Building is booming at certain communities in Lewes, Delaware, like Breakwater.

Do you know the difference between "land lease" and "fee simple"? I never did until I got into real estate and moved to Delaware. In a land lease community, you buy the house but you do not own the land on which it sits. You pay a monthly or annual fee to rent the lot from the owner of the community. Even though this makes the home more [...]

Look at all those wonderful cheeses, meats, breads and deserts. Everything is brought in from the Bronx, NY, or prepared right here by members of the family. Every time I pass by Touch of Italy, at the corner of 2nd Street and Savannah Rd., the store is full of customers. No longer do I have to explain [...]
