In Old City

300 N. Columbus Blvd. has, somehow, been sitting undeveloped for about a century. The property covers about an acre and a half and has been used as a surface parking lot for decades. Before that, it was used a rail yard for the Reading Railroad, dating back to the early

Just two months ago, we provided an update on the status of 230 Vine St., most commonly known as the longtime home of the Painted Bride Arts Center. In case you're late to the game on this one, this building is one of the more interesting and unique buildings in town

We were making our way to Northern Liberties the other day, and as we were passing Dave & Buster's on Delaware Ave., we spotted a couple of projects under construction just to the west. One of them, at 10 Callowhill St., we've covered previously, a little over two years ago. When
