Back in February, we told you that 526 S. Front St. was listed for sale for $3M and also available for lease for $7,000/mo. This address, for the uninitiated, was home to Downey's Pub for a stunning period of time, with the business operating under a few different ownership groups from the 1970s

The 900 block of N. Marshall Street sits on the western border of Northern Liberties and has had itself a fascinating century. Back in the day, this stretch was a bustling commercial corridor, full of shops and pushcarts not unlike the Italian Market. Philaplace gives a lovely telling of the history of the street, and

With all the new construction we've seen creep northward through Mantua over the last several years, it was only a matter of time before that construction starting running into Mantua Avenue, the neighborhood's northern border. A couple years ago, we told you about a project at 33rd & Mantua and

A few years ago, we told you about a sizable new development in the Allegheny West neighborhood, on the edge of East Falls, at 34th & Commissioner. At that time, there were seven units at various stages of construction, and we're pleased to share that there are now eight quadplexes on

From roughly 1980 until the middle of 2018, a 7-11 held down the southeast corner of 22nd & Lombard. That is a very long run for any business at any location, and we tipped our proverbial caps when we covered the business closing a couple years back. At the time,

Clark Park is great. Over its nine plus acres, it boasts lush grass, some gnarly old trees, a couple playgrounds, a rad statue of Charles Dickens, an old pond bed, and one of our favorite farmers markets. It's a great spot for a game of catch, a frisbee toss, some volleyball,

Philadelphia Carriage Company operated horse-drawn carriage rides for many years, offering tours of Old City to locals and tourists alike. A few years back, the company closed down in the wake of revelations that they were not treating their horses in a humane fashion, with too-small pens, poor ventilation, and nonexistent turnout

The Legendary Blue Horizon is located at 1314 N. Broad St. and is currently sitting vacant. The building was originally constructed as private residences and transitioned into the home of Philadelphia Lodge 54, Loyal Order of the Moose in the early part of the 20th century. By the 1960s, the building was

A couple months back, we drew your attention to three buildings at 723-727 S. 17th St. which look like they're independent structures but are actually part of a small condo complex, along with three buildings to the east on Chadwick Street. At the time, we found out about a zoning refusal that
