Oh, that glorious Beury Building. Perhaps as famous for its suggestive graffiti as it is for its gorgeous Art Deco design, we checked in earlier this year at 3701 N. Broad St., where things were in motion for a triumphant return for a building that had seen much better days.

The East Poplar neighborhood is one that has started to see its share of projects, with most sitting around the southern or western edges. However, right smack dab in the middle of the neighborhood, there's a project on an empty lot that looks like it'll be starting any day now,
