In Point Breeze

We promise, we'll eventually stop being surprised about the continual southern shifting of the development border in Point Breeze. But that day is not today, folks. Last spring, we visited the 1900 block of Fernon Street and noted that this street, formerly overrun by vacancy, had six homes under construction.

We've noticed that developers today are ready and willing to develop any parcel in Point Breeze that they can get their hands on. Looking back a couple of years, we remember when new homes arrived on the 1100 block of S. Sydenham St. and we were pretty surprised that developers

Through some amazing coincidence (we swear, this wasn't planned), we last visited the 1200 block of Bonsall Street exactly one year ago. At that time, two new homes were under construction where Bonsall Street hits the 2300 block of Federal. Those homes are now, as you might guess, finished, with

It's been a few months since we last checked in on the 2300 block of Alter Street in Point Breeze. Back in April, we updated you on the progress of the residential development on the block, noting that additional homes were under construction and many units had sold from the

The 2000 block of Wharton Street is changing and many more changes are on the horizon. First, let's look closer to Point Breeze Avenue where we can see four new homes have been built within the last year or so. Just a couple years ago, three of these four lots

Walking past 1130 S. Dorrance St., you'd think that the residents are stealing cable. Assuming you're able to avert your gaze from the rat's nest of wires hanging from the utility pole out front, you can see there's a long wire draped across the front of the building on Ellsworth

If we turn back the clock a mere two years and visit the 1800 block of Gerritt Street, we find a block with mostly well tended two-story homes, a handful of blighted buildings, and a bunch of vacant lots. The two largest lots were very well tended, and the tables,
