Deal seems near on cleaned-up Point Breeze lot

The rift between the city and Ori Feibush has been moving closer to healing, with both sides saying they are working on an agreement that would allow the Point Breeze developer to lease the disputed trash-cleared lot near his coffee shop until the Philadelphia Redevelopment Authority sells it.

Paul Chrystie, a spokesman for the authority, said the sides had not signed anything but hoped to reach a deal soon.
