In Washington Square West

We were in the area the other day and noticed that Tutti Frutti, located at 1315 Walnut St., was no more. The space, which was previously a Bonte outpost, is currently available for rent by Goldman Properties, according to the sign in the door.

While some may be a little frustrated

At nearly every point in its history, the structure at 925 Chestnut Street has held an occupant of considerable stature. Today, the Rothman Institute at Jefferson operates from this historically rich part of Center City, making it a top destination for orthopedic treatment in the region and a valuable entity in Philadelphia’s vaunted

In grittier times in "Midtown Village," Full Moon Saloon was, well, exactly what the name suggests.

What formerly housed antiques has now been renovated as Mama's Wellness Joint, a women and family-centered wellness center. This establishment found a spot in one of Philadelphia's historic neighborhoods, at 1100 Pine St., which contained Maranca's Antiques for many years.

In the past, we've covered renovation projects at a couple of playgrounds in Philly, including Dickinson Square Park, Roberto Clemente, and Comegys Elementary. This month, another playground project is taking place, this time at Seger Playground, located at 1020 Lombard St., in the Wash West neighborhood.

About a week ago, construction began

If you've visited Jeweler's Row in the last year, you've probably noticed a sizable construction project taking place on the southwest corner of 8th & Walnut. For decades, a seven-story parking lot made its home on this corner, a disappointing remnant of a plan that never came to fruition. According to an
