In Grays Ferry

Walk down just about any block in Point Breeze north of Dickinson Street, and you'll surely see some kind of construction activity, or at the very least, a building that's gone up within the last couple years. As development in Point Breeze continues to hum along and competition for properties escalates,

At the northwest corner of 26th & Federal stands the Progressive Worship Center, a Baptist church that's been operating since at least the 1990s. Also since the mid-1990s, an individual named Julius Cooper owned the sizable lots immediately to the west of the church. He didn't exactly keep them in

Lanier Park is a massive patch of green space in the Grays Ferry neighborhood at 2900 Tasker St., taking up an entire city block on the edge of the Greater Grays Ferry Estates PHA development. The park is a wonderful resource for the neighborhood in theory, but like many public green spaces

We were perusing the zoning calendar the other day and were suddenly reminded of a project we'd heard about half a year ago, next to the 25th Street Viaduct. The project in question is planned for 1500 S. 25th St., a roughly 30K sqft parcel that runs for the 400

Every six months or so, we direct your attention to the Forgotten Bottom neighborhood, optimistic that it will soon experience a development boom. So far though, it's been a pretty measured pace for development in this little neighborhood west of 34th Street and south of Grays Ferry Avenue. We still

We've found ourselves in the Forgotten Bottom neighborhood a handful of times over the years, most prominently when the Dupont Crescent section of the Schuylkill River Trail opened back in 2011. As the name suggests, this small neighborhood is off the beaten path, and it covers only a handful of blocks
