The day will soon be here! We in Delaware City open our streets to show our own uniqueness in what is becoming a rarity…the American Small Town. I think we are somewhat blessed to be surrounded as we are with rivers and wetlands. It keeps the development at bay and forces us to concentrate on what we already have within our borders. And concentrate we are. In the 22 years since I have chosen to call this place home, our community is taking a turn for the better. There is a genuine feeling of community here, and the business center is becoming more and more robust.
So welcome, and come down for a visit. There will be much to do over the weekend, beginning with a hoe down to support Main Street on Friday night (July 15, in the lot behind Crabby Dicks), a parade Saturday morning (the 16th, for those keeping track); crafts, rides, food and music in the park all day and topped off with what I consider to be the best fireworks the state offers.
I wandered around town snapping some shots for you to enjoy a glimpse of us before you come!
Some spots to visit on Clinton Street:
Crabby Dicks
The Ice Cream Parlor
Riverside Coffee
