Back in 2012, we first told you about the likelihood that three buildings on the southeast corner of 15th & Walnut would be demolished and ultimately replaced by a new commercial building. A year later, we checked back in with a new rendering from Bohlin Cywinski Jackson, the guys who famously

Tangier, a quintessential neighborhood bar, has been a stalwart at 18th & Lombard for decades, weathering waves of change in the neighborhood. For many years, the building stood as an island, with a large surface parking lot next door. Last year though, a row of new luxury homes appeared on the
