In Logan Square

The Four Seasons is a sanctuary of opulence amid the bustle of Logan Square.  Enclosed by 18th, 19th, Race, and Cherry Streets, the five-star hotel brand came to Philly in the 1980s.

We admit, we're not big Peco fans. Sure, they sell us the delicious electricity needed to run our air conditioners, refrigerators, and Playstations, but there's just something about sending that check each and every month that keeps us from feeling all warm and fuzzy. On the other hand, Peco has

Not only does the Franklin Institute have a walk-through replica of the human heart and a sculpture of Ben Franklin the size of a dinosaur, but it also has a colorful history that predates its instatement at 20th and Race Sts. by more than a century.

A new restaurant and bar, what sort we have yet to discover, is coming to 1822 Spring Garden St., perhaps by mid-summer.

It still may be many months before workers break ground

Last summer, we updated you on the progress on phase 1 of Mode7, four ultra-high end, ultra-fancy, and ultra-pricy homes right around the corner from Coxe Park.

We were in the area just the other day, and noticed that the second pair of homes, merely framed out last summer, appear close to

Recently, two individuals who live nearby nominated Coxe Park, located at 2136 Cherry St., to be considered for the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places.
