Thanks for the comments, everyone! Hopefully no one is all Delawared out, because I'll be putting up more Delaware threads in the coming months. Don't ignore them when I post them, just because you've seen every place in the state!

Now you just need to come back and take some pictures for your ColDay series and for UrbanOhio.com.

What you see from I-95 is no indication of what the entire state is like. You should know this; New Jersey is more than what you see from the Turnpike.

Definitely. Even if you're short on time, there's plenty of places to see near the expressways.

More to come, but maybe it's time to see it in person again and give your take on parts of the state.

Indeed. Northern Delaware is dense with an industrial past and a white collar present, while Slower Lower Delaware is still almost agricultural. Even with the size of our small state, there's differences in character of places, with northern influences in the north and southern influences in the south.

On the contrary, now you have an idea of what places you would like to visit. You can then decide what's not worth visiting, as well. And no, not every place is not worth visiting!

I'd be a tenth of the way there if I was trying it. Next up, photographing all of the county seats in Pennsylvania, New York, Maryland, and New Jersey. I'm pretty well into the list.

Nice photos.
I remember that. But I heard more about the Wayne's World bit; most states are known by the public for a building or monument or park, but Delaware is known by the public for being a place that no one knows about. It's unfortunate, but it is what it is.

Xzmattzx, this is a great collection of photographs and a wonderful representation of the state. It makes me miss Delaware and I have never lived there! It was my getaway for many years.
Rehoboth is one of my favorite places too. I always go there if I'm going to the beach for a day, because I can pick up salt water taffy at Dolle's and it's the first beach town (technically Lewes is, but swimming in the bay just isn't the same). When I'm with friends, though, we hit up Dewey, for obvious reasons.
