Last week, we briefly mentioned progress on the Stable Flats project, across the street from a garage that will soon turn into a salon. We first mentioned this project last spring, and and in that time it's progressed from foundations to the assembly of three modular units, and the name

Cliché be damned, in Cedar Park, neighbors are showing how seriously they take being members of a community. When Elena's Soul (4912 Baltimore) caught fire on Christmas Eve, its subsequent demolition toppled more than one business.

A tragic murder has been on the minds of Philadelphians since Monday, as we've tried to come to grips with how someone could commit such a heinous act and worried that a lunatic could still be at large. Today, according to Philly.com, an exterminator from Levittown has been taken into

Over a year ago, we could swear that we attended a Francisville community meeting where a project was presented for the vacant southwest corner of 15th & Ogden. If that did, in fact, occur, then it seems that plans have changed for this spot, as a reader just tipped us

Right around Thanksgiving, we told you about a presentation for 33 residential units at the YWCA building at 1607 Catharine St., and the unfavorable response from the near neighbors. Last week, developers returned to SOSNA and made a modified presentation, which received nearly unanimous support from the community and the

A reader gave us the heads up that 1308-10 Point Breeze Ave. is currently under construction.
