In Loft District

Aerial-combined

After opening six years ago, the Rail Park has become a staple for the several communities that surround the two-block stretch of converted, elevated rail lines in the heart of the Eraserhood. The push from Center City District and their design lead Studio|BryanHanes to create this aerial park - meant

Ahh, (almost) spring: that glorious time of year when the days get longer, the birds begin to sing again, and the Phillies once more give us renewed hope. So, it is only fitting that we find ourselves at the aptly named 1314 Spring Garden St., which provides the same vibes

Callowhill Street provides a uniquely diverse range of experiences as you travel from Front to Broad Street. It starts as a two-lane, two-way street which provides access to both Delaware Ave. and Center City. Heading west, it takes you under a tangle of overpasses for I-95 and then turns into

After checking out all of the construction progress in the Eraserhood the other day, we stopped by the Rail Park to take in the lovely fall foliage. When making our way toward the exit along Noble St., we were met with an image we hadn't seen before: a new apartment

No matter what you call it, the Greater Eraserhood neighborhood is one of our favorites in the city. Despite its remarkably central location, the area straddling Spring Garden St. - roughly from Broad St. to the west and 9th St. to the east - can feel like its own hidden

If you're not overly familiar with the corner of 9th & Buttonwood, we certainly understand. This corner sits in something of a no-man's land, with the structures at 901 Buttonwood St. not exactly giving an architectural reason to journey to this locale. These buildings have also been severely altered since

We visit the Rail Park fairly regularly, but every time we do, we find ourselves wishing we came around even more often. This raised public space, elegantly designed by Studio|BryanHanes, is approaching its five-year anniversary, and its landscaping looks as lush as ever as it cascades over the angular, Corten

If we've said it once, we've said it approximately 5,758 times, but surface parking lots are just not our thing. When said lot is both in a central location AND immediately adjacent to a transit line, we can feel our blood pressure rise, as this is just about the lowest
