4. Rehoboth and the other beaches.
Beautiful shore. I've only seen a bit of Wilmington (residential neighborhood for a wedding) but it was very nice.

I like Delaware. :)

7. Well, for one thing,
It's small enough to drive through without stopping. That is all.

13. Our second smallest state, which took a great risk in being the first to ratify the Constitution.
A slave state, which chose not to secede during the Civil War, and unlike Maryland, Kentucky and Missouri, did not have to occupied by Union Troops to keep it here.

If nothing else, Delaware is pleasantly contrarian. Probably why I like Joe Biden too...

14. LynneSyn's home is there! And she's a wonderful host
Edited on Fri Feb-06-09 04:06 PM by ThomCat
and a really incredibly sweet person. And I really enjoyed the company the whole time I was going there, hanging out, and coming back.

I have nothing bad to say about my Delaware experience, so it must be a nice place. :)

It's the people that make it so.

16. I like the fact that I don't live in Delaware.
Plus, I like that it only has 3 counties. How quaint.

19. It's the First State!
of course, that's because the vote to ratify the Constitution was unanimous.

3-0. :-)

20. I kind of dig Wilmington...
neat museums, clean for a decent-sized city and nice restaurants. Cheaper than NYC.

My roommate's from there though and she hates it.

21. delaware credit card law?
http://www.wisegeek.com/why-do-so-many-credit-card-companies-have-a-wilmington-delaware-address.htm

Today, there are several major credit card companies stationed in Wilmington. These include Bank of America, Chase, Barclays (which used to be Juniper), and ING Direct. A number of smaller credit card companies also have their home base in Delaware. What this means for the consumer, especially if you’re sifting through a lot of credit card offers, is that you’ll find numerous ones coming from Delaware. If you do decide to apply for a credit card that is from a company in Delaware, it’s important to read all fine print carefully. You may pay higher interest rates, especially if your credit is not solid. With the luxury of good credit, you may want to shop around for the best credit card offers, especially those from states with laws less likely to favor the credit card industry.

25. They can look down their noses at Rhode Island
don't worry about Delaware-Maryland and Virginia have it surrounded. Its evil is contained.
