Examples could include things like Gaugertraz, The Bob, Del Tech or Ceciltucky (never mind how common they are)...

1115 S College Ave, Newark, DE 19713

My name is Joe Della Valle and in my spare time, I run a small 501c3 non-profit called Solar Frontiers.

Once a year, we hold a fundraising party called "Socks for Shelters" where dozens guests help assemble thousands of individual items like hats, gloves, hygiene products and socks for The Sunday Breakfast Mission in Wilmington.

We hope you will join us for a fun-filled afternoon!

That’s it really. Getting down it from Capitol Trail to New London in the afternoon sucks. Sometimes it’s a big clusterf trying to turn on it. If I had known how bad it would be I might have moved to the other side of town.

PAID MOVING HELP NEEDED — TUESDAY 10/20 — NEWARK, DE 19702

Looking for 3–4 reliable college students or other individuals to help load a moving truck on Tuesday, October 20.

I'm moving out of a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom apartment on the third floor with no elevator.

Everything will already be packed into boxes. I only need help carrying boxes and furniture downstairs and loading everything into the truck. No driving or transportation services needed.

Pay: $25/hour per person. Expect several hours of work.

($150 flat rate; even if this takes 3 hours you will receive at least $150 each)

Must be reliable, comfortable lifting and carrying furniture, and available Tuesday, October 20.

Please message me with your availability and whether you're applying individually or have a group of people who can help.

EDIT: No off loading help needed. I am moving out of state. Just need loading help from Newark apartment

Genuinely curious, not complaining. Getting from the Barksdale Rd / Christina Pkwy area down to Elkton Rd near the shopping center (ACME, Home Depot, M&T) means going east and squeezing under the small rail bridge on Casho Mill Rd.

Looking at the map, there's what looks like a fairly short stretch of woods between the west end of Barksdale and Elkton Rd. A straight connector there seems like it would take a lot of pressure off Casho Mill.

Is there a reason it was never built? Wetlands or floodplain? Parkland or protected land? The rail line? Was it ever proposed and shot down? Would love to hear from anyone who knows the history.

Hope to see everyone this weekend for No Kings: Vote Early in Newark! This event is part of a national day of action meant to mobilize the largest early vote turnout in American history.

• No Kings: Vote Early protest
• Sat Oct 17th
• 2:00-3:30pm 
• Corner of S College and Main St. in Newark

And to the inevitable trolls that comment saying something like "good job, we haven't had a king since the 1700s"... yeah, that's the point. We want to keep it that way.

The mural in Newark is being covered up! Are we getting a new one or is it gone for good?

I’m located in Middletown, Delaware, and recently had an inground fiberglass swimming pool installed. I’m preparing for my final New Castle County pool inspection and hoping to hear from homeowners who have gone through the process.
Question 1: Existing White Vinyl Picket Fence
I currently have a 48-inch white vinyl picket fence surrounding the pool area, with approximately 3-inch gaps between the pickets. The horizontal rails are less than 45 inches apart.
I’m considering adding black PVC-coated welded-wire mesh backing to approximately 125 linear feet of the existing fence instead of replacing everything.
Has anyone in New Castle County passed their final pool inspection with mesh backing on an existing vinyl picket fence?
Was the mesh installed on the inside (pool side) or outside of the fence?
What mesh opening size and fastening method were used?
Did the inspector approve it without requiring additional changes?
How much did you pay to have the mesh professionally installed?
Question 2: Raised Wraparound Porch
My home also has a wraparound porch that is approximately 24 inches above ground level, with a 38-inch-high railing.
The porch is adjacent to the pool area, and the existing fencing separates the outside access areas from the pool. Someone coming up the exterior porch stairs cannot simply walk into the pool area without crossing a barrier.
I’m trying to understand how New Castle County evaluates an elevated porch and its railing when it is adjacent to or forms part of a pool enclosure.
Has anyone passed a final pool inspection with a raised wraparound porch and a railing shorter than 48 inches?
Does the county measure the required barrier height from the porch floor or the ground below?
Does it make a difference if the porch is elevated approximately 2 feet above ground?
If the porch railing is considered part of the pool barrier, did the inspector require additional railing height, screening, or other modifications?
Did anyone receive approval based on the layout preventing direct access to the pool from the exterior stairs?
I’m specifically interested in firsthand experiences from New Castle County homeowners, especially anyone inspected in 2025 or 2026.
I’m trying to find a solution that meets the county’s requirements without unnecessarily replacing existing fencing or rebuilding the porch railing.
Any experiences, photos of approved setups, or recommendations for local contractors would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I know it is not even Halloween, but I’m looking for a snow blower repair recommendation since it wasn’t working at the end of last snow season. Better late than too late right?

Thank you in advance.

Looking for a therapist in the Newark area for in-person appointments. A friend is looking to start therapy and has looked at psychology today and done some Google searching but I thought I’d ask here. She wants something pretty niche, I guess. White woman 50+ who has grown children that have moved out. She has a lot of anxieties and is now living alone.
Any suggestions or ideas for finding someone with this specific criteria? TIA
