It seems that every time we visit South Street West, a new business has opened up its doors. Just a couple of weeks ago, we spread the good news that Rita's had finally opened on the 2100 block. And there appears to be hope that Ron's Ribs will be making

It seems that as it gets tougher to find land to develop in Northern Liberties, so too is it becoming more challenging to craft projects that the Northern Liberties Neighbors Association (NLNA) zoning committee will support at first blush. Last week, we told you about a proposal on Poplar Street

Yesterday, we mentioned Wood Street, one of the few cobblestone streets left in town. Last week, we were traveling down another cobblestone street, Trenton Avenue, and spotted a new construction project on an adjoining block. Currently, two homes have been framed out at 2147 and 2149 E. Sergeant St., formerly

In Logan Square, construction on the 227-unit Granary Apartments at 20th & Callowhill, is nearing completion. So far, sixty tenants have moved in with more coming soon. The building was developed by Pearl Properties and designed by DAS Architects to be a blend of old and new, industrial and modern, and

The cafe welcomed eaters back through its doors on August 15th. It was forced to close early last winter after a Christmas Eve fire at Elena's Soul caused damage

One of the few cobblestone streets left in Philadelphia, Wood Street is a perfect reminder that you've entered one of the city's historic neighborhoods. And while a small handful of undeveloped old buildings remain in Old City, it always surprises us to come upon one we've never noticed before. But

When we last checked in on the corner of York & Amber back in February, two Postgreen homes had just been framed out. Dubbed the Snapback Project, these homes are designed by Interface Studio Architects and have some unique exterior (and interior) design characteristics. When we passed by this corner the other day, it

Last week, we passed along an update on plans from the University City Science Center to build an apartment building at 36th & Market. Today, we have an update on another Science Center project, located a couple of blocks away at 38th & Market. We first told you about this project

It always gets us jazzed up when we hear about surface parking lots changing into buildings, especially when it happens in or close to Center City. So you can imagine our glee when we heard last week that two of 'em on North Broad Street should be disappearing in the
