The property at 2052 Blair St. has been sitting blighted and vacant for the last couple years, distracting from the unfortunate vinyl siding that covers its facade. Recently though, a reader gave us a shout to let us know that the home has been demolished. If you wish you had seen

Developers are looking to redevelop a flag lot in Fishtown, off of E. Montgomery Avenue. Perhaps you're wondering, what's a flag lot? Simple, it's a lot that looks like a flag. More specifically, it's a lot that has only a small sliver of street frontage, with the majority of the
