Delaware

[Michael]

The place to dicuss local topics and to meet others in your area.

Shouldn't this be called Delaware?

:)

[punkmommy]

hehehe...I think it's just Max there. I'm about 10/15 min from Delaware.

[Max Power]

More like "Dela-where?". Yes, I'm suggesting a question mark be included in the name. Delaware's claims-to-fame:

It was the first (and worst) state to ratify the US Constitution.
It was the setting for Fight Club.
It was originally called "New Sweden".
It has the second-highest poultry output of all the states.
Bob Marley lived here for about 2 years, working in the Wilmington iron harbors, to make money to record his band.
It is the home of Dupont Chemicals, in all its evil glory.

And perhaps its greatest accomplishment: It is the ephemeral home of one Max Power.

Well since Delaware was at the bottom of the list, I thought I'd bring it back into focus. I'm going to DE tomorrow. This will be two days this weekend, is that a record?

Deleware = A merger between delete and beware...

[punkmommy]

Max, you might find this funny. I think I'm moving back to Delaware (Wilmington). My husband and I have a chance to get a house! I tried to stay away for so long- but oh well, I'm tired of renting. I think I might hate West Chester.

[WushuMom]

I'm surprised Delaware was even listed!

Delaware's not THAT bad... if you could just kick out all the power plants, farms, thugs and pretty much take out everything except the tax free shopping :)

[DelTremens]

Eh, the beaches are nice. But I can't smoke in the bars, so yeah, its a wash.

[DanaJ]

I'm not all that far from Delaware. Work in the West Chester, Pa area.

[DelTremens]

I have a friend there, Dana. I'm about 2 hours from Rehoboth.

[DanaJ]

Cool, Del. Rehobeth isn't that bad.
My aunt lives in Dover, so that's usually where I go when I go to DE.
I can't remember if the last time if I was in Wilmington or Dover.

[DelTremens]

I actually haven't been that far outside the Lewes/Rehoboth area. I think I was in Dover once.

[DanaJ]

Wow. That sounds so weird to me, considering Delaware is pretty small:)

[DelTremens]

Well, when I met my girl she was living in Delaware, and so I only went to see her. Now we have tons of friends at RB, so we go to see them. No reason to travel that extensively in the remainder of the state.

DELAWARE IN THA HIZZYYYYY!!!

wow. that's exactly the sort of thing they DO say in delaware :rolleyes:

I'm a proud UD graduate. go blue hens.

[DanaJ]

Makes sense. Besides, there's not all that much to see in the rest of the state LOL

Hey, get outta our thread! You left us! :whip: :lol:

[WushuMom]

We're in Middletown and though it's quite boring at times... it's not too bad. The only thing that sucks is that we have no health food store here and no Target! (yet).

[lauratiara]

I live in Newark, DE. It is a collegey town, and there are health food stores, and the supermarkets near me have excellent vegan selections. Also, does anyone eat at 'Homegrown' in Newark? There food is the shizznit.
(DE is not that bad btw-it has beaches and is a reasonable train ride or drive to NYC or DC.-so don't be hatin')

I used to live in Newark, now I have to drive there every weekend to restock my vegan essentials. I only wish there were bigger selections and cheaper prices! I especially wish there was a healthfood store in Middletown. There's Willy Farms, but they have a smaller selection than anything in Newark.

Ever been to Main Squeeze next to the co-op? My friend (also vegan) works there. The veggie panini can be made vegan and it's the bizzy bomb!

I haven't been to Home Grown in over two years, do they have more vegan things on their menu? I loved their falafel pita sandwich, but it didn't love me back. What kind of stuff do they have at Sinclair's?

[punkmommy]

Homegrown is the one of the only places I eat at in DE. We rarely eat out though. I live in Wilmington. I was at that AR conferece at the Riverfront back in January- that was put on by AFA, right? I get the meet-up e-mails too, but we're pretty broke and they'll usually fall on a no-paycheck weekend :lol:

[bethann]

I love the Homegrown, so nice to go someplace where I have loads of choices on the menu. I'm working on my degree at UD, and I live in Claymont (my husband works in Philly.)

What are you studying? I graduated last May. Philosophy w/minors in Religious
Studies and Psychology. I miss UD. I think it's a great college.
