In Fishtown

Medusa Pizza opened its doors about a month ago at the corner of E York & Gaul, adding to Fishtown's embarrassment of pizza riches. We first told you about this project almost three years ago, when we shared the news that a red warehouse that most recently housed a meat

The last time we visited the 2400 block of Frankford Avenue was about half a year ago, when we told you about three new buildings on the block. The most unique of those new buildings is now getting a new neighbor, or at the very least there's a new hole

In the spirit of the recently finished National Spelling Bee, we found ourselves struggling to spell the word 'sauerkraut' on this fine morning. Unlike those kids though, we have the crutch of spellcheck, so we didn't even need to ask someone to use it in a sentence. But we digress.AC

We've had a couple of readers reach out to us in the last few weeks, wondering about construction at 2318 E. York St., a corner lot that functioned for many years as a side yard for lovely old brownstone.In the pastCurrent view of the propertyDevelopers bought the property about a
