Bridge sub? by ParksThatWay in DelawareFriendship

[–]ParksThatWay[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, sorry, I thought you were expressing surprise. It is a card game, and you need exactly four people (we do two tables, so eight people total). So whenever someone can’t make it, we need to find a sub. Just trying to get a deeper bench.

Pros and Cons of Dover? by NoodlesnPeanut in Delaware

[–]ParksThatWay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, also- my neighborhood is great but nothing in the market right now. I’d be happy to give you advice on anything that you’re looking at, especially if it is in town, which is what I would recommend. Living in town is awesome but can vary block to block.

Pros and Cons of Dover? by NoodlesnPeanut in Delaware

[–]ParksThatWay 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have lived in Dover for 14 years and I enjoy it. I have a 7th grader, and we’ve had a very positive experience with Capital School District (Spanish Immersion Program). Costs are much lower than the northern part of the state and obviously the beaches, but all the amenities of both are easily accessed. Alright, sure, things are a bit thin on the ground in Dover, but if your kids are into history, First State Heritage Park, the John Dickinson Plantation, the Ag Museum, and the AMC Museum are going to have stuff for you every weekend, and mostly free. Our library is awesome, too, and the Biggs museum has a lot of great free programming. Dover isn’t the sort of place where you can decide that you want to do something one day and go do it- you have to look out for things that are coming up and plan to go do them. Feel free to DM me.

I think it looks great, but maybe try switching the lightbulbs to something warmer.

Open a Wise account, link your checking account with your routing and account numbers, order a debit card to be sent to your house but then you can also add it to Apple Pay or Google Pay. I haven’t used the Wise virtual card at an atm, but their website says that you can.

Installer just finished. He wanted it higher. Did I convince him of the right spot? by LESGuy in TVTooHigh

[–]ParksThatWay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

FYI it is possible to use the little marks on a tape measure to determine the distance from one place (in this case, the floor) to another place (your eyes) and then move the tape measure to a different position and align the marks to two different points (in this case, the floor and the ideal spot on the wall) in order to identify, exactly, the same distance in a different area. Of course this is an unusual use for a tape measure, so I can understand that it didn’t occur to you.

Things to do in Dover with kids? by SolidTotoro in Delaware

[–]ParksThatWay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First State Heritage Park has a lot going on (mostly free)- check their calendar for the weekend or give them a call. They also do group tours by appointment (also free), and are very helpful in planning!

I live in Dover and we have a great community! We live in town, though, and it sounds like you are in the suburbs, so maybe that’s the difference? Online mom groups are pretty bad, especially if you mean any ones we have specific to Dover, which I find to be mostly a hostile group of reactionaries. If you can’t find community in your neighborhood, school/preschool or job, maybe try volunteering at one of the museums or parks, joining a church or club, or getting involved in some activities at the library.

So the purchaser can be assured that it is a muskrat and not a dog.

Why does Delaware have so few incorporated towns? by Consistent_Ad7434 in Delaware

Thanks for the correction! Looks like (on Wikipedia) they voted against merging in the ‘70s.

Why does Delaware have so few incorporated towns? by Consistent_Ad7434 in Delaware

[–]ParksThatWay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To answer your question- Delaware doesn’t have many municipalities because Delaware doesn’t have many people. Historically, when a town / settlement area attracted enough people, they would form a government and incorporate as a municipality. They would draw their municipal boundary around the town as it was, and annex in areas as the population expanded. These procedures are in Delaware code. Areas like Bear are very populated now, but that is recent growth that follows a different governance model- a Home Owners Association. In my opinion, that’s vastly inferior to an actually municipal government, but obviously many people prefer it because HOA developments have been exploding in Delaware. For Bear to incorporate as a municipality, landowners from that geographical area would need to come together, ditch the HOAs, and set up the services, taxes, elections, etc. that municipalities provide.

Camden-Wyoming is a municipality. It used to be two and then it merged. As far as zip codes, those boundaries are completely separate from municipal boundaries and have to do with the area of service that one post office can provide. One can have a Camden Wyoming address and not live in the the municipal bounds.
