In Rittenhouse

10 Rittenhouse has been a fixture on the northern end of Rittenhouse Square for several years now, so it's easy to forget the boondoggle surrounding its construction. The project was originally supposed to get underway in 2005, which would have meant its completion in 2007 into 2008. That would have been difficult timing,

For roughly 60 years, the Sidney Hillman Medical Center stood as a Modernist landmark on the 2100 blocks of Chestnut and Sansom. You're probably aware though, that Sidney Hillman was demolished a few years back, replaced by the 2116 Chestnut apartment building. We were happy with the swap of the

If you haven't gone past the intersection of 22nd & South recently, you might not realize that a new five-story building is making some nice progress on the northeast corner. 2145 South St. was home to Omega Pizza for more years than we can remember, offering the rare combination of mediocre pizza

On July 14th, we told you that the City was preparing to sell Health Center No. 1 at Broad & Lombard, through an RFP process.

If you've ever been to Rival Brothers at 24th & Lombard, you've probably noticed a pair of odd homes across the street on the 2300 block. Almost every home on the south side of the 2300 block of Lombard Street comes up to the front of its property line, but for some

Every now and again, a large piece of prime real estate becomes available in Center City, and all the big developers surely take notice. Such is surely the case with 500-510 S. Broad St., the 40K sqft parcel that's been home to Health Center No. 1 for the last few decades.

Developers have been trying to demolish the historic former Oliver H. Bair Funeral Home at 1918-20 Sansom St. for years, and Southern Land Company has finally succeeded where others have failed. This property, along with the neighboring Warwick Apartments and Rittenhouse Coffee Shop buildings, has been in the demolition cross hairs for years because it's

As Walnut Street has become too expensive for many retailers, the western side of Chestnut Street has experienced a resurgence of late, as new stores have breathed life into the corridor. With all the additional commerce, we've been reminded on multiple occasions that Chestnut Street has a great stock of

If you currently park your car at the garage at 2031 Lombard St., you might want to start looking for another garage posthaste. A few months back, we told you that we were hearing whispers that developers had the property under agreement and that the garage would be closing by the end

The Lombard Swim Club is a wonderful place, offering sparkling waters, an open bar, and the occasional sighting of the former Mayor/Governor that now talks about football on television. But it has its drawbacks too. It's pricey, costing roughly four grand per summer for a family of four. And that's assuming you
