In Logan Square

Thanks to roughly three decades of work from Mural Arts, Philadelphia possesses an embarrassment of riches in terms of public visual art. We're no fans of vacant lots or surface parking lots, but when they're adorned by a mural, we tend to find them much more acceptable (it's just when people

This historic building at 1600 Callowhill St. has probably caught your eye at some point, somewhere along the line, even if you've never set foot inside. The handsome structure was built at the beginning of the 20th century and was once home to the Middishade Clothing Factory. It was added to the

Going down 21st Street, it still feels weird not to see the Please Touch Museum building, as it was demolished last summer. As we told you previously, the building wasn't listed on the Historic Register and as a result US Construction was able to demolish it in favor of plans for eight mansions. The

It was almost five years ago that we told you about plans to renovate a blah building on the corner of 17th & Wood, plans that included a 3-story addition with office use on the 2nd and 3rd floors and apartments on the 4th and 5th floors. It would have

We took advantage of the amazing weather on Saturday and visited the Christmas Village on a preview day, and you know we knocked down a waffle within minutes of our arrival. And somehow, we refrained from purchasing anything else. Next time perhaps we won't be so lucky. Afterward, trying to spend

The Christmas Village is one of our favorite things about living in Philadelphia during the holiday season. For those that haven't heard of it slash weren't paying attention a few years ago during the Holiday Village silliness, the Christmas Village is an eating and shopping destination that starts every Thanksgiving

Around this time last year, we reported on the upcoming demolition and development plans for a property at 1823 Callowhill St., across the street from the Granary Apartments. The plan at the time was to demolish a previously City-owned building which once housed the Children's Crisis Treatment Center. Originally built
