Downtown Visions released the Downtown Wilmington App, a one stop shop for all the happenings in Downtown Wilmington, DE.
Downtown Wilmington has an exciting new feature - a community garden on Market Street!
If you come out to the 400 block of North Market Street you can see the fruits and vegetables being grown there.
Here's Mark Fields and Pat Shay talking about the garden...
And here's Loshawn Maxwell talking about the success she's enjoying with her tomato plants...
Come on out and see what's growing in Downtown Wilmington!
Downtown Wilmington is a great place for creativity in the fashion world.
Cherne Altovise is one place you definitely want to check out for fashion - and our friends at Out and About Magazine just featured Cherne Bishop for her work in bringing great fashion to the area.
Here's an excerpt:
Class of 2012 University of Delaware fashion merchandising major Cherné Altovise Bishop, owner of the 316 N. Market St. accessories shop Cherné Altovise, is enthusiastic about her store’s approaching one-year anniversary on Oct. 17.
The milestone is just one check on the 26-year-old entrepreneur’s list of career goals, which includes future locations in Philadelphia, Baltimore and New York City – all of them based on her slogan of creating options for the “everyday fashion icon.”
I encourage everyone - men and women alike, to come on out and see the beautiful fashion and jewelry Cherne has to offer.
The creativity is flowing in Downtown Wilmington!
For over ten years, Urban Bike Project has been supporting Wilmington communities by providing access to bicycling as a healthy, affordable and practical means of transportation and recreation.
Here's Paul Waters from the Urban Bike Project to explain what they do:
This Friday, September 30, you can help out by donating any used bikes or bike parts you might have at Rodney Square.
Come on out Friday to Rodney Square to learn more, drop off your bike, or sign up to have your bike picked up on Saturday.
You might also want to learn more about joining up with the Urban Bike Project - it's a great organization that's always looking for more people to get involved!
We have a truly remarkable artistic community in Downtown Wilmington - and this past weekend one of the cornerstones of that community held a fantastic celebration.

We are fortunate to have so much talent in Downtown Wilmington.
I love the community we have in Downtown Wilmington - there's a real sense of partnership and excitement.
