In Fishtown

Fishtown keeps improving and as the neighborhood grows, people are more and more willing to live at addresses that were previously considered to be undesirable. We've seen all kinds of projects cropping up on Front Street, for example, despite the frequent rumble of the El. Similarly, we've seen several projects

As Frankford Avenue continues to thrive as a commercial corridor, developers are looking at possible projects everywhere, including smaller properties that they might have previously overlooked.

We were pretty sure that 1244 E Colona St. had already been redeveloped, and were therefore quite surprised to see it listed on a Fishtown Neighbors Association Zoning Committee agenda earlier this month.

Not knowing their identities and understanding that they're probably long dead, we can't even send them a thank you card for the many lousy

We know we haven't checked in on Front Street in the last month or two, but that doesn't mean that it isn't still seeing its share of development action. Today, we look at some likely redevelopment at 1523 N. Front St., a building that we told you about two years

The other day, we happened upon a wee bit of construction on the 2300 block of E. Fletcher St., between Cedar and Memphis Streets. Looking at Google Street View, we see that 2336 E. Fletcher St. was previously a green one-story garage. Developers purchased the building, tore it down, and
