A couple of months ago, we told you about plans for a new mixed-use development on the northeast corner of 23rd & Christian. The developers in this case are the principals of the Senior Resource Group, a company that helps seniors choose insurance carriers. This company has been renting office space at this

Two years ago, we detailed the transformation of the 2100 block of Carpenter Street. We showed you this satellite image from 2004 to drive home just how desolate this block was less than a decade ago.

Out of 47 residential lots on the street at that time, there were only seventeen

Over two years ago, we told you about 2509 Grays Ferry Ave., a blighted former cheesesteak shop that was nearly a Rita's a few years back. The Rita's use was approved by the ZBA, but overturned by the PA Commonwealth Court thanks to objections from near neighbors. People who were concerned

A little less than a year ago, developer Steve Rodriguez received the necessary variances from the ZBA to construct a four story, mixed-use building on what is currently a surface parking lot at 24th & Grays Ferry. Designed through a collaboration between Campbell Thomas and LABhaus, the twenty-two unit structure promised to bring

It seems that every time we visit South Street West, a new business has opened up its doors. Just a couple of weeks ago, we spread the good news that Rita's had finally opened on the 2100 block. And there appears to be hope that Ron's Ribs will be making

Last month, we told you about 2006 Carpenter St., a home that recently changed hands and was then demolished. At that time, we suspected that the developers would have to go to zoning to construct a three story home. Passing by the property the other day, we realized that the

A couple of readers have reached out in recent weeks, asking what's going on at 1537 Christian St., a building that's currently being renovated. Though the exterior of the building looks pretty good, the commercial space on the first floor hasn't been in use, to our knowledge, since a dry
