Any regular reader of this site knows that we love fiberglass awnings just about as much as we love the Dallas Cowboys. For those unfamiliar, these awnings took South Philly (and other parts of the city as well) by storm several decades ago, and many homes have retained them after

It's been nearly a year since we first told you about plans to construct three triplexes plus a commercial space at 4006-10 Baring St., located on a block that's seen tons of development in recent years. Over the summer, we checked back in and discovered foundations but nothing more.

We were in the

For years, we've wondered about 622 Federal St., a home that doesn't look like anything else you might find in this neighborhood or any other in Philadelphia, for that matter.

We're not saying we love the building's appearance or hate it, but it's certainly one of the more unique homes we've

Just around the corner from the artisans space The Cedar Works project we informed you about a few weeks ago, an abandoned home takes up half of a duplex on the corner of 50th and Pentridge Streets. The same owner owns an abutting vacant lot.

An available sign has been posted at this unkempt,

The other day, we were on our way to the bank and spotted a tiny sign on the side of 1334-48 Bainbridge St., a fairly large building that looks like it was probably built in the 1970s. The sign looked similar to the signs used by the Redevelopment Authority to

A few weeks ago, we told you that the PRA Land Grab (for more info on this, click here) would be coming before the Rules Committee of City Council and encouraged you to go out and make your voice heard. The hearing featured a parade of affordable housing developers touting

Had a few too many single malt scotches at that house party and forgot where you locked up your bike?

At least your two wheels are going to a good cause. The Streets Department will be conducting abandoned bike sweeps Thursday Nov. 29 and Dec. 6. The bikes have been identified through Philly-311, the City’s
