The discount supermarket chain was in the

We've been covering changes at the intersection of 21st & Federal for quite some time, with several projects making a mark at different corners. On the northeast corner, a row of seven homes have sprouted, replacing a long vacant lot. This was originally going to be fourteen condo units, but

A former Kraut House in Fishtown just off Delaware Avenue could soon be razed to make way for eighteen single-family homes, pointing to the continued residential resurgence in a formerly industrial area near Allen Street in Fishtown. This is an area where several projects have occurred, but this would be
