Pop quiz - kindly locate 3145 Grays Ferry Ave. on a map. Logic would suggest that it's the Hertz property on the north side of Grays Ferry Avenue, just east of I-76 and 32nd Street. We're sorry to say, that's not it. Instead, 3145 Grays Ferry Ave. is the wedge-shaped property immediately

We had an errand to run in Chestnut Hill the other day, and figured we'd take the scenic route, taking Germantown Avenue through Mount Airy. We confess, we don't find ourselves in this area all that often, but we suspect we'll be spending more time in these parts moving forward,

We first brought 2504 E. York St. to your attention back in early 2020, you know, just before the world turned upside down. At that time, we told you that developers had purchased this property and were planning to tear down a pair of homes and build a new mixed-use building

There's a nondescript warehouse at 2100 Washington Ave., with peach painted stucco on its Washington Avenue facade and exposed cinderblocks running down 21st Street. The site has predictably been used for industrial purposes for many years, with the current warehouse built over two phases in the 1980s, replacing another warehouse that stood

300 N. Columbus Blvd. has, somehow, been sitting undeveloped for about a century. The property covers about an acre and a half and has been used as a surface parking lot for decades. Before that, it was used a rail yard for the Reading Railroad, dating back to the early
