There was a great concert on the plaza tonight. Deb Callahan, a blues signer from Philadelphia, performed with her band for a big crowd of all ages. I haven't heard who will be featured next week yet, but I'm told they will be continuing to mix up the genres a little bit more (it began as a weekly jazz concert).
In other news, it appears that we will be able to enjoy two new restaurants in the next two weeks. Carolina Kitchen is scheduled to open this weekend and Wild Onion is planning to open next week. There is quite a buzz about Carolina Kitchen - the windows are uncovered and everyone who walks by stops to take a peek as the employees are being trained. The interior looks very impressive and I've heard many good reviews of the food at the Largo location. The windows are still covered at Wild Onion, but there is activity inside and I look forward to eating there soon as well.
