Eleven new single family homes are on the way in Fishtown, as members of the Fishtown Neighbors Association voted July 30th to approve a project for 1100 Hewson St.

Developers first presented a 12-home 11-garage project, designed by KJO Architecture, in June. After neighbors raised concerns about density, the developers reduced the number of units

If you're ever in the area, you've probably wondered about the Munson Manor building at 1200 Point Breeze Ave., a decent enough looking structure that appears to have once been home to a bar on the first floor.

The West Powelton, Mantua, and Saunders Park social services organization People’s Emergency Center (PEC) has big plans for the 4200-block of Powelton Avenue.

Perhaps you've noticed 2200 Catharine St. on your way to Sidecar for brunch, or en route to SoWe for happy hour.
