Heads & Tails Beauty Boutique has just recently opened in Rittenhouse at 265 S. 19th St., just south of Rittenhouse Square.  The beauty boutique replaced what was formerly Gayer Hair Pieces, maintaining a similar theme at this location, but with perhaps a more easily marketable name.  While some may assume, like

A new large-scale development is coming to Old City, next door to the nation’s oldest block, Elfreth’s Alley. Developers could break ground at National East, a 123-unit project planned for 109-31 N 2nd St. as early as this spring. The huge and long anticipated development will include a parking area covered by a

A reader tipped us off to some orange zoning notices on a rather large, one story warehouse building at 2501 Wharton St.

This weekend, we stopped over at Blackbird for a delicious vegan hoagie and noticed orange zoning notices at the corner of 6th and Addison Sts., in Society Hill.

Back in December, we told you about six affordable housing units going up in Point Breeze, right around 20th and Dickinson Sts.
