In Graduate Hospital

The SRC had marked the EM Stanton School at 17th & Christian for closure back in 2012, but thanks to the hard work and advocacy of parents, students, and neighbors, the school has remained open. And it's a good thing it did, as Stanton students have performed well academically and along with

Turn back the clock a little more than decade, and the 1000 block of S. 17th Street was an urban wasteland. On both sides of the street, almost every property was either a vacant lot or a blighted building. As the Graduate Hospital neighborhood was gentrifying, these properties were sitting

The Frankford Chocolate Factory at 2101 Washington Ave. has been sitting empty for over a decade, and its potential redevelopment is of interest to a whole lot of people in the surrounding area.

It was almost four years ago that we brought the blighted building at 2539 Grays Ferry Ave. to your attention, lamenting its condition and hoping that it would get renovated or demolished sooner than later. A near neighbor first drew our gaze to the property, informing us that the building had

Here we are again, on the corner of 20th & Bainbridge, telling you that a new Loco Pez location is coming down the pike. If this feels like deja vu, it's because we wrote a similar story last fall. And we wrote another story with a similar theme back in the summer of 2015.

The Roberts Center for Pediatric Research has been under construction for the last several years, a dramatic addition to the western side of the largely residential Graduate Hospital neighborhood. The building has about half a million sqft of space dedicated to office space and research for CHOP, and will house over
