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

We were driving through Mantua the other day, looking into some recent projects we'd heard about, when some construction on the 3600 block of Olive Street caught our eye.

The northeast corner of 6th & Girard is home to a rather cool looking edifice which has fortunately survived years of neighborhood decline and what looks like less than ideal care from its owners over time. The building originally operated as the Sixth Street Farmers Market and was also used as

The east side of the 2000 block of S. Broad St. contains a mix of retail spaces, bookended by a pair of attractive buildings that were originally constructed as banks. 2001 S. Broad St. was built for the Philadelphia Savings Fund Society and is now a Citizens Bank. 2037 S.

720-22 S. Hicks St. is a two-story brick building that was originally built as a carriage house, at least according to an old listing. Going back to the early 2000s, the building was used as an artist studio, a function that probably made sense in this area at that time. At

The Protestant Episcopal Church of the Crucifixion was organized in 1847 as the second predominantly African-American Episcopal Church in Philadelphia, settling into a church building at 807 Bainbridge St. in 1884. Architect Isaac Pursell designed the building, which doesn't come as much of a surprise considering that he designed countless churches in

As is the case on several blocks in Northern Liberties, the south side of the 400 block of Fairmount Avenue has seen some major changes over the last decade. Starting at 414 Fairmount Ave. and moving west, all of the properties on the south side have turned over during that time, with
