The intersection of Broad and Wood Streets, just north of the Vine Street Expressway, has seen a tremendous amount of change over the course of two centuries.  As the neighborhood around North Broad Street has transformed, the building at the southwest corner of the intersection has shifted constantly to reflect

Early this summer, we spotted new construction activity at 31st & Thompson, behind the still kind-of new Brewerytown Bottom Dollar.
