In Graduate Hospital

The last time we looked at 20th & Bainbridge, we had just heard plans that a long-vacant building at 702 S. 20th St. would be demolished and replaced with a duplex. Next door to this project, which looks like it's nearly finished, is Robert's Twi-Lite Lounge, a corner bar that's been

We were so happy, earlier this summer, to share the good news that the ZBA had approved the mixed-use project at 2401 Washington Ave., an industrially zoned property that's been vacant for many years. And it's with just as much dread that we tell you that, as of last week,

After a long wait, it seems that 1507 and 1515 Catharine St. could get redeveloped soon. Remember, these properties sat vacant and blighted for many years until the Redevelopment Authority demolished them back in early 2013.1507 Catharine St. in the past1515 Catharine St. in the pastThese properties, along with several

Okay, we admit it, we're on a bit of an obscure block kick lately. Last week, we covered a proposed project at 1225 Annin St. on a block that's certainly not one of South Philly's most traveled. Today we make a return to the 2500 block of Montrose Street, which we

Amazingly, it's been almost a year since we last checked in on the huge CHOP project on Schuylkill Avenue. At that time, the former Springfield Beer Distributor air hangar was in the process of being demolished and the former JFK Vocational School was next on the, ahem, "chopping" block. The

For years, as the Graduate Hospital neighborhood has improved by leaps and bounds, an old warehouse has remained on the 1700 block of Carpenter Street. This building, we believe, was once home to Lerro Products, a laundry care company that now makes its home in New Jersey.In the pastIf you

This may set a record for quickest followup post ever on Naked Philly, but here goes anyway.Yesterday, we shared the good news that construction was underway for Bloc23, a four-story condo building at 23rd & Bainbridge. We were excited because the project has been in the works for several years

The block of Grays Ferry Avenue between South and Bainbridge has seen some wonderful changes in recent years. Most notably, a pedestrian plaza has claimed a section of the street for humans, creating a vibrant public space that's used all year long. Businesses like Igloo and Green Aisle Grocery have

Back in the day (about 15 years ago), when there were over a thousand vacant lots and buildings in the Graduate Hospital neighborhood, 908 S. 21st St. kind of blended in with its surroundings. As the neighborhood has improved and vacant lots and buildings have disappeared, this building's condition has

Ah, the 1900 block of Kimball Street. As recently as 2006, we're pretty sure there were no homes on this block. With dozens of homes having been built in the years since, it's one of the most Graduate-Hospitaliest blocks around. More than three years ago, we visited this block, bringing
