Back in the frigid days of February, we scouted a single-family home going up right next to I-95 on Callowhill Street, just a short jaunt from Old City, Northern Liberties, and the waterfront. That home has been making major progress, though that's not the reason we're back here today. Let's

Today, we're bringing you a new feature for Naked Philly.

Over the years, Race Street Pier, Cherry Street Pier, Fringe Arts and

Old City has been a hub of activity for the restaurant supply business for the last century, but not so much anymore. Back in 2017, the neighborhood's two remaining restaurant suppliers - Economy and Swift - had put their buildings up for sale. The building on the southeast corner of

Greater Center City has boomed over the last number of years, but a handful of areas have felt like they've been left behind. The section of town that sits to the north of Old City and to the south of Northern Liberties is one such area, and to this day
