You Know You're From Delaware When

[Tracy]

You know you are from Delaware if you know almost every celebrity that once lived here.

Bob Marley lived over westside for awhile

Well....Valerie Bertinelli lived in Gwyhurst when she was a kid and of course George Thorogood was from Newark.

George lived on Clearview Avenue in Naamans Gardens, a suburb of Wilmington. and later lived in Delaware City and St. Georges


Judge Reinhold(Wilmington), Cab Calloway(Hockessin), and Ryan Phillippe(Penn Acres in New Castle) Are also from DE...

Anybody famous from Sussex County???

[tarkus1]

[/list]Not only do I know where it is, I worked there.

I'm stumped. I thought the highest point, at least in NCC, was Iron Hill.
Which golf course?

[longnecker]

You know you're from Delaware when:

• You know where Greenwood is, and why you should drive exactly the speed limit there.
  

Or Harrington.

Try speeding through Georgetown and don't even think about not feeding a meter in Lewes.

Robert Mitchum lived in Felton for a few years.

thanx for the correction....think I just assumed that since he used to play at The Stone Balloon he was from Newark, but I guess that doesn't make a lot of sense

I have another one Ryan Phillipe is from New Castle

[witchofthedogs]

Tom Cruise's sister lived in Hickory Hill (Hockessin).

Mark Spitz (the olympic swimmer) lived on Owl's Nest Road.


I'm not sure if either of those is/was true... Just what I heard.

I think Bruce Willis' grandmom lived near St. Elizabeth for a time. I don't know that as a fact though.

[Chase]

Yes, she did. His mother grew up here. (I talked to her once on the phone... long story.)

Someone mentioned Elsmere, right?

[Roogle]

Speed through Elsmere if you want. Those police out there are phantoms. You never see them coming!

[Melanie]

Don't forget Odessa. I wouldn't speed through there, I know plenty people who have gotten tickets speeding through that little town.

[DEMOA]

How embarrassing! I think I only know about 4 or 5 things from that long list.

<<You can remember when Maryland Bank (MBNA) swallowed up Ogletown and Putt-Putt. >>

dont forget the Quality Car Wash and that little italian restaurant that stood where the rt 273 Eastbound on-ramp is now...and across from that was a mister donuts and a BP gas station.
