In Rittenhouse

Over a year ago, we told you about 325 S. 18th St., a nearly 5,000 sqft shell on the corner of 18th & Delancey. This building has been vacant for over a decade, and changed hands three times in the last few years for as little as $50K and as

A reader reached out, asking if we knew anything about 2201 Pine St., an adorable commercial space in a building dominated by an auto garage/parking lot. For months, a 'For Rent' sign hung in this space that was previously, if memory serves, a construction company's office. Now, there's no sign,

In December, we told you about the demolition of the Sidney Hillman Medical Center, a modernist building next to a much smaller but still historic building originally designed by William Eyre. In the months since, construction has progressed at this site at 2116 Chestnut St., though there's still plenty of work to

The structure at 1622 Chestnut St. conjures images of men speaking into waffle-shaped microphones with funny, high-pitched voices and slick looking moustaches.  An art-deco survivor flanked by chain stores like Men’s Wearhouse and RadioShack, the building shown below in a photo taken from the Temple University Libraries Digital Collection, was erected in 1933.

A reader sent us this listing from Loopnet, which indicates that the 2,000 sqft space that's been home to Krispy Kreme for a little more than a year is available for sublease. When a small, local business like Ramen Boy folds after a short time, it's not really such a

A couple of months ago, when we told you about the opening of the still delicious HipCityVeg, we lamented that the plans for a Crumbs Bake Shop on 18th Street had apparently fallen through. You may recall, we initially told you last summer that Crumbs intended to take over 133

As we were walking over to Quick Fixx the other night for some quick but delicious dinner, we noticed some new signage at 1609 South St., most recently home of Pumpkin Market. You may recall, this business moved across the street to 1610 South St. a couple of years ago,

Last year, the The Pennsylvania Horticultural Society organized a pop-up garden at an embarrassing vacant lot at 20th and Market Streets, alongside some of the tallest buildings in town. Well, PHS is doing it again, this time at an even more embarrassing vacant lot, on the 1900 block of Walnut Street, across

A few months ago, we told you about the upcoming arrival of Shake Shack, a New York chain specializing in burgers and shakes ('natch) at the corner of 20th & Sansom. More recently, we brought this construction site to your attention again, noting the excellent and unexpected addition of greenery

Back in December, we told you about a facade restoration (well, replacement) at 1942 Lombard St., a home located two doors down from the wonderful Pub & Kitchen. During the (many) months this project was taking place, the resulting blocked sidewalk make it a little dicey to get to P&K's
