In Fishtown

Last summer, we told you about efforts to rehab 1600 Frankford Ave., a building with some interesting architectural details that we hoped would be preserved. We happened upon the building yesterday in the rain, and while it appears that the owners were able to preserve some aspects of the building,

For decades, AC Kissling called 161 E. Allen St. its home, churning out tons and tons of sauerkraut for customers up and down the east coast. According to a story from the Northeast Times Star, the family business was being run by a third generation of Kisslings in 2011. At some point

About a week ago, we told you about three new homes currently under construction near the East Kensington corner of York & Amber. Today, we wonder about Dauphin & Amber, a mere block away.

We were in the area last week, and noticed a new foundation at 2103 E. Dauphin, and possibly the

The last time we checked in on the former 26th Precinct Police Station at Trenton & E Dauphin was about a year ago, when the long-vacant building was just a couple of months into a long-coming renovation. At the time, we told you that nine apartments and a bank would

1849 Frankford Ave. was purchased by M2cr2 LLC in September, apparently from the City. We've
