There are two residential buildings on the Riverfront. They were built in 2005 and 2007.

It's great that they put the motto in quotes...that way we know they're saying it. Or more correctly, that way we know that they didn't have a high falutin' editor.

It was. Now Happy Harry's is Walgreen's, but to the dismay of Delawareans. Walgreen's bought Happy Harry's, our local drgustore chain, a few years ago and made the switch with the branding this summer, hence the pictures before the change was made. Delaware is fiercely loyal to state/local brands, hence the bank war evident in the picture below...

Top notch collection, Matt!

I think it's interesting too, and these competing billboards are just part of the bank war going on since M&T Bank bought Wilmington Trust. Ads side-by-side in the newspaper, radio ads going after each other, Internet ads, etc are everywhere.
