In Graduate Hospital

16Bainbridge-Condo-Rendering

A reader tipped us off that they noticed some recent demolition on the north side of the 1600 block of Bainbridge. We ambled over there and lo, indeed, a double-wide lot has indeed been cleared in the middle of this block, and this lot goes all the way through to

Remember what life was like before March, 2020? Nobody wore a mask. Kids went to school. Sitting inside at restaurants and bars was a thing. And so on. But folks, the great rebound is coming. The first vaccinations are happening this week and the end of COVID-hell is still at least

The 1900 block of Bainbridge Street is one of our favorites in the Graduate Hospital neighborhood, mostly because the trees on the northern side of the block blossom in spectacular fashion for one week per year in the springtime. Some of the homes on the block are also pretty great,

The property at 740 S. Broad St. has sat empty for the last couple decades, and as you might expect for such a prominently located parcel, there have been a few different proposals that have come and gone during those years.

It's been over a year since we last wrote about 1600 Carpenter St., also known as the Hoa Binh Plaza. For those that don't recall, this property runs all the way to Washington Avenue, but doesn't include the hard corner of 16th & Washington, for whatever reason. A warehouse was constructed

Though it feels like seven years ago (thanks COVID), it was only seven months ago that we shared some upcoming development news for the southeast corner of 19th & Bainbridge. As we told you then, the Foreign Mission Board (FMB), a non-profit which operates numerous mission stations in Africa, the Caribbean, and

A reader reached out to us the other day, worried sick about a demolition notice they'd spied on an old firehouse in Grad Hospital. Firemen haven't hung their hats at 752 S. 16th St. for a number of years, as the building was converted into a quadplex somewhere along the line, but the
