In East Falls

Over the last several months, we have gotten very, very familiar with Germantown Ave., from Northern Liberties all the way to Chestnut Hill. We have found ourselves especially busy on the east side of Germantown, where a couple of projects have recently caught our eye. It appears we might have

Wayne Junction has been undergoing a transformation on the east side of Germantown, near the regional rail station. And just steps from Germantown Ave. comes 113-29 Berkley St., right around the corner from the Frank Furness-designed Wayne Junction Station, which was designated as part of a historic district in 2018.

5700-04 Germantown Ave. has had a long and interesting life at a major crossroads within Germantown’s main commercial strip. With a few recent L&I violations to pair with the graffiti and broken gates, this building that was most recently a Villa Shoe Store has certainly seen better days. But we

Ridge Avenue is one of our favorite roads in Philadelphia. It appears, randomly and seemingly out of nowhere, on the 900 block of Wood Street in Callowhill. Fun fact, once upon a time it started at 8th & Race, but the creation of I-676 wiped out its first couple blocks

Since 1965, the 4500-6600 blocks of Germantown Ave. have been listed as a district on the National Historic Register. The blocks of Germantown Ave. in Chestnut Hill were listed in 1985, and the gap between these districts was closed in 1987, as the 6700-7600 blocks joined the register. We were

We confess that we don't make our way up to Mount Airy or Chestnut Hill on the regular, but given that these areas are seeing some interesting and relevant projects at the moment, we might need to up our game in the northwestern section of town. Today, we are pleased

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

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,
