"Who remembers the DSTP?"
Every Delaware kid who sat through the DSTP is getting flashbacks from this one, me included.

A weekly look around Wilmington.
- Free
- Tuesday morning
- About a five-minute read
Hey, neighbor. Every Tuesday I send one email about what's going on around Wilmington, from the Riverfront out to Newark and Hockessin, down to Middletown, and over the line into Cecil County. That means the stuff worth doing this weekend, what's getting built down the road, people making cool things, a little local history, and the funniest stuff from local social media. It's free, it's short, and it's written by someone who lives around here.
Drop your email. I'll show up Tuesday morning.

Art Loop Wilmington, with a stop at Jester Artspace
Art Loop Wilmington runs the first Friday of every month, and November's is Friday, Nov 6, from 5 to 8. It's free and self-guided, so pick a few galleries and wander. A shuttle runs 5:30 to 8:30 from The Delaware Contemporary. One stop I'd make is Jester Artspace at 2818 Grubb Road, where the members' show "Connected" has a reception from 5:30 to 7:30. Grab the map, start at the shuttle, and see where it takes you. IN Wilmington

It's on view through Nov 20, weekdays 10 to 4 and Saturdays 10 to 2. The opening reception is Friday, Nov 13, from 5 to 8, with refreshments and live music. It's the kind of show where you'll recognize half the places in the pictures. And if you go, read this week's Deep cut before you walk Main Street.

Pumpkins and bonfire nights at Ramsey's Farm
