One of my wife and I’s favorite activities to do is visit a small town and just walk around. I’m not going to list the ones I’ve been to because it would be a long list.
Bonus points for the following items:
Cute book store
Good brewery
Nice winery (or cider)
Cafe or tavern restaurant
Creek or some kind of body of water
No Jersey Shore Please

Hi yall! I’ve lived here for almost 15 years and have still been ordering chocolates from my favorite hometown shop several states away.
I reckon it’s time to find a local spot! Can anyone recommend me one? TIA!
Hi everyone! My fiancé and I are looking for wedding venue recommendations within about 1.5–2 hours of Wilmington, DE for Fall 2028.
We’re expecting 130–140 guests, with 150 max, and our total budget is $35K max. Ideally, we’d love somewhere that allows guests to stay on-site, but we realize that may not be realistic at our budget.
We’re looking for something elegant/beautiful or unique and preferably not a barn, with some flexibility around
catering and vendors. (This may be unrealistic) We’ve gotten some crazy quotes so far and are getting pretty discouraged. We’re definitely willing to consider places we may not have originally thought of, though!
Open to DE, PA, NJ, MD, or anywhere within ~2 hours of Wilmington.
If you had a wedding with a similar guest count/budget, I’d love to hear where you got married, what you spent, and any places you’d recommend!
Auto replenish is set up, but the transponder misses on the bridge every once in a while. Not a big deal, I get it happens.
But tacking on $89 in fees for a $6.00 toll missed on an account in good standing + charity funds that required to be contributed to? Unbelievable.
I feel for the customer service agent that answers my call tomorrow.
Edit: there isn’t even a toll listed?!
I volunteer with a local food injustice organization (food not bombs wilmington) and there have been a lot of requests lately by our unhoused neighbors for extra bags (tote, backpack, duffle, reusable shopping) and i’d like to see what i can get. i have a small budget, but a lot of extra art supplies i don’t need and i can offer baked goods in exchange if anyone has extra bags they don’t need. Located in newark, any pointers are so appreciated.
Visiting and wondering which of the beaches are quieter and easy to access? I have a car or can uber (10m from Rehoboth). TIA :)
I’m looking to get my hysterecomy and I’ve heard she works with transgender individuals. Wonder what peoples experience was like with her? Was the process easy? The whole getting insurance too approve it stresses me out. How soon were you able to schedule your surgery?
He will be 15 next summer but I cannot have another summer like the one we're currently having. Home alone all day destroying the house non stop eating everything sleeping all day up all night keeping everyone up. He's too old and independent for daycare but too young and careless to be home alone. A job would be ideal but is highly unlikely my oldest couldn't even find a job until she was 18. Anyone know of a day camp or some kind of activity that will keep him out of the house while I work. No religious stuff. No organized sports although he does like to play sports casually with friends.

Hi all! I’m relatively new to Delaware, I moved from NYC where I didn’t need to drive a single bit and I’m now trying to get my license.
I’m a pretty anxious driver, I’ve been practicing thankfully but I’m just all strung up about it, especially since I know things are often, different (and worse) in NYC lol.
I have my road test soon at the Wilmington DMV. Anybody recall the path they take you down, what they ask, and whatever I should know?
Any info is helpful and appreciated :)
Ever since some planner decided to change the traffic light pattern, this intersection has turned into a dangerous area to drive or walk in. People coming north, instead of waiting with the rest if us dopes, use the right hand turn lane to the bus stop to speed to the front of the line and cut in. Near accidents constantly here. How about a few planners sit in the bus stop parking lot and observe the mess they have made. Or better yet, stand on the shoulder of the road just north of the second right turn entrance to the bus stop.
I don't think putting up another speed camera will correct thus behavior.
I have a few other areas that I think need addressing also.
Anyone else?
Does anyone know how competitive the night option at the terry campus is? I’ve applied but I don’t have a very competitive score. I’m hoping I’ll be able to squeeze in if it’s less competitive. I want to re take anatomy for an A but I’d rather not pay for it if I have a chance. Thanks!
