Every town has its benefits and quirks. A college town has even more, it's got all of the character that the townspeople have given it and the weird things that colleges seem to lend to the situation. It's a mix of things.
Well, this college town has its ups and downs. Here are 15 of the "ups" that keep me coming back to Delaware.
1. "The Dirty D"
How could you hate a town we call the Dirty D? Well, OK, so we stole it from Detroit, but that's neither here nor there.
2. Ohio Wesleyan University
We can complain all we want, but OWU is pretty great.
3. The Fair / Brown Jug
There is fair food and many, many horses in the parade.
4. Townies
Sometimes they're crazy, and sometimes they do really cool things like car shows and First Friday downtown.
5. Marg Monday
At Mi Cerritos of course!
6. Dan's Deli
Late night, greasy food, what could be better?
7. D.P.S.
No matter what anyone says it definitely stands for Dead People's Stuff.
8. The Humane Society
We're no longer allowed to have dogs or cats, so we just spend a lot of time looking at them.
9. The Stretch
College students and townies flock here.
10. Pat Catan's
Easily the most exciting thing to come to Delaware in years!
11. GoodWill
My favorite place to shop!
12. 50 Cent
#SolarSaloon
13. Petland
I mean, this is obviously for the same reason as the Human Society, but Petland has puppies. I have five separate friends with pictures with the same basset hound pup.
14. The Strand
Cheap movies? Yes please!
15. Hambo
Golden and fried; this frequently 24-hour diner fulfills my late night potato needs.
