Found this old USPS welcome pamphlet that was given to new rural route customers in Delaware. No date anywhere on it, but it definitely seems like it's from the pre-internet days. I enjoy finding everyday paper items like this that were never meant to be kept, but somehow survived.
found several paper menus from the Old Wharf Inn while sorting through an estate. They're simple black-and-white printed menus with lots of Eastern Shore seafood dishes, salad bar offerings, and what look like early 1990s prices.
I recently found several paper menus from the Old Wharf Inn while cleaning out an estate and thought they were a neat piece of Maryland history.
Based on the prices, I'm guessing they're from somewhere around the early to mid-1990s, but I'd love to know if anyone remembers this restaurant or can narrow down the year.
Think about it. Nobody talks about Delaware. Nobody visits Delaware. Most people don't even know it exists — yet somehow it's the most powerful state in America.
Over 50% of US corporations are registered there. It has its own secret court system called the Court of Chancery. No sales tax to lure people in quietly. Even Biden was from there.
The "Delaware isn't real" meme? Planted by the government specifically so nobody looks too closely at what's happening there.
And while everyone's distracted arguing about other world issues, Delaware has been sitting there since 1787 quietly running everything from the shadows.
9/11? Delaware needed to eliminate some competing businesses. The moon landing? Faked so they could register a corporation on it.
Delaware didn't need to be famous. It just needed to be powerful.
We were too blind to see it. The enemy was closer than we thought. It was Delaware all along. 👀
