Here are some progress photos from the site of Temple's new library! I apologize if they came out a little blurry or crooked! I had to rush to class before being marked late.

Yeah, no interest in taking that bait. Anyway, there's that whole development thing we like to talk about.

This project looks fine for where it's going to be, but nearly all apartment proposals these days are for 'luxury' apartments. That word has pretty much lost any meaning at this point.

Photos: The Royal Theater’s demolition is well underway

Located at 1524 South Street. The demolition will make way for a 5-floor luxury apartment building with ground floor retail. Townhomes will be constructed in the back along Kater Street.

That is going to be absolutely transformational for North Broad, which will make this the second such transformational project after the Divine Lorraine!

With a proposed project at Broad and Spring Garden and development pushing upwards towards Spring Garden from Center City, let's hope this pushes more projects towards Girard!

Signs at the `Met' on North Broad Street to emulate Philadelphia venue's 1930s look

Quote:
The owners of the Metropolitan Opera House on North Broad Street plan to recreate the building’s 1930s signage as part of its effort to restore the historic building for use as a concert venue.

Developer Eric Blumenfeld’s EB Realty Management Corp. is basing the illuminated signs on those seen in a 1937 photograph of the venue identifying it as the “Met,” according to documents filed with the Philadelphia Historical Commission.

They include: a large rooftop sign; a 70-foot-tall “blade” sign along the 1908 building’s facade near its main entrance on Poplar Street; and a large oval-shaped sign affixed near the center of the building’s Broad Street frontage, over an illuminated banner announcing current and upcoming shows.

The Historical Commission’s Architectural Committee is scheduled to review the signage proposal and plans for exterior renovations to the building on March 28.

Blumenfeld has said he plans a $35 million renovation of the building, in which he holds a partial ownership stake, into a theater for concerts and other performances, but he has yet to identify an operator for the venue.

I'm a really big fan of this project at the moment!

One of the things that I like the most about this project is how European it looks. Excluding FMC Tower, 2400 Chestnut, and the Chestnut and Walnut Street Bridges, the Schuylkill has a very European look to it. From the Market Street Bridge, to how the Logan Square/Art Museum neighborhoods look from the Walnut Street Bridge, to the vibrancy along the right bank, the Schuylkill reminds me of when I took a boat ride along the Seine in Paris 2 years ago!
