"It is not a field of a few acres of ground, but a cause, that we are defending..."

The great American revolutionary Thomas Paine authored that quote back in the 18th century, and he would probably be surprised (and rather confused) to learn that a skateboarding non-profit would take a similar

Just a few days ago when we visited a recently moved historical building in Old City, we couldn't help but adjust our gaze to the south, where 141-43 N. 4th St. is experiencing an adaptive reuse of its own. This four-story, historically protected structure was built back in the 1780s,

When we walk out of the front door of our Fishtown office, it is impossible to miss 1359 Frankford Ave. rising just across the street. Previously a fenced off surface parking lot, plans have been in the works here for several years, with our latest check-in early last year when

Besides little cousins you haven't seen since last Thanksgiving (Hi guys!), few things can change as quickly as the built environment when several construction projects are taking place at once. After our trip to 30th Street Station to check out the updated, $550-million plans for a station revamp, we did

It's no secret at this point: the Philadelphia 76ers have their hearts set on a new arena - 76 Place - in the heart of the city at 11th & Market. The western third of the Fashion District has been eyed as the new location for some time now, with

We sure have been spending a lot of time lately near I-95 in Fishtown, as proposals, potential and on-going construction have caught our attention on a regular basis. Most of this has been happening on the Delaware River side of the interstate, but today we are jumping back over to

You may remember back in August when we took you to 2112 Walnut St. in Rittenhouse Square to tell you about a proposed overbuild directly next to an already completed overbuild. We had a bit of a fake-out on our hands since then, as the proposal was pulled from subsequent
