In Passyunk Square

Roughly two months ago, we shared the news that a demolition notice had appeared on the large warehouse on the northwest corner of 13th & Reed. This building has had several uses over the years, including auto repair and mummer equipment storage, but it's most prominently known as the home of theater company Theatre

If you ran Broad Street on Sunday, and you're a tourist, perhaps you made your way to Pat's or Geno's to reload after your triumphant ten mile run. If you did indeed visit either establishment over the weekend, it's possible you noticed some relatively new 'For Sale' signs in the immediate vicinity.We've covered both of these

In real estate development, construction delays and cost overruns are the norm- and we see it all the time on projects both large and small. We often find ourselves saying that this project or that project are taking longer than we would have expected, a phrase we should probably scrap

We were meandering around South Philly earlier today and were stopped dead in our tracks by an unexpected sign in the window of 1352-56 E. Passyunk Ave., a building that was most recently home to a Rita's Water Ice but has been vacant for a couple of years. Other people might

It's

We were walking down Tasker Street shortly after polishing off a delicious slice from Francoluigi's when a rather massive structure caught our eye on the 1500 block of Camac Street. This block seemed oddly familiar, and then we realized that we'd covered this project back when it was first proposed

It's been about a year since we last visited the 600 block of Federal Street, at which point we told you about two exciting projects for the block. You may recall, developers had just purchased an ugly stuccoed former auto shop in the middle of the block and had plans
