Spring Garden Street, while masquerading with a verdant name, is hardly the lush, landscaped thoroughfare that the title projects. From river to river, the street cuts through numerous neighborhoods, sometimes tree-lined, oftentimes barren of any flora at all. Nearly a decade ago, the seeds of the Spring Garden Street Greenway

The surface parking lot at 800-30 Vine St. is one that has had high hopes for a while, including back in 2017 when the Philadelphia Redevelopment Authority issued an RFP for a socially conscious development of the site. This was a first for the city, as they asked for proposals

As we made our way down Chestnut Street and through Spruce Hill after our recent West Philly excursion, even we couldn't believe the incredible amount of construction taking place. It was less than a year ago that we checked in on several projects wrapping up along this stretch at the

Sansom Street, at least through much of Center City, is one of the more unusual roads we can think of. Part street, part alley, part hidden gem, this is one of the few streets in the heart of Philly where you feel like you can really disappear. Sometimes that's in

For anyone who has had a late night/early morning in the Rittenhouse neighborhood and had a hankering for a quick snack when other options were closed, you may be familiar with 2301-11 Walnut St., which is home to a 24-hour Rite Aid. This set-up always struck us as odd, with

It was barely over a month ago when we told you about 500 S. Broad St. and the big plans in store. Earlier this year, we speculated that a Virgin Hotel may be part of a multi-tower proposal on this almost full city block, but plans have since shifted to

We were out exploring West Philly the other day and kept thinking "Philly in the '60s" as we made our way to 60th Street and beyond on our journey. While there was plenty happening in the present day as we crossed the city, we couldn't stop thinking of Arctic Records,

If you've strolled around Manayunk at any point over the last couple decades, you surely understand how the neighborhood feels pretty packed. Just typing that last sentence leads to flashbacks of trying to find parking at night along snowy, hilly roads where there seemed to be an endless parade of
