Unbelievably, we haven't visited the 1200 block of Crease Street since last October. Back then, we updated you on seven homes that were under construction and gave you the lowdown about a fourteen home development that was just getting underway. 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.

While you can debate the virtues of gambling dens in downtown Philadelphia until the cows come home, you can't argue with the fact that Sugarhouse is trying hard to make a name for itself outside the world of slot machines and blackjack. One such effort is the Sugarhouse Outdoor Summer

Back in February, we heard about plans for a new Rita's Water Ice at 2124 South St., a commercial space that was most recently home to a bike shop but has been vacant for over a year. Though SOSNA gave their approval to the proposal, it's been a bit of a longer

When we last brought up 1919 Market Street about six months ago, we told you that the mixed-use project planned by Brandywine Realty Trust would be delayed indefinitely. This was a bit of a bummer, as this parcel in our central business district has sat vacant for over two decades. But
