It seems appropriate, on the day after E.M. Stanton and Isaac Sheppard Elementary were spared closure by the SRC, to wonder about the fate of the former George W. Childs School. Located at 17th and Tasker Sts. in Point Breeze for over a century, the school moved to 16th and Wharton Sts.

Last fall, we wondered about the fate of the building that last held The Witch, a short-lived neighborhood bar in Pennsport. At the time, the property, 1401 E. Moyamensing Ave., was on the market for $399K. It seemed like a decent enough location that could probably hold a successful business, with

Last May, we told you about the first supermarket coming to Brewerytown in almost two decades. But that project was delayed due to a lack of funding.

Now, it’s back on track. Today, at noon, at 31st & Girard, state and local officials, members of local civic groups, and developers will break out

Over the past several months, some empty lots at the corner of 26th and Montrose Sts. have been transformed into three fancy new homes, still under construction.

The three homes, built by Oh Hoo Ho and Oh Eun Young, are at the end of Montrose St. on this side of the river,

Walking down memory lane the other day, childhood days spent at the Philadelphia Zoo came to mind, making us feel all warm and fuzzy. Sure, it's been many years since we rode a pony or teased the monkeys at the Zoo, but the place still has a special place in

When properties become dangerously dilapidated to the point that they may collapse and injure people, the city (eventually) steps in and tears them down and sends the owners the bill. In West Philly, a new program is attempting to step in before the city demolishes 100-year-old Victorian West Philly homes and

Ever wanted to dance and drink the night away, but felt guilty about all the energy and environmental impact?  Well, worry no more!  Philadelphia is about to get its first eco-friendly nightclub, coming our way from New York City and Miami.  Greenhouse, New York's first LEED-certified club, is currently in build-out mode at 725
