Free Concert Sunday

It's always great to experience live music - and it seems like Downtown Wilmington has more and more opportunities to enjoy those experiences.

Here's a post I just came across:

Join Terretta Storm on Sunday Febuary 5th for a free acoustic show at the Market Street Mall Starbucks in Downtown Wilmington! While you sip on your cup of warm coffee you'll get to enjoy the alternative rock/soul music of the rising local artist Terretta Storm!

Come on out for great music Downtown!

Great news for Downtown Wilmington

This week is exciting in Downtown Wilmington - we're seeing new businesses opening and our friends at Chemours and Buccini/Pollin are working on some long-term plans.

The Buccini/Pollin Group has purchased the historic DuPont Building from Chemours and will lease it back to the Wilmington chemical company on a long-term basis as part of a significant redevelopment that could turn the 110-year-old landmark into a mixed-use facility.

You can read the full story from the News Journal by clicking here.

I am excited about all that this means for our Downtown Wilmington community!

Great things are happening here.

Coffee Mode - First Ribbon Cutting of 2017

I can think of no better way to start a new year than with the opening of a new business in Downtown Wilmington.

In the lobby of 919 Market Street is Coffee Mode, where you can now enjoy some truly unique coffee and tea offerings as part of the third wave coffee movement.

You can check out photos, video, and more on the ribbon cutting event from WDEL and Town Square Delaware.

Here's to an exciting 2017 - we're off to a great start!

Downtown Wilmington featured as a great place to live

North American Van Lines has a great resource for people moving to new locations - a guide listing places to check out in the region.

A recent post on the guide outlines places people should check out when they move to Wilmington, including The Grand on Market Street.

Here's an excerpt:

The Grand Opera House is a majestic performing arts theater that's dedicated primarily to opera, ballet and symphony shows. However, other concerts and events are held at this ornate opera house from time to time. Tickets to these shows are very affordable, providing you with the opportunity to travel to The Grand Opera House on numerous occasions. As there is a lot of variety when it comes to the events held at the opera house, you're sure to have a different experience each time you stop by.

I am proud that Downtown Wilmington continues to get national recognition as a quality place to work, play, visit, and live.
