Though East Girard has gotten much of the press over the last few years, West Girard has experienced serious growth as well, most notably with the opening of the supermarket a five years back at 2nd Street. Aside from that large project that included the market, we've seen many existing

A reader tipped us off about some zoning notices at 1602-04 N. 3rd St. in South Kensington, and we decided to investigate. On our way to this property though, it came to our attention that 3rd Street disappears for several blocks in this neighborhood, ending at Thompson Street and resuming

It was over three years ago that we first told you about Soko Lofts and Liberty Square, two major projects that we predicted would change the face of South Kensington.
