Politics not withstanding, it is actually is a beautiful state, if one knows where to go.

Absolutely! My favorite is the sliver north and west of Wilmington in the Brandywine, Red Clay, and White Clay Creek valleys. My grandfather grew up on a farm in that area, and he and my grandmom are buried near there, not far from the PA border. The non-developed parts of the area bounded by the Susquehanna, the C&D Canal, I-76, and the Delaware River = my favorite part of the world.

I’ve always been more partial to the rural areas of lower slower, like Rte 9 in Kent.

But no doubt there is much beauty there.

My husband has been up in Dover several times over the past month or so and comes home just shaking his head as he notices more and more of what used to be rural Delaware becoming more and more suburban. He told me it reminds him of why he is so happy we’re raising our daughter where we are, it reminds him of Dover and Kent county when he was growing up in the 60s and 70s.
