If we've said it once, we've said it approximately 5,758 times, but surface parking lots are just not our thing. When said lot is both in a central location AND immediately adjacent to a transit line, we can feel our blood pressure rise, as this is just about the lowest

After our lower Fishtown check-in following Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3 of our development journey, we make our way to the Delaware River Waterfront, where several projects are well underway in this rapidly changing area. After few projects over the last couple of decades, there is development everywhere

After stopping by the massive Piazza Alta site to continue our charge of development site visits, let's explore the very southeastern corner of Fishtown. Here's that handy-dandy map again, to get a rough idea of what we're talking about.South of Girard Ave. can sometimes get lost in the shuffle, but

Last week, we covered the first leg of our six-part series chronicling some of the construction taking place in the northeast quadrant of Greater Center City. Today we shuffle a bit to the east, where things are booming in what we're calling Upper Northern Liberties, as "Northern Northern Liberties" is

Earlier this week, we made an unplanned trek across several adjacent neighborhoods, where a boatload of development is taking place. This trip was short, but very sweet, traversing a sizable chunk of the northeast quadrant of Greater Center City. Over the next several days, we are going to check on

Who doesn't love a good public space? We love the fresh air, trees, plants, activated areas for people to gather and enjoy each other's company, and/or the chance for some solitude in the city. The issue is, not all public spaces would be considered "good" with this definition. One such

Boy oh boy, has Washington Avenue undergone some changes over the last few years. With projects popping up all over the place and the newly paved (and partially safer) roads, the industrial-heavy past is slowly making a sharp turn toward a mixed-use future. One place where this change is very

Over the weekend, a zoning permit for the complete demolition of the structure at 210-12 N. 12th St. in Chinatown caught our attention. When we first saw this notice, we didn't think too much of the property at the NW corner of 12th & Spring, where a handsome but neglected
