northern liberties: We Love Murals in Northern Liberties - 08/04/11 02:15 AM
Today we read a great post by JoAnn Greco at PlanPhilly about something exciting going on near Bodine High School at George and Orianna St in Northern Liberties. This school is right next to the Orianna Street New Construction Project and it's about to be the location of a little more eye candy...One of the biggest mural projects is officially under way at Bodine,  reports PlanPhilly.
It took a lot of work, permits, and red tape to get this project going.  We especially love that everything is re-used and nothing that is taken from the site ever leaves the site.  The murals … (3 comments)

northern liberties: Fresh Address: 933 N Lawrence Street - 08/01/11 05:47 AM

northern liberties: Hancock Street Gets Some Razzi-matazz - 07/25/11 09:10 AM
Leo Razzi. You may not know him personally but if you have walked through Northern Liberties, then you know his sculpture work. Bike racks, gates, door accessories, local restaurants. Razzi's touch on the neighborhood is one that will continue to shape and influence the design of the area for years to come. And perhaps inspire others...
Razzi doesn't know it but we're naming this sculpture "Little Leo".  So far, the neighbors, dog walkers, and passersby love it. We were a little worried that not everyone would share or appreciate this type of art as a permanent fixture for the block. Bottom … (0 comments)

northern liberties: Northern Liberties Supermarket Update: Super Fresh? - 07/15/11 02:04 AM

The neighborhood of Northern Liberties certainly has many small, independent shops, gourmet delis and cafes, and there always seems to be plenty of spots for those looking to grab a unique bite. One thing it is missing, if you ask any resident, is a full supermarket to serve the rapidly growing community.
For the past few years, the neighborhood was promised a Pathmark next to the Piazza, which we've covered before. And then there were some issues with parent company A&P filing for bankruptcy last year...
Now we're hearing that the Pathmark could instead be a Super Fresh, from the … (7 comments)

northern liberties: Northern Liberties is Full of Pig - 07/11/11 07:34 AM
 
The Blind Pig, or the Pig, as we already affectionately refer to it, feels like it's been open for ages. You walk inside Northern Liberties' latest watering hole and friendly barkeep John hands over the Canned Beer List. The chalkboard wall next to the bar has the day's specials along with the draught list.  You might see a Lime Rickey or an Alligator Sausage Sandwich next to a sketch of a flying pig, with his eyes X'ed out. And while that might have you wondering how comfortable you'll be here, just trust us: You will surely feel at ease here. … (0 comments)

northern liberties: Ortlieb’s Jazzhaus Back in the Swing - 07/05/11 07:48 AM

We're simply jazzed to see what was a Northern Liberties institution back on the menu soon. Ortlieb's Jazzhaus, the neighborhood music venue and drinking establishment that was rated Top 10 Jazz Clubs in the Country by Playboy, is to be revived by Avram Hornik and Mark Fichera. The jazzhaus could be open as soon as the liquor license is transferred, according to the Insider. Hornik is behind several Center City and Old City bars.
Whether or not it will be just as we remember it, well, we'll just have to wait and see. A stroll by over the weekend revealed … (2 comments)
