Downtown Visions released the Downtown Wilmington App, a one stop shop for all the happenings in Downtown Wilmington, DE.
In celebration of Women’s History Month, we reached out to two notable women in Downtown Wilmington who have contributed to the vibrancy and enhancement of our community. Jean Dahlgren, President of Delaware College of Art and Design (DCAD) and Eunice LaFate, artist and owner of LaFate Gallery, reflect on their journeys to joining the Downtown community.
Our very own Lani Star Schweiger was recently profiled as one of It’s Time Wilmington’s #PeopleofWilmDE!
Lani is the Senior Brand and Marketing Manager for Downtown Visions and the Program Manager for Main Street Wilmington. As a Wilmington native, Lani’s view of the city is uniquely personal.
“I have lived in the City of Wilmington since I was 3 years old; I grew up in the Triangle neighborhood, and have worked Downtown at Downtown Visions since 2008. I am definitely a city girl at heart.
…I grew up walking Downtown with my mom. We would often grab lunch together and go shopping at Joy Trimming (now closed). My mother always told me stories about how exciting it was to be Downtown when she was a young girl. She loved going to the Warner Theatre with her friends, eating sweets at Federal Bakery and sundaes at the Woolworths counter. Those stories made me want to continue that feeling for other generations to experience and make memories in Downtown Wilmington. I have always loved Downtown Wilmington. I love the deep history and amazing architecture and caring and advocating for this City has always been a personal passion of mine and now it’s also my professional passion.”
