The area east of Temple University and the Silicon Valley are rarely mistaken for one another. However, one company is working on bringing these wildly different areas a little bit closer. NYCE is a real estate and investment platform that crowdsources funding for projects that focus on bringing tech and

52nd & Market has long been a hub of activity, dating at least back to the building of the Market-Frankford Line and its station at this corner in the early 20th century. Just to the south, at 17-23 S. 52nd St., stands an unusually tall building for this location. Hidden

The building at 1801 Fairmount Ave., right on the main drag of the neighborhood, is one that's long caught our attention. We last checked in back in 2019, when a demolition notice was issued for the cool corner building. We held out hope that this would just entail minor demolition

We admit it: we are a sucker for Mid-Century Modern architecture, and wish there was more of it in greater Center City. The former University Motor Inn, built right along the banks of the Schuylkill River at 600 S. University Ave., was a rare example, with its zig-zagging roof hovering

University City has solidified itself as one of the premier healthcare hubs in the country, with no signs of slowing down anytime soon. New lab space at 38th & Chestnut will join other planned towers on the enormous uCity Square campus just a block to the north on Market. Further

If you've found yourself at the intersection of Delaware Avenue & Spring Garden Street over the last decade or so, Festival Pier was likely the reason why. The long-time home to the Roots Picnic served as a waterfront concert venue for years before closing for good back in 2019. But

We have never been fond of giant empty lots smack dab in the middle of the urban fabric, and the one at 1823 Callowhill St. is an unfortunate example of just that. After a previous life as an orphanage and recreation center designed by Elizabeth Fleisher, Philly's first registered female

We've visited 10th & Arch countless times over the years, mostly thanks to the now-closed Trocadero Theatre. We're still slightly devastated that we can no longer stage dive at the Troc, the former opera house/theatre/burlesque club/iconic punk venue that operated just to the northwest of this corner for over a

The Delaware River Waterfront has long been an area of great potential, but it's been prone to fits and starts development-wise (which reminds us, a preemptive RIP to the excellent Fitz and Starts, closing soon in Queen Village). Over the years, Race Street Pier, Cherry Street Pier, Fringe Arts and

Chestnut Hill is undeniably charming and adorable, sporting some of the most picturesque streets in the entire city. The historic architecture, cobblestones and mature trees can give the impression of a neighborhood frozen in time. And for one former gas station, the neighbors are wishing they could turn back the
