Tomorrow marks the start of the 34th Annual Clifford Brown Jazz Festival in Rodney Square, Downtown Wilmington! Born on October 30, 1930, in Wilmington, Clifford Brown was one of the most influential jazz musicians of the mid-20th century. He began playing the trumpet while attending Howard High School & quickly started playing with numerous jazz greats in Philadelphia. His life ended tragically in 1956, at just 25 years old, when he was killed in an auto accident on the PA Turnpike. Clifford Brown was laid to rest in Wilmington’s Mt. Zion Cemetery.

Happy Friday! Riding the carousel is one of the highlights of any summer vacation. Coulter’s Carousel on the pier at Oak Orchard, just eight miles west of Rehoboth, was popular with the young and young at heart during the town’s heyday as a summer hotspot in the early 1900’s. This photo shows a group posing on the carousel, ca. Summer, 1913.
