Sneak Peek of Poplar Point!

One of the most unique properties in Northern liberties is projected to be listed on the market mid February. Take a sneak peek. List price is...well if you contact me I'll give you the inside scoop!

The 2 properties are beautifully appointed with thoughtfully chosen finishes so that they are not like every other new construction property out there. 902 and 904 New Market are the epitome of coolness with every angle, window and soffet intentionally spaced. This address incorporates the location and urban landscape right into the home. Daring and full of energy, but also warm and sophisticated.

902 with highrise inspired windows facing Poplar Street is breathtaking.

For those looking for something that follows more of a formal open floor plan, there is unit 904. This unit has a bold open layout on the first floor that is an absolute pleaser to everyone who enters with maximum flexibility to arrange furnishings and entertain.

Both properties offer finished decks and finished basements, private yards and gorgeous bamboo throughout, recessed lighting, cabinetry, appliances, and finishings that are trend on and chosen to provide lasting beauty for years and years to come.

Look for Poplar Point right here this February!

North Shore Beach Club Washes Ashore in No Libs

Last month we found out that Arrow Swim Club would be undergoing a few changes this summer.  New name, new management, and...new lower prices?

We received an email from the new North Shore confirming that Brian Nagele owner of philly2night.com and Kings Oak has indeed taken over the space for next season. The swim club will stay 21+, but membership fees will drop to $500 per person (from last season's $1,000). The season runs from May 1st through October 31st.  Guest passes will cost $20 per day. Only 500 memberships will be offered for the 2012 season (100 have already been taken).  Applications are now up at www.northshorebeachclub.com.

Are you jumping in? We're curious to know if the new lower price will convince more people to sign up.

Meet Your Neighbors: Bloom in Northern Liberties

Welcome to Bloom in Northern Liberties. This boutique is one of my favorites for women's apparel, jewelry, accessories, and gifts. I love shopping here. The girls who work here are beautiful and know their stuff. Their selections are unique and you won't be wearing the same clothing that all the other girls are wearing, plus, they have one of a kind jewelry that really lets you make that personal fashion statement. Trust me girls, you'll love this place! So, if you are ever in the neighborhood shopping, you must make it a point to visit Bloom at 1001 N 2nd Street in The Piazza at Suite 20, just across the walk from the renowned PYT, home of Tommy Up. Only in Northern Liberties. See you there!

Books, Beans, and Circles to Northern Liberties

Late winter will welcome two new businesses to the Northern Liberties neighborhood - Books N Beans Wifi-Cafe-Bookstore and the second location of one of the city's best thai BYOs, Circles.

The hybrid Books N Beans aims to be the spot for both modern and old-fashioned coffee drinkers - those who like to browse the web and catch up on their tweets while they sip their latte and those who like to read a real live book that's not on a Kindle. They'll offer textbook rentals, accept book donations and buy used books, and sell digital readers. Opening soon at 155 W. Girard Avenue (across from the Superfresh).

Circles will fill the former 2nd Street Pizza space at 812 N. 2nd Street.  The Thai byo that received 2 bells (Very Good) from Craig LaBan already has a strong following for its supremely spicy food (don't order Thai Hot unless you mean it) at very reasonable prices. For now you can follow the opening @CirclesNoLibsbut they are already teasing March.
