A new swing bridge over the Schuylkill River just south of the Grays Ferry Avenue Bridge is scheduled to open on November 13 at 2 p.m., finally closing a missing link in Philadelphia's trail network after years of setbacks. The 1,000-foot span, known as Schuylkill Crossing, will connect Bartram's Garden and Grays Ferry, giving pedestrians and cyclists an off-road path between Southwest Philadelphia and Center City.

Why so many historic Philadelphia street lamps are shaped like the letter 'P'

Hundreds of historic lampposts in neighborhoods like Society Hill and Old City curve into an arch resembling a capital "P," carrying fixtures known as "Franklin lights."

Santa better whip out his wallet in Philly

Santa Claus is coming to town, and he better bring a big, fat wallet because Philadelphians are spending less on holiday gifts than in years past. Why it matters: Making kids and adults happy this time of year isn't cheap. Driving the news: Philadelphia shoppers are projected to spend $1,484 this year, down from $1,777 in 2024, per Deloitte's holiday retail survey . That's less than the national spending average ($1,654), which is increasingly being driven by millennial and Gen Z shoppers. 77% of those surveyed are expecting higher prices. The big picture: Philly shoppers are buying holiday gifts earlier in the year , with 23% of those surveyed saying they'll have already blown through their holiday budgets by October. Black Friday is still expected to be the city's biggest spending day, with many shoppers preferring to hunt for deals in person rather than online. How it works: Deloitte surveyed 413 Philadelphians between late August and mid-September, with a margin of error of ±5 percentage points.

Zoning Board Rejects 420-Unit Lancaster Avenue Project, Developer Vows Fight

5100 Lancaster Ave. — Approximate Site of Proposed 45-Unit Building. A proposal to build 420 apartments across three Lancaster Avenue properties in West Philadelphia's Cathedral Park area has stalled at the Zoning Board of Adjustment, which ruled against the developer following a contentious hearing on Oct. 21. The plan from Haverford Square Properties called for 42 affordable units, but it also asked for a building six feet taller than current zoning allows, a sticking point that proved decisive before the board.
