In Northern Liberties

Northern Liberties was once a hub of industry, but only a handful of industrial businesses remain in the neighborhood as it has swung aggressively toward residential development over the last decade plus. And as land has become more valuable, we've seen some of the exodus first hand, with a notable

We were cruising through Northern Liberties last week, daydreaming of warmer weather, when a zoning notice caught our eye from a distance. There's a small vacant lot at 231 W. Wildey St. which is surrounded by a wooden fence decorated by images of flowers that look like roses to us.

There's a triangular parcel that's created by the intersections of Germantown Avenue, Pollard Street, and Front Street/I-95 that's been seeing some serious development activity over the last year or so. We actually told you about plans for 1007-1013 Germantown Ave. a couple years back, when the property was sitting vacant,

If somebody asked you what comes to mind when you think of the 700 block of W. Girard Ave., you'd probably have to mull over the question for a minute, then grab your phone for assistance, before realizing that the original Tiffin makes its home on that block. If you're into

Back in November of 2015, news broke that one of the most prominent empty lots in Northern Liberties, officially addressed as 1002 N. 2nd St., was finally being sold to a developer after serving as a lot that was occasionally used for parking. This lot is right across the street
