St. Patrick's Day is getting closer. No place will celebrate the feast day more than Wilmington's Irish neighborhood, Forty Acres. This picture is of St. Ann's Roman Catholic Church on Union Street near Gilpin Avenue, the church that centers the Forty Acres neighborhood.

The DuPont Experimental Station near Montchanin is the industrial headquarters of DuPont. You get a nice view of part of the Experimental Station from Rockford Park in Wilming, just across the Brandywine River from the Experimental Station.

Some rowhouses on Clifford Brown Walk, otherwise known as Poplar Street, in Wilmington's East Side neighborhood. Clifford Brown was a notable jazz musician in the 1950's who was born and raised in the East Side of Wilmington. He was regarded as one of the next huge names in jazz, until he died in a car accident.

Spring is in the air. Today it will get into the mid 60's, and tomorrow it will get into the low 70's. This warm weather means it will be time to visit the beach soon. Here are a couple businesses in Rehoboth Beach during Springtime.

St Patrick's Day is getting closer, so it's time to post a few pictures of Wilmington's Irish neighborhood, Forty Acres. Here are some rowhouses on Lincoln Street in Forty Acres.

The best place to get authentic items from Ireland in Delaware is from Sweeney's Irish Imports at the corner of Union Street and Gilpin Avenue in the Forty Acres neighborhood of Wilmington.

A nice shot! You nicely depicted a coastal Delaware town in their characteristic beach houses, poorly maintained roads (One should not compare Delaware roads with Saskatchewan, which has even worse roads in cities because of its harsh climate), typical cars... and is that thing in the end of the road a skyline or just some beach houses? or a church?

A small stream flows through the gardens at Winterthur near Greenville. Winterthur's gardens, planted by Henry DuPont, is said to be one best in the world. There will be plenty of Spring scenes from Winterthur now that Spring has arrived.

Those things at the end of the road are road signs. You'll find them on all of the roads that end at the beach; some will say "End of Road", other will say "Dune Crossing", and so on.
