But I think the September issue raises the bar to a new level!

I highly recommend you pick up a copy or take a look at the issue online here.

I am confident that you will gain new insights into the great community we have here as well as learn about all of the fun and entertaining things to do in the coming weeks and months.

Recently, the site recommended Wilmington as a great place for a day trip - here's an excerpt:

Hang out in the Market Street area for history, shopping and restaurants centered in this downtown area. Rodney Square is right in the center of this business district and is a good place to start walking through the city.

Obviously, I agree with the writer's suggestions.

Administrators with the Delaware State Housing Authority are proposing a series of changes to the program that will, among other things, lower the minimum qualified investment threshold from $25,000 to $15,000.

I appreciate all that the state of Delaware is doing to encourage people to live, work, play, and invest in our downtown.
