In Logan Square

Earlier this year, a tragic building collapse at 22nd & Market made national news. That corner, which was once home to a Salvation Army store, a former sandwich shop, and an adult bookstore, is now a dirt lot. Thousands of people have signed a petition to turn part of this

Sometimes you don't really appreciate a public space until it's gone. Like, for example, the Oval.

On the northern end of Logan Square, large and small project alike are changing the dynamic of the neighborhood. Perhaps the most identifiable of those changes will be the huge project that will see a new Whole Foods and 293 new apartments at 22nd & Pennsylvania, currently the site of the Best

When we last brought up 1919 Market Street about six months ago, we told you that the mixed-use project planned by Brandywine Realty Trust would be delayed indefinitely. This was a bit of a bummer, as this parcel in our central business district has sat vacant for over two decades. But
