They have one of the largest Mac terminals in Dover and have the most C5A's in the world.

I drove through Delaware and I’m still not sure that it really exists. It feels like some other state set up a shell state and they haven’t had to use it yet. Seriously though, if you’re from the south it’ll surprise you how small some of those northeast states are geographically.

I have never met a single soul from Delaware.

In fact, the location of Delaware puts it out of the way of 99.999% of passing traffic on the interstate.

Going to Delaware is going out of your way as its location is a dead end.

I was born in the first state. Pops was a C-5 pilot.

We moved all over but I spent high school in Atlanta (he was flying C5s out of Dobbins to test them after a wing upgrade project - then he worked as air Force liaison to civil air patrol).

I had left at only 8 weeks of age and never returned to Delaware until my work was shuttering a site in immediately adjacent MD. This provided an opportunity to test an experimental technique on some production scale equipment.

The French guys (animal health company with lots of French and German sites) I was with were loving the no sales tax and were stocking up on cigarettes. One almost bought a Stratocaster but decided not too. We got a lot of good seafood and it was strange to see so many chicken houses and corn growing to support them. We grow more chicken in GA but I would guess that there are more per unit area on Delmarva.

All that chicken money means lots of Purdue money for the Salisbury Shorebirds (in MD very close to DE). Baller-esque minor league park.

Dupont was founded in deleware and the Dupont family is still there. I was stationed there for 5 years and your not missing much except tax free shopping.

Amen and that 20 something mile stretch that is a toll road and goes through Delaware is pure hell.

Traveled that many times for work in newark, wilmington and then York Pa.

It is by FAR not the worst.

The tunnel action outside Baltimore is sketchy though

It exists solely on paper.

Like all the corporations and LLC's that are "based" there.

The have their own punch. Delaware Punch reminds me of when I was a kid and we and went to the public pool. I would order a Delaware Punch.

It must exist for that reason alone.
