The other day, a friend of ours that lives in Pennsport shot us a text with an image of a zoning notice at 1422 S. Front St., an address that rang a bell. Then it hit us. We wrote about this property over a year ago, blasting out to anyone

It was over three years ago that we first brought the north side of the 100 block block of Alter Street to your attention, but the stalled construction has been bogging down the block for almost a decade. From what we can tell, the Stein & Silverman Family Partnership started
