A Philadelphia Speaks thread tipped us off about a new project in the works at 34th and Haverford Sts., on the site of a former gas station. Here's a look at what the corner used to look like, thanks to the magic of Google Maps Street View.

Sometimes, as we're galavanting about town, we're inspired to get some inexpensive and delicious lunch from one of the many food trucks at Temple Main Campus. We were on such a trek yesterday and decided to take 15th St. south to get back to Center City. One particular project just a couple
