You think wrong.........the reference in regard to Dover Downs is for location reference and an indication of what the local police have to deal with this weeked, besides this trajedy.
This only became national news because of all the national news outlets in Dover because it is raceweekend. People know where the track is, they don't necessarily know where DelState is located.
So the previous sentence mentioning it was a black collage was written for the same reasons? To give location and what the police had to deal with? Why were the two sentences placed in juxtaposition if the author had no intention of connecting the two? He should have started a new paragraph if he was changing the subject to location.
The article linked has changed drastically since my first post. This is not the same article I was posting to.
People know where the track is, they don't necessarily know where DelState is located.
There is a byline to the story and people do know where Dover is. Local landmarks are not necessary. Who cares if it is across the street from the race track or from McDonald's.
