Philadelphians share how they feel about housing costs, affordability, and security in a survey ahead of the mayor's race. And the owner of a historic Black cemetery is a mystery.

The Society to Preserve Philadelphia African American Assets is leading an effort to preserve and enhance a cemetery in the Far Northeast. But it isn't clear who owns the property.

The childhood home of famed American painter Henry Ossawa Tanner has long been in ruins but efforts are underway to change that. 

The Philadelphia Historical Commission voted unanimously Friday to create the Christian Street/Black Doctors Row Historic District, capping a yearslong effort to preserve the area referred to as a “main street” for upper-middle-class Black Philadelphians in the 20th century.
