In Logan Square

When it's finished, the new tallest building in Philadelphia will be something like the second child outdoing the first. In 2007, when the 57-story 957-foot Comcast Center was completed, it was like the communications giant announcing its arrival as a dominating media lord. A huge building befit a huge company,

Back in December, when we last visited 22nd & Pennsylvania, the Best Western Hotel had closed its doors, suggesting redevelopment of the parcel could be on the way. This property, in case you've forgotten, is slated to become Rodin Square, an exciting mixed-use development that will be quite an upgrade

In yet another example of why Twitter is super cool, today an interesting image came up on our feed from @EricClayWarner. Check it out:Image we saw on TwitterJumping down the rabbit hole afforded by the response from our old friend @GroJLart, we were able to find out some more info about

A reader gave us the heads up recently that 1924 Arch St. is being demolished. Passing by yesterday, we can indeed verify that this is the case. Until a few weeks ago, there was a stately brownstone here. Now, the building is suffering a slow and painful death.In the pastFacade

Back in 2011, plans emerged for the Franklin Institute to expand for the first time in decades. The most interesting part of the museum's expansion is a kinetic "Shimmer Wall," created by artist Ned Kahn. We passed by yesterday, and shot the video. We recommend visiting to museum and the
