Though we think people give it a little too much credit, the classic Philly row home has proven to be a timeless architectural choice in our fair town. Throw up some bricks, some stone lintels, and a cornice, and you probably won't win any design awards but nobody will complain

If you're out in West Philly and looking for some quality morning hash browns, Cedar Park Cafe at 49th & Baltimore has reopened.

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.

Every month, the Northern Liberties Neighbors Association (NLNA) Zoning Committee plays their part in maintaining the neighborhood's character, staying consistent with their master plan. And on the 200 block of Poplar Street, they are taking this responsibility very seriously.

Last month, we told you about 2006 Carpenter St., a home that recently changed hands and was then demolished. At that time, we suspected that the developers would have to go to zoning to construct a three story home. Passing by the property the other day, we realized that the
