Nadjah Nicole and Adee talk about Wilmington's music scene

Downtown Wilmington really is the place to be for great live music.

Tuesday evening, a crowd of people at Bobbi Rhian's on Market Street were treated to performances by Nadjah Nicole, who is impressing the judges on the hit show The Voice, and Adee, a hip hop singer from Sweden.

After the show, our cameras caught up with the two performers and asked about their impressions of the Wilmington music scene:

We are fortunate to have so much great talent here and venues like Bobbi Rhian's, the Nomad, World Cafe Live at the Queen, the Grand Opera House and many more to provide the space for artists and audiences to come together.

Get the September Out & About

Out & About magazine comes out every month — and every issue is filled with great articles and information about Wilmington and the surrounding area.

But I think the September issue raises the bar to a new level!

I highly recommend you pick up a copy or take a look at the issue online here.

I am confident that you will gain new insights into the great community we have here as well as learn about all of the fun and entertaining things to do in the coming weeks and months.

Billy Penn on coming to Downtown Wilmington

BillyPenn.com is a website focused on giving Philadelphia residents news and tips, including suggesting travel destinations.

Recently, the site recommended Wilmington as a great place for a day trip - here's an excerpt:

Hang out in the Market Street area for history, shopping and restaurants centered in this downtown area. Rodney Square is right in the center of this business district and is a good place to start walking through the city.

Obviously, I agree with the writer's suggestions.

Making it easier to invest in Downtown Wilmington

The new Downtown Development District plan to encourage investments in properties in downtown areas of Wilmington, Dover, and Seaford is getting better.

Administrators with the Delaware State Housing Authority are proposing a series of changes to the program that will, among other things, lower the minimum qualified investment threshold from $25,000 to $15,000.

I appreciate all that the state of Delaware is doing to encourage people to live, work, play, and invest in our downtown.
