I live in between Newark and Wilmington. I am a graduate student and T.A. at U of D. I just moved here a few months ago. I like this state more than Pennsylvania, where I lived before. The people seem more progressive minded (hip if you like haha). However, the drivers are insanely aggressive, which I am slowly adapting to. I ride a bicycle to get to campus, and riding on Kirkwood Highway is scary as shit sometimes.
I was born and raised in Wilmington, but now I live in one of the surrounding big cities. Good luck meeting new people - it can be tough if you're not around U of D.
Hip minded people in Newark? hmm.. let me know when you find them. It would thrill me to find them. I'm doing everything I can to get away from this place because of that. Cecil County had more open minded people. Perhaps it's just the university students...
Port Penn ,de I live in the smallest town in the least recognized state.. Newark has some cool people, mostly alot of outta state people that like to get drunk and start fights though.
Hey there, SoulVibrations! Yeah, I gotta admit I've never heard of Port Penn (though I'm not originally from DE); but it's look like it's near the water which has gotta be cool.
Nerva, I've lived here all my life and never heard of port penn either until about 2 years ago when i moved there.. Yea i could piss on the river from my yard, its cool except for the massive bug population during the summer months.

Hey, Delawarians. Just checking in to see the new people here. Dj Dilation- I know Elsmere. Ironically, I travel through it in order to get to my Suboxone doctor haha.
Glad i found this thread! We need a forum! I'm from northern de, moved out to colorado then back here. UGH. What a drag Glad i found this forum too! Off to post
I personally like Delaware more than where I grew up (rural Lancaster county PA- aka "Amish Country"). The people here are much more down-to-earth and more 'classy' in a way. I don't know how to put it. I don't mean "rich classy", as I live in a very low income apartment complex with every race of people on earth (white, black, different hispanic nations, asian, etc.). It just seems like the people are more focused on living a happy life rather than some sort of phony utopian "shut out reality" life like in Lancaster.
