In Logan Square

It was almost five years ago that we told you about plans to renovate a blah building on the corner of 17th & Wood, plans that included a 3-story addition with office use on the 2nd and 3rd floors and apartments on the 4th and 5th floors. It would have

We took advantage of the amazing weather on Saturday and visited the Christmas Village on a preview day, and you know we knocked down a waffle within minutes of our arrival. And somehow, we refrained from purchasing anything else. Next time perhaps we won't be so lucky. Afterward, trying to spend

The Christmas Village is one of our favorite things about living in Philadelphia during the holiday season. For those that haven't heard of it slash weren't paying attention a few years ago during the Holiday Village silliness, the Christmas Village is an eating and shopping destination that starts every Thanksgiving

Around this time last year, we reported on the upcoming demolition and development plans for a property at 1823 Callowhill St., across the street from the Granary Apartments.

The brand-spankin’-new Philadelphia Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (LDS) is really a sight to behold. With its soaring spires (208 feet high), grey granite facade, and neoclassical exterior architecture, it completely sticks out among the various new buildings being built in our fair city. Indeed,

We have a number of friends that moved to the Sterling at 1815 JFK Blvd. post-college because the building offered reasonable rents and an outstanding downtown location. But the building was really showing its age, and the rents were reasonable because the apartments were generally crappy. Aimco, owners of the Sterling

Our inner child shed some tears today when we discovered ongoing demolition activity at 208-12 N. 21st St., a building we visited many times back in the day when it housed the Please Touch Museum. We've known this was coming for the last few months, but that didn't make it easier to
