In Brewerytown

Access to booze is reorganizing in Brewerytown, and MM Partners is unsurprisingly right in the middle of the action. Remember, last year they purchased 2511 W. Girard Ave., the building that was home for many years to a Fine Wine & Good Spirits location. That space became superfluous when a new state store opened on

The SRC voted to close down about two dozen public schools back in 2013, and as the wheels of bureaucracy slowly turn, those school buildings are starting to come back to life. A couple weeks ago, at a community meeting in Brewerytown, neighbors learned about a plan to repurpose the shuttered John

It's been a little while since we last checked in on the 3000 block of W. Stiles Street, as our last visit came over three years ago when we told you about a quartet of homes that were getting renovated. Like many others in Brewerytown, this block has been trending up in

Just yesterday, we shared the wonderful news that the long vacant W.G Schweiker building on the 2600 block of Jefferson Street has a new owner and that renovation could be on the horizon for this fantastic building. When we snapped our photos of the building, we noticed some ongoing construction activity on

The W.G. Schweiker building is one of our favorite buildings in town, even though it's been sitting blighted and vacant for as long as we can remember. According to @mal19104 on Instagram, the building dates back to the turn of the 20th century, and once housed a roofing and construction business
