In June, we detailed a proposal from Universal Companies to tear the rear off the historic Royal Theater for the purpose of building market rate houses fronting Kater St. That plan also involved preserving the facade and using the remains of the building for "community space." In looking at the

The media hyped Irene tremendously and most of us made it through unscathed. While it's easy to shrug off the buildup to the storm as a product of the ratings-hungry local and national media, the threat was present, preparation was a good idea, and damage did occur in Philadelphia. A

Washington Ave., a wide thoroughfare close to Center City that is underutilized to say the least, is in the early stages of a transition that could ultimately have a tremendous impact on the neighborhoods that surround it. At 11th and Washington, the former Curtis Publishing printing building has turned into

As we mentioned a few months ago, the 10 new houses are being constructed on the site of the old Varick AME church at 19th and Catharine Sts.
