This public space was inspired by Franklin Square, one of William Penn's original five parks for the city, and has been a part of its namesake neighborhood since 1859. The low-rise lined park

Just yesterday, we told you about a 200 plus unit building in the works on the 1700 block of N. Front Street. It turns out that at the same community meeting, different developers presented plans for a new project nearby on the 1700 block of N. 2nd Street. This project will
