Last summer, we told you about plans for a new restaurant at 1646-48 S. 12th St. from Chris Scarduzio of the Table 31. This building had been home to Artisan Boulanger Patissier for quite some time, and sits across the street from such neighborhood luminaries as El Zarape, Mr. Martino's Trattoria, and Cantina Los Caballitos. A year later, the croissant

The area just north of Liberties Walk and just west of the Piazza has seen considerable development in recent years. Tower built a row of garage-front homes on the south side of the 200 block of George Street. The Stables, though only three homes to this point, will eventually multiply

About a year and a half ago, we first brought you the news that a vacant lot at 528 S. 13th St. would be turned into a duplex. If neighbors read about this at that time and were bracing themselves to endure some construction noise, they had quite the wait

As you can see, 1303, 1305, and and 1309 S. 22nd St.

A reader checked in a couple of weeks ago, and gave us the heads up about two new homes approaching completion across the street from the nearly finished Norris Point homes. 2135 E. Norris St. was previously part of a rather large vacant lot/green space, but has now been appropriated

Though the primary dish has changed considerably over the duration, 507 S. 6th St. has been a popular local eatery of some variety for well over a century now.  Its first notable occupant was Abe Levis, a Lithuanian who fled to America at age fourteen to avoid being drafted into the Czar’s

A few months ago, we broke the news that a new froyo place would be opening its doors at the corner of 20th & Brandywine. According to their Facebook page, they opened up at the end of May, though we confess we haven't made it over there as of yet.
