It seems wild, but it was just over a year ago when we made a development journey to check on the action in what we dubbed Lower Fishtown. We've visited a few of those projects since then, but it seemed time to check on what was happening along Frankford Ave.,

When we were visiting the on-the-market Painted Bride the other day, we couldn't help but hint at the crazy amount of action taking place along just one block of Vine St. in Old City. As we peered west from the corner of N. 2nd & Vine, we were struck by

When we think of development in Northern Liberties, much of it revolves around the bustling N. 2nd Street corridor and all of the action down by the waterfront. However, if you scoot just a block west, there is plenty happening along N. 3rd St. as well, where so much is
