It was a little over a month ago that we checked in on the property at 1130 N. Delaware Ave., where we had received word that an apartment building was to rise on the surface parking lot next to the Edward Corner Building. When we last checked out the site,

The 3600 block of Haverford Avenue is full of potential, due to both its desirable location and the fact that it's home to some larger sized lots that are dramatically underused. This is only partly true at 3618-32 Haverford Ave., a property that's been home to the West Philadelphia Assembly
