In Grays Ferry

We needed to make a run to the Post Office today and happened upon an unexpected zoning notice at the southwest corner of 27th & Federal. Developers bought the property a little over a year ago, paying a mere $22K for the long vacant parcel, and now they're looking to build

A reader reached out last week, wondering about the opportunity represented by a large property listed for sale in the Grays Ferry neighborhood. 2844 Tasker St. is indeed sizable, with a 61' depth and running 280' along Dover Street. The 17K+ sqft lot is listed for sale for $900K and relatively little creativity a

A reader reached out recently, bringing our attention to a rather unique rehab that's for sale on the 2500 block of Ellsworth Street. 2515 Ellsworth St. previously wasn't exactly a welcoming abode, with worn stucco on the front and a 'Keep Out' sign in the window.Developers bought the property last fall for

Every now and then, we find ourselves on a block for the first time. And that's what happened today after we got a tip about some ongoing demolition on the 2500 block of Alter Street. This block is accessed from 26th Street but dead ends before it gets to 25th

We were cruising through Grays Ferry the other day and some construction caught our eye at 30th & Dickinson. We don't spend so much time in this neighborhood so we confess, we didn't remember what had been here before. Thanks to the magic of Google Street View though, we quickly

It was almost five years ago (man, we've been doing this awhile) that we told you about plans for three duplexes on the corner of 36th & Wharton in the Forgotten Bottom neighborhood. The properties at 3536-40 Wharton St. were sitting vacant, though neighborhood bar Tony D's had stood there

The property at 2500 Reed St. has been sitting vacant for at least a decade, and while our memory doesn't go back much further for the property, we'd think that it was used for some kind of industrial purpose in a previous life. This makes sense, since it sits right

A little over two years ago, we predicted big things for Forgotten Bottom, expecting a ton of new development for the area. And we're still optimistic that this neighborhood is eventually gonna blossom, even if it hasn't happened just yet. For those unfamiliar with Forgotten Bottom, it's a tiny neighborhood that's

While traveling through Grays Ferry a week or two ago, we noticed a pair of new homes on the 2600 block of Latona Street, which was an entirely unexpected sight. We've seen an uptick in construction in this neighborhood of late, but there's still so little getting built here that
