Spring is in the Air: Outdoor dining returns to Media

Media shut down streets downtown Wednesday to give restaurants their first shot at some real outdoor dining this year. 

Media shut down streets downtown Wednesday to give restaurants their first shot at some real outdoor dining this year. 

"It's been a long time waiting to get out and feel a little bit normal so this feels pretty good," Kathy Hilbert, of West Chester, said.

The borough kicked off its popular dining in the streets two months early to give businesses a much-needed boost one year into the pandemic.

A number of stores are extending their hours, hoping for a bump in business like Joyce Walker, who is the owner of Kenny's Flower Shop.

"Little bit by little bit, we're getting back on track. I'm very excited. I have 34 weddings from now until December, so they're coming back, too. Love's love," she said.

Restaurant reservations are highly recommended.
