In Graduate Hospital

We've always had a soft spot for 1747 Christian St., a building that housed the neighborhood Post Office once upon a time. In 2005, as development in the neighborhood was reaching a fevered pitch, it wouldn't have been a surprise at all to see a developer come forward with a

It's a fact that every neighborhood has better blocks and worse blocks. In many cases, geography plays a role in that determination- you'd clearly be happier looking out your window at a park rather than, say, the El. And while the views on the 1900 block of League Street could

Perhaps you've noticed 2200 Catharine St. on your way to Sidecar for brunch, or en route to SoWe for happy hour. Until fairly recently, the fenced-in corner lot, which covers less than 1,000 sqft, featured some overgrown trees, some cracked pavement, and some dodgy-looking benches. It looked like it could

Around 9pm last night, a 48-inch water transmission main broke at 21st & Bainbridge. The

A month ago, we told you about the horrendous signage at the newly opened Reyes Grocery on the corner of 20th & Carpenter. Thanks to the efforts of near neighbors, the owners of this establishment willingly removed the offensive signs, and entered into a cooperative arrangement with these neighbors to

1944 South Street has been available for sale or lease for quite some time, and it appears that the owners have finally found a taker. This beautiful building has held a gallery in its commercial space for years, though the hours were varied and the gallery seemed to come and

For years, 1610-14 Christian Street drove us crazy. The three brownstones in shell condition on a block with a couple of million dollar homes represented a throwback to what countless Christian Street homes looked like just a decade ago. In spite of the redevelopment happening in all directions, these homes

A few days ago, The Christian Street Cafe, a new corner store/cafe business opened at the corner of 17th & Christian. This space has been vacant for years, aside from a short spell last fall as an event space for BetterBlockPhilly. The store, which is apparently not yet finished filling its
