In Graduate Hospital

A reader tipped us off that two homes were in the process of being torn down on adorable Saint Albans Street, in the Graduate Hospital neighborhood. We went over and took a peek, and it's true- 2026 and 2028 Saint Albans St. are pretty much gone.

Back in October, 1801 Christian St., a vacant shell, was used as one of the bases of operation for the successful BetterBlocks Philly program. At the time, developer Roman Mosheyev proposed the demolition of the building, and its replacement with a single family home. This was after an initial proposal for a two

Last month, we told you about new commercial shutters at 924 S. 20th St., a signal that a corner store was coming to this property, which had been vacant for over three years. At the time, we indicated that execution would be a huge determinant in terms of whether the
