Last fall, we shared the news that plans were afoot to redevelop the rather underused property at the southeast corner of 9th & Catharine.

Greater Center City has boomed over the last number of years, but a handful of areas have felt like they've been left behind. The section of town that sits to the north of Old City and to the south of Northern Liberties is one such area, and to this day

North Broad Street has always had amazing bones, from when it was a thriving residential area in the Gilded Age to when it was known as Automobile Row back in the early 20th century. Investment in the area dried up in the middle to the late 20th century, but we've

After nearly a century of providing power to the city, the plant was decommissioned in 2008 and quickly became the target of urban explorers

150-64 W. Berks St., former home to Peter Woll & Sons Manufacturing Company and a very awesome ghost sign, has kept us on our toes over the last several years. After initially calling for 27 townhomes and 2 mixed-use buildings, we told you how plans changed to 23 homes and

The Clay Studio has been a staple of the Old City neighborhood since its founding in 1974 by a collection of artist classmates.  Over the last 48 (!) years, it has become a beloved institution, engaging with various communities across the city and offering a place to create and learn.

Some huge news dropped last week about a big change coming to University City. A long-time staple at 3801 Chestnut St. near Penn’s campus looks like it will soon be on its way out. We were nearby recently to check out where Amy Guttman Hall will rise, and noted with
