5 Lost Delaware Neighborhoods That Disappeared From the Map

A street can survive after nearly every home beside it has gone. In Delaware, the marks of vanished residential life appear in floodplain land, former industrial housing, cleared city blocks, and a highway corridor cut through an established community.

National Scrapple Day in Delaware brings fun ideas to munch on

Delaware is a little off-center to many people who aren't from here, and so is some of the state's favorite food. Scrapple is arguably the most unique food tied to Delaware, partly because it's a little divisive. This meaty loaf is so special that it gets its own holiday: National Scrapple Day , celebrated on Nov. 9. While Delawareans typically eat scrapple like a piece of breakfast sausage, here are more interesting ways to eat it, plus the origin story of scrapple for those who are new. The Meat Stands Alone: Most Uniquely Delaware thing of all? You either love it or hate it Scrapple cheesesteak and fries If it takes a mountain of French fries to satisfy your cravings, you might want to try some meaty scrapple fries. These treats are a (metaphorical) hill worth dying on. Little Creek Grill near Dover specializes in these bars of meat that look more like French toast sticks than French fries. Like regular fries, these scrapple delights can be dipped into ketchup (or maple syrup). Other interesting scrapple items at Little Creek grill include "The Scrappy," a sandwich that fights for your appetite. The Scrappy is made with Hughes Delaware Maid Scrapple

It's time to stand up against changes in Rehoboth

I suspect a lot of people don’t know the history of height restrictions and other efforts made over the years to retain the charm and scale of Rehoboth Beach and how we got to them. It is worthy of a reminder and discussion. There is an old saying, “Those who don’t learn their history are doomed to repeat it."
