In Manayunk

Ugly Moose closed its doors just before the calendar flipped, ending a 15 year run at 443 Shurs Ln. in Roxborough. This closing did not come as a surprise, with buzz about it since the fall and the bar actively counting down the days until the end. Still, for those

Saint Mary of the Assumption, a Catholic Church located on a large campus at 171 Conarroe St. in Manayunk, closed its doors a little over a year ago. This came just a few years after the archdiocese merged Saint Mary's with the St. John the Baptist parish in response to dwindling

We recently discovered plans to redevelop 3900 Main St. while perusing the Zoning Board Calendar, and the address felt oddly familiar. Then we realized that we had written about this sizable chunk of vacant land over five years ago. Yeesh, we've been doing this a long time.The property (five years

We need to do a better job examining our surroundings when we go out to take photos of development. Just last week, we told you about a ten home project that's nearing completion on Green Lane in Manayunk, replacing a parking lot that was previously used by the nearby Saint

The developers at East Main Manayunk have slowly been working their way through the properties that belonged to the

The intersection where Roxborough Avenue hits Ridge Avenue has seen some big changes in the last few years. You may remember, back in 2012, developers demolished the Bunting House, a building constructed in the French-inspired Second Empire style that happened to not be designated as historic. Neighbors were miffed, to put
