When we last visited the southwest corner of 4th & Greenwich, we discovered a new hole in the ground just a half a block away from Dickinson Square Park and across the street from Grindcore House. At the time, we told you to expect three new homes on this site. Checking

In Graduate Hospital, the last few years have not been kind to many of the old churches that have long inhabited the neighborhood. Several have been demolished in favor of residential development, with the new homes among the fanciest and priciest in the neighborhood. It should come as no surprise

It's been over a year since we checked in on 1221 Mount Vernon St., a former power station turned auto body place with dreams of a residential conversion. We first brought this building to your attention a year prior when it was sitting on the market for a steep $1.8M.

For the last couple of months, living on the 2100 block of Kater Street has straight-up sucked. While performing the necessary task of replacing the water and sewer lines on the block, the Water Department has completely torn up the street. It's totally impassible by car, tough to traverse by foot, and neighbors

Two winters back, we brought the construction of a duplex at the corner of 11th & Wallace to your attention. At the time, we were pleased to see that the long vacant lot was being filled, and lamented the fact that the surrounding lots remained undeveloped. There was also a

A surface parking lot near Passyunk Avenue could soon disappear, provided developers get ZBA approval to build two homes on the northeast corner of 12th & Tasker. From what we can tell looking at public record, physician William Zaccone purchased the lots a few years ago, perhaps to use as
