Happy Holidays Neighbors!

Lets start on a very sweet note...a new business is opening today. Follow your nose to Via Delizia (1105 NW Marshall) in Bridgeport (East) Condos. Best of luck!

Via Delizia delivers a Tuscan street Wednesday, Nov. 24. Via Delizia--‘street of delights’–-offers exquisite desserts, Italian specialty coffee & espresso, handcrafted Italian gelato (24 flavors daily), breakfast pastries and a hearty lunch menu (panini, salads, antipasta). The health conscious will enjoy sodium nitrite and nitrate-free meats along with a range of fresh ingredients.
