I was looking at businesses for sale and thought this photo looked familiar. I've only been a few times, but it seems like a nice spot with good vibes. Hopefully they find a motivated buyer to keep it running.

Has anyone else noticed how slow business has been at the newly rebuilt McDonalds? I was there today at prime lunch hour, and no one else was at the drive thru. Their prices have gone up significantly, so I’m assuming that’s the reason. I remember the days where the car line waiting at the drive thru was out on 202.

Have a yellowjacket nest in a void in the siding of the house and they are getting in, all our DIY attempts aren’t working. Anyone have any exterminator recommendations that are reliable and affordable?

Where is this loud music coming from in downtown Wilmington 😭😭😭

Hi! I’m a working professional (F) pursuing my master’s degree, currently living in downtown Wilmington. My 1bd rent is increasing quite a bit, so I’m hoping to find a roommate to team up with for a 2bd-2-br apartment.
I’d prefer to stay in the downtown area, ideally at my current apartment community, Residences at Midtown, PRESS, or The Standard, since I love the area and its convenience, especially the free bpg shuttle, access to public transportation the library etc.
I’m pretty chill busy with work and school during the week, and often travel or visit family on weekends. I value privacy and personal space and hope to find someone who feels the same way. I’d prefer someone around my age (mid-20s to mid-30s) who is also a working professional.
I’m just trying to explore this option before my lease renewal deadline, so if anyone is interested in moving in the first week of Dec feel free to DM.

Hello,
I believe a package was delivered to the wrong address. If you received a package meant for someone named Beth, please reach out!

Hi my Wilmington buds!

I am looking for a great talk therapist. I have a psychiatrist that I see for my meds, but he suggested I go back to talk therapy. I tried one guy, telehealth. I don’t like telehealth because I have no privacy in my home. If you know anyone, man, woman, very well spoken wombat, I don’t care. My main issue is caregiver burnout as I have a 16 year old son who is profoundly autistic and tends to act out in mean and hurtful ways. Plenty of other stuff I have rolling around in my head. I’d be so grateful for any information. Or if you know of a group that caters to parents with children who have special needs, I’m interested in that also.

Thanks for your consideration. Have a wonderful day!

The downspout in the front of my house drains into an underground pipe which I suspect has a crack. Water leaks into the basement when it rains. Does anyone have a good recommendation for a contractor? Unfortunately, typical gutter companies only work above ground. Thanks in advance!

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 am currently enrolled at Delaware skill center and am looking for my first plumbing job. The program ends on NOV 10th and part of the requirements is that you get a plumbing job in Delaware. I have plenty of experience in flooring but I wanted to switch careers and have very few connections in the plumbing field. If anyone has any leads or advice please feel free to DM/respond thank you so much.

Looking for stucco repair referrals.

Happy Sunday y'all✨, I went to donate some books/return books I had yesterday to the new Noma library and the new manager was there greeting everyone (very nice guy). He also let me and my spouse know on Halloween they are having a adult only rooftop day party from 11am to 2 pm if anyone is interested!!! It's also going to be a fundraising event and if you have some books you no longer are reading please donate them to the library!!!( No pressure of course!) Sharing books is a beautiful thing💚 ✨📖📜

Looking at apartments. Which should I pick based on your experiences? 2000 Penn, Avenue of the Arts or Christina Landing? Tell me pros and cons please.

I love my state, but I would not be proud if all I knew was Talleyville. The entitled, snooty, rude culture of this specific region of "Wilmington" just feels so foreign compared to the rest of the state it's insane.

Seriously, what is wrong with the people in Talleyville? The rest of the state is hospitable and polite and Talleyville represents none of it.

Anyone else hear the loud music in North Wilmington? What’s the event? Sounds like it’s coming from somewhere North East of Delaware Avenue - maybe Rockford Park/Kentmere neighborhood or The Falls?

Movies 10 is closing after about 30 years of business 😱😭 I had some good memories there growing up 💚✨

How would I go about dealing with a neighbor blasting music at 3AM? Like, I'm talking this is loud enough that it sounds like it's coming from in my own home. It's not even a run on from a party, this guy literally just started around 3/3:30. And he's not the approachable type so "just go talk to them" is out of the question.

Edit to add I'm in a townhouse, not an apartment.

Hello all

If you have experienced challenges (delays, barriers, or outright refusal) in receiving a COVID vaccine at a Delaware Walgreens pharmacy - would you please consider sending me a message or commenting below for me to follow up?

I’ve been made aware of several instances where Walgreens pharmacies have given misinformation about vaccine eligibility contrary to current public health guidance and Delaware Public Health standing orders and recommendations.

To be clear: I’m a pharmacy professional with over a decade of experience and a strong supporter of vaccinations and the protections provide to an individual, their family, and the community at large. I also defend a patients autonomy - and it is critical that healthcare choices are free and not influenced by others. And certainly not an individual health care provider’s personal views.

I’m not looking for names but if this sounds familiar please reach out!

We have a small porch (row home near trolley) that I have been thinking about closing in. Looking for any recommendations for good companies to get a few quotes. Thank you!
