A couple of readers have reached out in recent weeks, asking what's going on at 1537 Christian St., a building that's currently being renovated. Though the exterior of the building looks pretty good, the commercial space on the first floor hasn't been in use, to our knowledge, since a dry

Back in January, we shared the news that the University City Science Center would be building a large apartment building at 3601 Market St., representing their first ever residential undertaking. A press release that we received the other day confirms that the Science Center and their partner Southern Land Company

A week ago, we passed the corner of Amber & Susquehanna in East Kensington on our way back from the waterfront, and noticed a 3-story building under construction at the corner. This is an intersection we've visited repeatedly in the past, as it's home to the 100K House, which received

We've produced a veritable deluge of words about the intersection of 19th & Poplar, clogging your minds with information about four large projects that surround the intersection.

A month later, we learned that the property owners had agreed to meet with Councilman Mark Squilla, and Pennsport neighbors. Additionally, we recently learned that neighbors are organizing in another way to preserve the

Last week, when we were coming back from a jaunt to the Northeast, we spotted a rehab project at 2119 E. Cumberland St. that we were previously unaware of. We noticed the building all the way from Frankford Ave., as its uncommon appearance drew our eyes off the road in

Last month, we shared some outstanding news for people who live near 20th & Carpenter- two long-vacant and blighted PHA properties were finally being demolished. This came a month after the properties, 1010 and 1012 S. 20th St., were posted with notices from L&I demanding the buildings be repaired or demolished.

A reader tipped us off the other day about two new buildings that they noticed on the 3800 block of Haverford Avenue. As you can imagine, our gut reaction was that a couple of new student housing units were joining the fray on the southern end of Mantua. But for
