The Picklr closes after a year in The Grove at Newark
The Grove at Newark has lost one of its largest tenants. The Picklr abruptly closed its doors this week, just over a year after it opened. "The Picklr Newark community was hands down the best community ever. We wouldn’t have been as great if it weren’t for all the staff and all the members that have come and gone over the year+ we’ve been here. It’s been great," the business posted in a farewell message on social media. "It’s so sad and it stinks that we are now closed as a facility, but the memories and the community are still here to stay." The closure comes a month after the chain of indoor pickleball clubs filed for bankruptcy. Founder and CEO Jorge Barragan told Sports Business Journal that some of the company's financial issues trace back to its decision to be a guarantor for facility lease payments for approximately 40 of its franchisees. “We signed, unfortunately, too many corporate guarantees that landed on the holding company.

Proposal for townhouses on Possum Park Road draws criticism from neighbors
A proposal to build a townhouse community on Possum Park Road is drawing strong backlash from nearby residents. Neighbors argue the project will exacerbate traffic issues in the area and negatively affect property values in The Hunt at Louviers, where houses sell for upward of $750,000, and nearby Chanterelle, where some houses top $1 million. "Progress shouldn't come at the expense of the communities that helped build Newark and Delaware," said Lawrence Garrison, who lives in the Hunt at Louviers. "Responsible growth means building where it makes sense and not simply wherever more units can fit. Our hope is that our elected representatives would protect the safety and the stability and the quality of life that's established in the neighborhoods, and not ask those neighborhoods to absorb the consequences of unnecessary development." On Oct. 20, the planning commission voted against recommending approval of the rezoning needed for the project. City council will consider the rezoning request in the coming weeks. The project is proposed for a vacant 3.3-acre lot at 275 Possum Park Road. The property is next to the Encore at Parkside senior living facility – formerly known as Millcroft – and backs up to The Hunt at Louviers
