Over the summer, we brought a long-delayed project at 114-120 E Girard Ave. to your attention, noting that work had finally begun at the site after nearly five years of delays. Today, we bring you a little status update, revealing that work is moving along here as the months have gone

A small three- to four-employee family operated business will occupy the first-floor of a three-story row home located at 2030 Race.

Earlier this week, a reader gave us the heads up that zoning notices had recently appeared on the front door of 2701 W. Girard Ave., a Gothic church that we first brought to your attention over the summer, when it was still listed for sale. At that time, we told
