Tuesday shorts: Give your input on the revitalization of the west side, benefit for the Arden Concert Gild, 15 year win streak for Iron Hill Brewery

1) New interactive website lets you have input on the revitalization of the west side of Wilmington (which includes the areas around Canby Park and Little Italy).  The site was designed by Interface Studio and commissioned by the West End Neighborhood House, as well as other neighborhood organizations and businesses.  How the website works: view the map of the west side that's provided on the site, click on a spot within the map that needs improvement, and submit comments and suggestions that will correspond with place markers that will then appear on the map.  As an example, someone else wrote "More trash cans" for a spot on Union Street.  I think this is a great idea.  Website here.

1) Have lunch, dinner or drinks at Stoney's Pub to benefit the Arden Concert Gild.
Spend money at Stoney's today (Oct .11), from 11am-1pm, and 10% of the proceeds will be donated to the Concert Gild to help with the enormous costs of replacing the roof of Gild Hall.

2) Congrats to Iron Hill Brewery for a 15 year winning streak at the Great American Beer Festival.  This year they received a bronze medal for their Grand Inquisitor Stout, a bronze medal for their Vienna Red Lager, and a silver medal for their Russian Imperial Stout.   Full story over at Iron Hill's webpage.
