On a little street in Fishtown, two new homes at 2303-05 Collins St. are being constructed as part of yet another one-off development. The two homes had been framed out when we passed by a couple of weeks ago. Previously, the lots where these homes are rising contained a swimming

A couple of years ago, plans emerged for the I. Brewster & Company Gallery to move from an extremely unimpressive building at the corner of 22nd & Market to a new space at 21st & Race in the former home of the Please Touch Museum. In the time that passed

Eight or more condos along with ground-floor retail may soon fill another vacancy on the busy N. 2nd Street commercial corridor in Northern Liberties. Half a block south of the Piazza at 950-54 N. 2nd St., this project would replace an ugly garage and a strip of vacant land next

About two and a half years ago, news first broke about plans for a new bar/restaurant at 780-782 S. 2nd St., an address that was formerly home to Il Villaggio. Stephen Simons, owner of the Khyber Pass Pub, Royal Tavern, and Cantina restaurants, had his eye on a Japanese gastropub
