Dr. Martens' second east coast location will be the old Harry & David spot at 1710 Walnut Street.

Neighborhood groups across the city are working hard to come together to learn and participate in Philly’s civic process, with hopes of building green spaces and dynamic gathering places, a few blocks at a time. The Friends of Seger Park are pleased to announce they have raised enough (with

One of the tenants, City Fitness, is forging ahead the interior design for the new fitness center, and we have the plans.
