We've covered several projects from Carmel Developments in some interesting locations. Most notable was the condo project on the 1000 block of Fairmount, the Fairmount Abode. Last year, they built a four-unit building in a far more standard location, on the 1200 block of Fairmount Avenue. With their newest project,

Last night's SOSNA zoning meeting was agony. Fortunately, its organizers were smart enough to 1) start the meeting a little earlier than usual, and 2) schedule it in a location with air conditioning. Three projects were presented to the community, but 2300 South Street was clearly the main event.

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

Last October, we wrote about the Baltimore Avenue transformation in West Philly and wondered how far its effects would crawl on either side of the growing corridor. We cited a trash-logged and abandoned construction site at 4809 Chester Ave. in Squirrel Hill as an example of a property that would

Go to the intersection of 9th & Passyunk, and you'll bear witness to today's chapter in the decades-long stand-off between Pat’s and Geno's. Countless families have been torn apart by this conflict. Brother has strongly disagreed with brother. Sister has loudly yelled across the street at sister. Others have opted out,

Over the winter, we told you about plans for Whole Foods to move out of their too-small, parking-nightmare location at 20th & Callowhill to a new facility to be constructed at 22nd Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, currently the site of a Best Western Hotel. We knew that this would be a mixed-use development,

In Point Breeze, there are blocks that have stood the test of time, and there are others that have almost completely disintegrated. The 1300 block of Chadwick Street is one example of the latter, with over half of the block overtaken by vacant land. If, however, the twelve new homes
