In Fishtown, Port Richmond and Kensington, various sustainable efforts have dominated the work of local groups.

The wolf, the turkey, the turtle and William Penn are all part of an infrastructure improvement project down by the waterfront in Fishtown.

A couple of months ago, we told you about plans from Postgreen to construct FRANK 2, a new mixed-use building at 2032-34 Frankford Ave., currently a vacant lot. Today, we have a little bit of new information as well as some pretty new pictures to share. In case you're forgotten,

Last fall, we wondered about a new bar/restaurant apparently on its way to 2370 E Norris St., a relatively new building with a giant front porch located at a six-point intersection in Fishtown. We quickly realized that this would be a new concept from the talented folks who brought us
