The blog includes research from media as well as constant walk-abouts and observations. So if you want more info about development and neighborhood revitalization in Philadelphia, check out http://philadelphiathrives.blogspot.com! Thanks!

Good luck. If you ever see Mayor Nutter in your travels tell him that huge swaths of Chestnut Street and Walnut Street are an absolute disgrace. In particular the YWCA building at 20th + Chestnut. Its an atrosity.

Thanks for your interest. I don't know Nutter, but much of the buildings on Chestnut and Walnut are likely to be renovated or replaced soon enough.

"Huge swaths"? Please. It sounds like you're posting from about 1985. East Chestnut still has room for improvement, but it's hardly "atrocious."

Sounds great, Gabriel. Please keep me in the loop on your posts... Also feel free to check out the Faves page on mine- lotsa links to keep you informed.

Hi, I just wanted to let everyone know that I just made another post to philadelphiathrives.blogspot.com. This one has news about North Philly and Center City. Hope you like it.

I like the content, but I have to say, the harsh contrast in text and the red background is pretty hard on the eyes, especially in areas of a lot of text and few pictures to break it up.

Hi, I wanted to let people know that I made another post. This one has more info about redevelopment in North Philly and a little known project being planned in Center City. You can view my blog at philadelphiathrives.blogspot.com.

Hi everyone. I have just added a new post to my blog about Philadelphia development. I have included some thoughts about the American Commerce Center, especially the need to demand an observation deck!
