In Grays Ferry

It was almost five years ago (man, we've been doing this awhile) that we told you about plans for three duplexes on the corner of 36th & Wharton in the Forgotten Bottom neighborhood. The properties at 3536-40 Wharton St. were sitting vacant, though neighborhood bar Tony D's had stood there

The property at 2500 Reed St. has been sitting vacant for at least a decade, and while our memory doesn't go back much further for the property, we'd think that it was used for some kind of industrial purpose in a previous life. This makes sense, since it sits right

A little over two years ago, we predicted big things for Forgotten Bottom, expecting a ton of new development for the area. And we're still optimistic that this neighborhood is eventually gonna blossom, even if it hasn't happened just yet. For those unfamiliar with Forgotten Bottom, it's a tiny neighborhood that's

While traveling through Grays Ferry a week or two ago, we noticed a pair of new homes on the 2600 block of Latona Street, which was an entirely unexpected sight. We've seen an uptick in construction in this neighborhood of late, but there's still so little getting built here that

As we were triumphantly returning home from a successful trip to the new Fresh Grocer over the weekend, we spied a pile of bricks on the 2700 block of Federal Street, just off of Grays Ferry Avenue. We initially figured this to be the site of the (maybe) upcoming Marval

It's been a sorry state of affairs at the Grays Ferry Shopping Center for the last year or so. Ever since the Grays Ferry Pathmark closed its doors at the end of 2015, the shopping center, located on the 2800 block of Grays Ferry Avenue, has been sitting more vacant

In neighborhoods like Callowhill or West Poplar, it's not such a big deal to live near the viaduct since it's 1) no longer used by trains, and 2) turning into one what will be one of the coolest parks in Philadelphia. In Point Breeze and Grays Ferry, not so much.

We're gonna direct your attention all the way back to yesterday's post about how we recently noticed construction at the former Grays Ferry Pathmark because today we have an additional dimension to add to the conversation. You may recall, we weren't sure whether the construction activity signaled that a new tenant

The Grays Ferry Pathmark closed its doors last fall, creating a food desert in the neighborhood and a giant vacancy in the creatively named Grays Ferry Shopping Center. At the beginning of this year, we heard rumbings that Fresh Grocer would be taking over the Pathmark space but we haven't

While taking a stroll on the yet to-be-connected part of the Schuylkill River Trail in Forgotten Bottom, we noticed the unmistakable architecture of a modified building that we recognized from its renderings. Formerly named known as Penn's South Bank, Pennovation Works is currently a modest construction project on a relatively large
