In Fishtown

If you've grabbed a coffee at La Colombe on Frankford Avenue at any point in the last year or so, you've probably noticed a construction site directly across the street.

A reader reached out the other day, giving us the heads up that construction is finally moving forward at 1019 E. Columbia Ave., a mere five years after we first looked at the property. Back then, developers had purchased this large parcel at the intersection of Columbia Ave. and Salmon
