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

As you might imagine, the passing of time has resulted

A little less than a month ago, we told you that one of the three planned homes for 19th & Catharine was being framed out. We initially gave you the lowdown on this project in February, with the news that yet another church would be torn down in this neighborhood.

About a year and a half ago, we told you about plans for the Nicholas and Athena Karabots Pavilion, a $25M expansion coming to the southern side of the Franklin Institute. With a contemporary design that stands in contrast to the existing building, the new structure will house a new neuroscience

On Friday, July 26th, the South of South Neighborhood Association hosted its first History Happy Hour at the Bainbridge Club. Despite some attendees hearing about it only the day before, the turnout was great and the event a memorable evening of first-hand stories of the Graduate Hospital/South West Center City/South

Over the last couple of years, we've seen several buildings renovated and multiple vacant lots filled on Fairmount Avenue. On the 1400 block alone, a long-vacant triangular lot is turning into the JBJ Soul Homes, and a thirty-unit development has replaced a seafood warehouse in recent memory. Though several vacant
