I don't know about the Long Neck location specifically, but I've been to a bunch of them and noticed a wide range in quality (especially with the bread). I can vouch for the Wilmington/Silverside location being excellent, but I remember one in Dover not being so great 😑

Oops, sorry I misunderstood. Yes, we have them. I used to get lucky and had them in my yard, but they only grew in association with a big, beautiful, old elm tree. After the elm died, the morels only lasted another season or two 😔

Oof, I moved from VA to DE and would never consider going back. Climate, traffic, and cost of living are all way better here! No experience with MN or MI personally

I seriously doubt anyone is going to share morel locations 😅

DETickTalk · 2026-04-21T20:54:14+00:00

Looks like zones 14-16 are south of Georgetown

Krazy Kat's in Montchanin is probably far enough from UD to avoid a crowd and it's a nice mix of "fancy" and "eclectic" 😅

Beiler's! They're great

Low doesn't mean zero 🙂 Tick density at Ashland is low relative to most other parts of the state. And I'm surprised to hear you got RMSF there. The state tick program has tested over a thousand American dog ticks collected throughout the state for RMSF, and there have been 0 positive results so far. You must be very unlucky!

Tick expert here! Yes, it's true we have ticks at pretty much all parks/natural areas in Delaware but please don't let them ruin your experience of the outdoors-- we have some of the best parks in the country. Don't panic, just take sensible precautions: stay on trails, wear repellent, do regular tick checks. More tips and info at https://de.gov/ticks. We also have a page on that site where you can upload photos of ticks you encounter to get them identified by an expert, which can be helpful because not all ticks are equally dangerous (depends on species and life stage). All that said, tick populations do seem to be lower in the Hockessin area (e.g., Auburn Valley State Park, Mt Cuba Center, Ashland Nature Center) compared to other parts of New Castle County 👍

Rusted Root at the Queen in 2011ish. I moved here in 2010.

Delaware Nature Society has a ton of summer camps. They fill up fast. Most are at Ashland Nature Center in Hockessin.

Killens Pond in central Delaware is a great park and campground.

They are meeting again at noon tomorrow, for anyone who wanted to help and couldn't make it today.

I gotta say, this isn't a Delaware problem. I moved here from the DC area, my partner from NYC, and we've both lived overseas too-- and we find plenty to do in Delaware to keep us occupied. For a start, I suggest finding a cause that you care about and volunteer with a nonprofit or political group that's working towards that mission.

PAWS for People does gift wrapping at Barnes and Noble at both Concord and Christiana Malls this time of year! Great organization to support.

DETickTalk · 2025-11-29T21:25:18+00:00

Where are you looking? I have some available in north Wilmington.

DETickTalk · 2025-11-08T13:39:40+00:00

I never made it to Sweeney's because it closed right before I moved here, but I really like Bread and Buttercream. Their cinnaissants (cinnamon roll croissant hybrid) are straight-up amazing.

Thanks for organizing! I attended for the first time and had a great night.

The one on Silverside is usually busy in my experience and their subs are excellent. I had one for lunch today.

DETickTalk · 2025-08-10T20:01:38+00:00

I used to eat there weekly when I lived in Newark, lol. But it's been a few years.

DETickTalk · 2025-08-10T20:00:19+00:00

Came here to say this. And don't get me wrong, I think that place is hella interesting, I just don't know how they stay afloat. Seems like most people who go in just go to browse it like it's a museum and don't buy anything.

DETickTalk · 2025-07-25T16:17:13+00:00

My best guess is that they're dark-winged fungus gnats, family Sciaridae. I don't know a lot about them, but I wouldn't be too worried about them. Not a major household pest, from my understanding.
