wilmington, delaware: straight up architecture




What you don't see in this picture are the quaint streets of old
Wilmington, a few short blocks away and in the shadow of this
and all the other recent building bustle of one of American's least known
little cities (pop around 72,000) There are condos. There are theaters. Yes, there
are banks. And cool-ass european curtain-wall design? Why the heck not!?

If you're driving through Delaware, which we do a whole lot in this
region, check out this building, where 95 makes a little dip into town - an
architectural sweet spot in an otherwise forgettable drive along the
corridor from New York to D.C.

Also remarkable: Newark (no, the other one) - WHO NEW ARK?!
University of Delaware...you know those college towns.. this is
a cute one. Good food especially if you'd like to avoid a cinnebon
at the Flying J.
