Who doesn't love a good public space? We love the fresh air, trees, plants, activated areas for people to gather and enjoy each other's company, and/or the chance for some solitude in the city. The issue is, not all public spaces would be considered "good" with this definition. One such

Boy oh boy, has Washington Avenue undergone some changes over the last few years. With projects popping up all over the place and the newly paved (and partially safer) roads, the industrial-heavy past is slowly making a sharp turn toward a mixed-use future. One place where this change is very

Over the weekend, a zoning permit for the complete demolition of the structure at 210-12 N. 12th St. in Chinatown caught our attention. When we first saw this notice, we didn't think too much of the property at the NW corner of 12th & Spring, where a handsome but neglected

We anticipated a seven-story structure with ground level commercial space, but the "visitor accommodations" in the zoning document left some wiggle room in our understanding

We have long said that there are very few corners of our fair city where development isn't taking place. However, a project at 1818 N. 53rd St. in the Wynnefield neighborhood represents our first venture to this part of town, at least to the extent we can remember. We just

Back in October, when the Phillies were dancing on their own and the Eagles were undefeated, we brought you some more good news thanks to a proposal for the surface parking lot at 21st & Ludlow in Rittenhouse/Center City/Market West. This underutilized parcel had big plans in store from owners
