This spring, we took you on a magical mystery tour of development, with our final stop coming at what we called "Lower Northern Liberties." For alliteration's sake, we couldn't help today but to shorten the area to "SoNo" - or "Southern Northern Liberties." We wince as we type it out,

Lehigh Ave. is one of North Philadelphia's major east-west axes, traversing much of the city as it shifts from industrial to residential and everything in between.

We find ourselves on Girard Ave. or thereabouts more often than practically anywhere in the city, and that's no accident. This corridor has been booming for a while now, all the way from the Delaware River, to Brewerytown, and beyond. Today, we head to 1000 W. Girard Ave., a long

Pop quiz: who is the United States Ambassador to Germany? If you said Amy Gutmann, you're a winner! We bring up the former president of the University of Pennsylvania as her namesake building at 3317-33 Chestnut St. is currently rising in University City. When we last stopped by the site

While checking on the now-demo'ed Galvo the other day, we couldn't help but peer through the fence at a former neighborhood staple.
