Thanksgiving is an enduringly beloved American holiday for many reasons: the sumptuous cuisine, the beauty of the foliage, the extra time we have with our families if we’re fortunate enough and, to many, the joy that comes from doing things to make life better for [...]

Today’s post is time-sensitive for two reasons: One, we have a big election coming up on November 5^th, and if you’re new to Delaware you might have questions about who represents your district and need some additional info from the Cape Gazette’s Election Guide before casting your vote. Two, we’re in the midst of one of the most spectacular autumns I can remember, and the paper’s [...]

You might be surprised and the vast opportunities to experience live theatre in our little state. From Wilmington to the beaches, there are about 50 large and small venues featuring programs for all ages [...]

This blog post is a bit different from those I’ve done over the past couple of years because I’m sharing it with a sense of urgency – and opportunity.

Here are a few especially cool ones.
