I use that street alot. I think it's an arguement against a new ramp for the Riverfront area.

I wasn't clear in my post. What I meant was that the average row home in Wilmington is a "one window, one door," type (the front is one double hung window and the door). There are larger ones, in Forty Acres and Brandywine Village areas that are "two windows, one door," but there are alot more of the "one window, one door" types. The "two window" jobs are pretty spacious in my opinion, but are usually two floors as opposed to the three floors of the usual "one window" homes.
As for the neighborhood names, I didn't know that about Bayard Square. There's alot I still don't know about this town, being an outsider. People calling Browntown/Hedgeville Southbridge is pretty bad, but it can't be nearly as annoying as people calling the Christina River the Christiana River. That always eats me.
Just a little bit of information: the garage going in between Orange and Shipley will be 361 spaces and will have 14,400 sq. ft. of retail on the ground floor. That's real progress for Orange and Shipley. New space is what alot of new retail businesses are looking for. Sorry, but I haven't been able to get my hands on any renderings (need someone at WTC for that one since they're financing it).
Oh, and a crane is back on the Renaissance center site...for whatever that's worth.
