In Graduate Hospital

A couple of years ago, when we told you about plans for a new construction home at 1418 Pemberton St., we highlighted the stalled construction next door. Plenty of time has passed, the aforementioned planned home has been built and sold (for $840K!), and there has thankfully been some progress

Somehow, we haven't provided any updates on CHOP's Schuylkill Avenue project since April, after they first presented at Civic Design Review. To quickly bring you up to speed, CHOP came to a second CDR meeting with some changes to the project, then they presented to the ZBA and got approval

A reader checked in today with a tip that the former home of Healthy Bites at 2521 Christian St. is under construction. In its most recent incarnation as a retail space, this building was home to a gourmet cafe/market that also did a bunch of premade meals to go. The

At the end of 2011, the 2500 block of Montrose Street looked like it would soon experience a host of changes. Metro Impact had introduced a project called Montrose Court, which would have meant the construction of eight new homes on the north side of the block and three homes

It wasn't so long ago that 17th Street between Carpenter and Washington was pretty much the worst block in the Graduate Hospital neighborhood. For years, a small collection of burned out husks of homes dominated the streetscape. After L&I was kind enough to demolish the blight, the block was left

Back in May, we told you that the 2014 PHS Pop-Up Garden would be appearing on the 1400 block of South Street. We've been foaming at the mouth in anticipation, and now the wait is over at last. Remember, this was a godforsaken vacant lot just a month ago (and for like

Remember earlier this week when we updated you about Saint Matt's on Grays Ferry, and shared the good news (to us at least) that the church's conversion into thirty-eight apartments was nearing completion? Today we look at another former church nearby, at 810 S. 23rd St., though this one is

Over two years ago, we told you about a divided community opinion regarding plans to convert the former Greater Saint Matthew Baptist Church into apartments from Barzilay Development. Neighbors were concerned, stop us if you've heard this one before, that thirty-eight new apartments with zero parking spaces would put more pressure

For the last couple of months, living on the 2100 block of Kater Street has straight-up sucked. While performing the necessary task of replacing the water and sewer lines on the block, the Water Department has completely torn up the street. It's totally impassible by car, tough to traverse by foot, and neighbors

For years, we've been talking about Washington Avenue West, hoping for better things than forklifts and building supply warehouses, and dreaming of a more accessible bridge between Graduate Hospital and Point Breeze. And there have certainly been some small improvements, like the opening of NextFab Studios, a crossfit gym, and
