In Graduate Hospital

A friend of Naked Philly tipped us off to this one yesterday, and we couldn't wait to share.

1700 Christian St. is a disaster. It's been a dilapidated, blighted property for over a decade, which is made even more unfortunate by the fact that a school sits directly across the street.

We've gotten so many emails about 1942 Christian St. over the past few months, and have come up fairly empty in terms of answers about it, so today we bring it to you, good readers, to try to find a way to clean up this underused, undermaintained building on a

Back in October, we told you about an ongoing rehab at 2154 Webster St., a former corner store and one of the uglier buildings in the neighborhood. At the time, the developer had done plenty of demo work, and was getting ready to add a third story onto the building.

In December, Toll Bros. proposal for 2400 South St. was approved by the ZBA, this after months (and some would say years) of wrangling with near neighbors, community stakeholders, and SOSNA. For a full rundown of their more-or-less final plan, you can see all

Back in October, we gave you the heads up about some new businesses on the way on the 1500 block of South St. (the same block as the Royal Theater). We gave you the scoop on the planned conversion of the Tritone to a new concept from the Hawthorne's folks,

After last week's SOSNA zoning meeting, we seem to have a little egg on our

Back in November, we told you about 1612-16 South St., three lots with 51' of frontage on South St. that have been vacant for years and had recently been put on the market. While this block has certainly experienced growth in recent years, we imagine this vacant eyesore has depressed

Years ago, we noticed a weird-looking carriage house/warehouse looking building on Dorrance St. in the Graduate Hospital neighborhood. Looking at public record, it appears that it doesn't exist.

Back in March, we told you all about the PHA debacle at 1003-1011 S. 20th St.

To make an excruciatingly long story as short as possible, PHA proposed the construction of the building pictured above, a congregate living facility for low income residents with disabilities, back in 2009. Neighbors and SOSNA opposed

A couple of months ago, we told you about two homes replacing a large garage at 2305-07 Carpenter St.
