Nice pics. To be quite honest, Matt, I've read a lot of your speeches on Wilmington's lack of respect and didn't really see your point until now. Wilmington looks really great in these pics, and seems to have a lot more of a city feel than I had first thought. Nice job.
Wilmington, DE: Center City and Rodney Square (part 11)
this is the "in depth look at wilmington" thread #11. i've decided to start referring to these threads by the neighborhoods covered in order to draw a little more interest
i went back to center city and rodney square for some more pictures. the main reason i decided to cover this area again was to get pictures of the mbna branding on their buildings before it was replaced with bank of america branding.
the chase manhattan center, american international building, and wilmington trust building.
