In Fishtown

It was roughly two years back that we told you about the Moyer Street Project, a plan to investigate reinvigorating the cruddy 2400 block of Moyer Street, right off of Aramingo Avenue. At the time, the Olde Richmond Civic Association had crafted a survey to ask neighbors what they wanted to see happen

We were traveling up Frankford Avenue the other day, after enjoying a tasty lunch at Steap and Grind, and we spied what looked like a construction site in its early stages on the 1600 block of E. Eyre Street. Behind the chain link fence, it looks like something was demolished sometime recently.

Lou Wolff Auto has made its home at 501 E. Girard Ave., at the corner of Palmer & Girard, since the 1980s. But East Girard has changed dramatically, and a used car dealership just doesn't make much sense on the corridor anymore. It came as no surprise then, at the end

If we were to hop into our Delorean and travel back a mere three years, we'd see a vast vacant swath of land on Frankford Avenue just past Norris Street, a mix of properties owned by the City and private investors. Back in 2015, we shared the news that Domestic Goods LLC

A reader reached out to us the other day, wondering about a new hole in the ground on the 1300 block of Frankford Avenue. This block is one of our favorites in Fishtown, as it's home to La Colombe, Jinxed, and Kensington Quarters, among other businesses. And it's also steps away from the

The west side of the 1400 block of Frankford Avenue is undergoing a major transformation before our eyes. Turn back the clock half a decade and this block was most prominently home to the Bicycle Stable and a large warehouse belonging to the Chalmur Bag Company. Things are rather different today.Bicycle

957-63 Frankford Ave. is a property that's loaded with potential, with a 6,100 sqft footprint that's across the street from the Fillmore and directly on the path that leads to the heart of Fishtown. The property was available for sale for years, first listed at $1.8M in 2008 and eventually selling for a

A couple years after a proposal stalled out at 1217 E. Columbia Ave., developers are giving it another shot. Currently, this address is home to a warehouse that's a throwback to a more industrial time in the neighborhood. But looking around the area today, the building doesn't much fit in

The Edward Corner building at the corner of Delaware Avenue and Shackamaxon Street has sat empty for as long as we can remember, a blighted link to the area's industrial past. Back in 2010, plans came and went to renovate the building and put a diner on the first floor.

When we learned about plans for a PHS Pop Up Garden at the NKCDC garden center at 1825 Frankford Ave., the idea seemed like an altogether intuitive concept. Philly Compost has used part of this 10K sqft lot since 2011, but from what we understand the rest of the property is generally
