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. As we've previously covered, a third phase of Artisan Homes was planned here,

It's been a bumpy road for 613 S. 24th St. over the last several years, but now it finally appears as though something will be happening here. It was over seven years ago (yikes) that we first drew your gaze to this little property, noting that the two story building

A couple months back, we drew your attention to the building at 752 S. 16th St., upon which a neighbor had discovered a demolition notice. At first we were rather upset, lamenting the imminent elimination of an interesting edifice which was originally built as a fire house but had been used

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

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

Back in January, we shared the latest iteration of plans for 2101 Washington Ave., a huge property more commonly known as the Chocolate Factory. It's known as such because Frankford Candy, the largest marketer of licensed confections and gifts in the country, was located there for decades, before moving to the Northeast about

The Graduate Hospital neighborhood is probably the poster child for gentrification in Philadelphia over the last twenty years. Turn back the clock to the end of the Clinton presidency, and this neighborhood was home to over a thousand vacant buildings and lots. It's a very different story today, as you could probably

For decades, a religious non-profit has occupied a double-wide and unassuming building at the southeast corner of 19th & Bainbridge. The foreign missions arm of the National Baptist Convention, the Foreign Mission Board (FMB), operates numerous mission stations in Africa, the Caribbean, and Central America. Though the group's mission is primarily missionary in

Frankford Candy is the largest marketer of licensed confections and gifts in the country and if you've ever eaten a chocolate bunny around Easter, it was probably made and/or distributed out of their sizable facility in the Northeast. Before moving there in the early 2000s, Frankford Candy was located much closer to
