In Graduate Hospital

A reader checked in the other day, giving us the heads up about an ongoing renovation at 815 S. 21st St., in the Graduate Hospital neighborhood. As recently as just a few months ago, this property looked, well, a little ugly.

Now, it's true that vinyl siding and fiberglass awnings are

A reader emailed us the other day about a blighted vacant lot near their home that's been giving them a headache for quite awhile. 1000 S Cleveland St., located in the middle of the 1800 block of Carpenter, seems ripe for redevelopment. Unfortunately, it's an overgrown lot that's somehow missing

About six months ago, we told you about 1942 Christian St., a vacant corner property owned by an affordable housing developer based in Cherry Hill. A neighbor checked in the other day, and gave us the heads up that this property, which has been empty for about two-and-a-half years, may

Three weeks ago, we gave you the lowdown on a four foot water main break at 21st & Bainbridge that resulted in a river in the Graduate Hospital neighborhood. Impressively, PWD was able to shut off the flow of water down the street and restore water service to almost the

Almost four years ago, a ribbon-cutting ceremony took place, announcing the official opening of Julian Abele Park, at 22nd & Carpenter. Since then, the park has experienced a Rock n' Run, a few 5K runs, farmer's markets, a concert series or two, a new mural (which may be eliminated in the

Last week, the Cambridge opened its doors at 1508 South St., the former home of the sometimes excellent but always kind of gross Tritone. We were able to make an appearance at the new spot's opening night, and were impressed by the total transformation of the space. We were also
