In Passyunk Square

We're always game for a good zombie project, and it seems that's exactly what's in store for a crappy looking garage that we last checked in on quite some time ago. You may recall, but we'll understand if you don't, we told you about plans to renovate the former auto garage at 1128

The 1400 block of S. Darien Street is rather hidden, only accessible via the 800 block of Reed Street and dead ending before reaching Wilder Street. Because it's a little off the beaten path, it turns out we haven't visited this block in years. And while it has undergone some

We were passing through South Philly over the weekend and an 'Open House' sign caught our eye on the 1100 block of Federal Street. We actually covered this property, 1108-10 Federal St., about a year ago, telling you that developers were planning to split a double-wide home in half, add a

A reader tipped us off over the weekend after noticing a demolition notice on the northwest corner of 13th & Reed, across the street from Columbus Square Park. This two-story property at 1340 S. 13th St. is used for a few different things according to an old permit, with an

To state the obvious, Passyunk Avenue is great. It's got a bevy of restaurants, a growing collection of locally owned small businesses, and a general vibe that has made it the commercial corridor du jour for at least the last couple thousand jours. You'd think, given the power of Passyunk

Toward the end of 2012, we noticed some 'For Sale' signs posted at a vacant lot at 1312-16 E. Passyunk Ave., and were even kind enough to share this info with the world, with the hope that someone would purchase and redevelop these properties. It may have taken a few

We were meandering around South Philly earlier today and were stopped dead in our tracks by an unexpected sign in the window of 1352-56 E. Passyunk Ave., a building that was most recently home to a Rita's Water Ice but has been vacant for a couple of years. Other people might
