In Manayunk

The Ivy Ridge assisted living facility sat vacant and blighted at 5627 Ridge Ave. for quite some time, and we were pleased as punch to see it demolished a little over three years ago. You may recall, we told you that developers were planning a project called Kingsley Court in

Do you love tennis and have a hankering to live in Manayunk? Do you think tennis is just okay but love the Ugly Moose? If either statement applies to you, a new apartment building will soon be built that could be exactly the right place for you. Recently, we spied

Last year, we were tipped off about a pretty cool project happening in Manyunk regarding the second half of a two-building nineteenth century mill complex known as the Shurs Lane Mills. We got in touch with the developers who were willing to give us a tour of the building mid-construction.
